Dear ARAPAHOE CHARTER SCHOOL families,

I am the Box Tops for Education Coordinator for our school, and I am reaching out to show you how Box Tops can help give our students what they need to succeed.

It’s easy! Here’s how it works:

Buy Box Tops products. With hundreds of participating products, there are lots of chances to earn!

Scan your receipt with the Box Tops app within 14 days of purchase and automatically earn for ARAPAHOE CHARTER SCHOOL with every Box Tops product you buy.

If you shop online, you can earn with your digital or email receipt, too. See how to submit those receipts here.

Our goal is to earn $1,000.00 through Box Tops this year. We are currently 7% of the way there!

Remember, you can earn a bonus for our school by referring your friends, family and other parents at ARAPAHOE CHARTER SCHOOL to sign up for Box Tops. You’ll both earn a bonus when they scan their first receipt with the Box Tops app.

Every Box Tops product counts towards our goal. Let’s make a difference together. We can do this!

Sincerely,
Sherry R.

(You can download the app here.)

NC Driver’s Education Course

The driver’s education program for students attending a school in Pamlico County is provided by funding from county commissioners and coordinated through Pamlico County Schools. Students who are 14 1/2 and older are eligible to apply to take the North Carolina Driver’s Education course. The course consists of 30 classroom instructional hours and 6 hours of Behind-the-Wheel training with a driving instructor. Students must be in good academic standing, making progress toward high school graduation, and have no discipline issues.
 
When a class is available, the county coordinator notifies the Point-of-Contact (POC) at each school and the POC then notifies the students that a class is scheduled. Students are responsible for registering themselves for a class. However, registration does not necessarily mean acceptance into a class. Once the registration period is over, the coordinator contacts each school’s POC and informs which students have been accepted into the class. The coordinator and POC then notify the students who are accepted. 
 
Sherry Reeves is the POC for Arapahoe Charter School.
