Good afternoon Pioneer Families:
Thank you again for your flexibility! We cancelled school today (12/8/2020) due to an issue with our boiler. Thanks to the hard work and long hours by NC Utilities and NCPS Maintenance, we are safe to return to normal activities this afternoon including all practices and games.
As all other NCPS buildings are in session today, we will continue to follow the district calendar which means all "A-K" students will report on tomorrow. Teachers will be communicating how this changes (if at all) reviews for finals and their finals schedule. If you have any questions, please contact me at bhoover@nebcityps.org.
Have a great day and Go Pioneers!

Access here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLau3fLIJ-tlYrHsGBxf7xnGQeosuL5-aJ&utm_source=Professionals&utm_campaign=e596202fba-Counselor_VCF-fasfademo&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_9c6e5f7813-e596202fba-88799489&mc_cid=e596202fba&mc_eid=8e07075fbe
Remember that the FAFSA is now open and if you are planning to attend college you should get this done ASAP! This is the process that determines your financial aid. The colleges to which you apply need your FAFSA before they can provide you with a financial aid award letter.
