Good morning, this is Timothy Mudd, principal at Parker Middle School with an important message. Due to projected severe weather this afternoon, all NCPS schools are dismissing early. We will dismiss all students at 12:00 noon. Please make arrangements to ensure your child is picked up today no later than 12:15 PM. Thank you and stay safe!

EARLY RELEASE - January 9, 2024 All NCPS schools will open at their regular times but will have a 3-hour early dismissal.

The most recent federal data show that in the 2020-21 school year, at least 14.7 million students nationwide were chronically absent. This means that chronic absence has almost doubled from the more than 8 million students, pre-Covid-19, who were missing so many days of school that they were academically at risk. Chronic absence — missing 10 percent or more of school days due to absence for any reason—excused, unexcused absences, and suspensions—can translate into students having difficulty learning to read by the third grade, achieving in middle school, and graduating from high school.
