Good afternoon, This is Dr. Sandra Carter, Superintendent of Caswell County Schools. It is Thursday afternoon, Jan. 14th at 5:00pm.
The purpose of the message is to provide you with several important updates.

To assist parents in the transition to Plan B, a Reopening Guide for Parents manual has been posted on the CCS district and school websites. Included in the manual you will find specific information about what to expect during the reopening of Caswell County Schools under learning model B.
Beginning January 25th, the Caswell County Board of Education meetings will be conducted remotely and electronically due to COVID-19. The media and public may access the meeting via Zoom. Detailed information is listed on the Caswell County Schools’ district website.
As a reminder, and as listed on the Caswell County Schools’ calendar, Monday, Jan. 18th, is Martin Luther King Holiday with no school for students and staff. I wish you a safe and restful holiday.
