The Exceptional Children Department, in an effort to ensure that the district supports this initiative, would like to increase public awareness about Child Find in Northampton County.  What is Project Child Find? Child Find is a process through the Exceptional Children Division of the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction to identify, locate and evaluate children with disabilities who may be in need of special education or related services.  This includes children ages 3-21 who: attend public or private schools are homeschooled and/or are homeless or wards of the state are highly mobile or migrant Project child find is also an endeavor to inform parents and/or guardians of the services available from their local school system and other state and community agencies. These services might include an evaluation, development of an individualized education plan or referral to outside agencies as deemed appropriate by the IEP team. To make a referral, a parent/legal guardian may contact the principal at the child’s school, counselor or teacher.

FAFSA 2023-24 is available starting tomorrow - EDNC.org

On Saturday, the 2023-24 FAFSA cycle officially begins.  The form is open until June 30, 2024, on a rolling basis. Students should complete the form as soon as possible, as many schools award aid on a first-come, first-served basis.    Students who complete the FAFSA can seek more aid opportunities, and they’re also  more likely to enroll in higher education , according to a 2020 report by the Education Strategy Group (ESG).   Completing the FAFSA is free , but other challenges exist, particularly for first-generation prospective college students and students of color.    We put together a guide with resources and key information to help you or a student you know complete the form.  Find it here.
