Celebrating National Principals Month
October is National Principals Month, and we proudly recognize the incredible leadership of our principals. Each day, they balance instruction, operations, community, and culture—all with students at the center.
Their work often happens behind the scenes, but the impact lasts a lifetime. We are deeply grateful for their courage, compassion, and commitment to shaping the future of our schools.
Join us in celebrating and thanking our principals for leading with vision and heart—not just this month, but every day.

Student Dental Clinic Information
If you are interested in signing your student up for dental services, use the link below:
Online Enrollment Links: https://www.myschooldentist.com/BNBCNC_schsrm
Enrollment deadline: October 24th
Clinic date(s) October 28-29
Reminder: Clinics are primarily for students without a regular dentist OR for those who wish to transition to our program from a regular dentist.
Parents of students already under routine care who do not wish to switch from their current dentist should contact the Patient Support Call Center at (800) 409-2563 to opt out if they've already enrolled.
Parents should also opt out if their child has had a dental visit in the past 6 months or has one scheduled soon, as duplicate services (like cleanings and fluoride treatments) are only covered by insurance or Medicaid providers once every 6 months and parents could end up being billed by the coverage provider for the cost.
