Parenting with Eyes Wide Open: Hidden in Plain Sight | Thursday, November 21 at 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in Northern Middle School's auditorium | Could you spot the warning signs of substance use in your teen's bedroom? The CDC reports that 50% of youth are using substances alone at home, making parental awareness crucial. Person County Schools and Insight Human Services invite you to "Hidden in Plain Sight," an eye-opening interactive experience that could help protect our youth. Step into a recreated teenage bedroom where everyday items may not be what they seem. This powerful demonstration reveals how common objects can be used to hide drugs, vaping devices, and alcohol, while educating parents and community members about current substance abuse trends and warning signs. Don't miss this opportunity to gain vital knowledge about youth substance use, modern drug paraphernalia, and concealment methods.

No school on Monday, November 11th in honor of Veterans Day! Your bravery and sacrifice for our freedom inspire us every day. Thank you for your service and dedication to our country. We are forever grateful!

This is Ashley Warren principal of Stories Creek Elementary School with an important announcement. The safety and welfare of our students and staff are our highest priority at Stories Creek. This message is to notify you that today our students and staff practiced one of many planned lockdown drills throughout the school year. Our students and staff did a wonderful job practicing today’s lockdown drill. Our school continues to work closely with local authorities to correctly develop, implement, and refine safety procedures. The goal of our drills throughout the school year is to improve our ability to protect students. We are pleased with the outcome of today’s drill and feel reassured that our safety plans can be implemented effectively by our staff. Please talk with your child, if you deem it appropriate, about the drill. Our goal, while practicing important safety procedures, is to be sure all students feel safe. I also ask that you please reinforce to your child that if they see something they feel is inappropriate, to please share that information with the first adult in which they come in contact. Thanks for your continued support and trust in the Stories Creek staff and our school resource officers. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to call us.

Reminder: No School on Monday, October 28th, for a required teacher workday! This workday is for all PCS schools except for Person Early College and Earl Bradsher Preschool.
