Healthful Living/Health and PE Permission Form

DLAs, students you have enrolled in NCVPS's Healthful Living 9 week course or the Health and PE Course 18 week block course need to have their parent's permission as the course contains "Human Sexual Content." Completing this form is a requirement of DPI. Although you have registered your student(s) for the course, s/he (they) will not be put into the course until you have submitted the Parental Permission form.

You can fax this form to 919-513-2557, photocopy the form to Tammy Pearson at tpearson@dpi.state.nc.us, or you can snail mail the form to Tammy Pearson, NCVPS 1017 Main Campus Drive Partners I Building -Room # 1610, Raleigh, NC 27606

Please, make sure if you email the form to the parents of the students whom you have enrolled that they are aware that you have emailed them the form. This past semester the emailed form to the parent went into the parent's spam of her email account. It was by accident that this situation was discovered.

Pilot Course - Russian I

NCVPS is offering Russian I as a pilot in the fall and we would really like to get the word out to your principals and students. We have found quite a few Russian speaking families throughout NC who would like for their children to learn the language. Please see the flyer below for promoting the course and also there are 2 spreadsheets that detail the number of Russian speaking families identified in your counties. Please review those for more information.

If you would like to more information on our Russian I course, please contact roman.bouchev@ncmail.net.
