    Hello Team Halifax!
     
    I hope this finds you healthy and happy! As my team and I completed the Middle of Year walkthrough, I want to share with you how proud I am of our students and staff for tackling the challenges of this school year and how they have responded with perseverance, resilience, and excellence! 
     
    As the number of positive COVID-19 cases across the district remains low and with the spring weather quickly approaching, we remain hopeful and optimistic that the pandemic will soon be in our rear-view mirror. With that in mind, and with the awareness of recent decisions made in our state regarding mask mandates in schools, the leadership team will continue to monitor COVID-19 cases to make the best decision to keep our school community safe. We will continue to maintain our health and safety protocols to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19, as safety is our number one priority. 
     
    On behalf of the Board of Education, thank you for your dedication and continued support of Halifax County Schools.

    March 2 is National Read Across America Day, a day to celebrate our favorite activity. The day was established by the National Education Association (NEA) in 1998 to help get kids excited about reading. The day occurs each year on the birthday of beloved children’s book author Dr. Seuss. On National Read Across America Day, students, teachers, parents, and community members around the nation come together to read books and celebrate the joy of reading. 
     
    The School Social Work Association of America is proud to promote National School Social Work Week, held the first full calendar week of March (Sunday - Saturday). The theme for National School Social Work Week 2022 is “Time to Shine.” SSWAA believes that School Social Workers shine brightly for their students, families, and school communities. Shining hope. Shining understanding. Shining respect.
