CHOCOWINITY, N.C. (WNCT) — Teachers and staff members at Chocowinity Primary School are preparing for more students next year after the closure of Snowden Elementary School.
They are already welcoming new students and their families to their new school with an open house.
This comes after the Beaufort County Board of Education voted to close Snowden. Teachers and other staff at Chocowinity Primary said they are aware of how big of a change this will be. They are also confident both students and parents will feel at home at Chocowinity Primary.
'It's going to be new, it's going to be different,' Chocowinity Primary School First-Grade Teacher Jessie Jordan saidI hope that they are looking forward to having their children meet new friends.'
'We work hard but we love hard too, so the students are going to be just fine,' Chocowinity Primary School Principal Lynn Whittington said. 'The parents, we can't wait to have parent involvement and engagement from the parents as well and just do what's best for those kids.'
Whittington said they're making adjustments to classes to accommodate more students but for the most part, everything else is expected to stay the same.
Leaders at Chocowinity Middle School said they plan to have similar meetings soon.
