Dear Public Schools of Robeson County Parents and Guardians, The North Carolina EOG/EOC System is managed by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. While testing this morning, the state experienced a server outage, causing a disruption to testing sites statewide. The outage lasted approximately 40 minutes. Quick corrective action restored the system, allowing around 120,000 students across the state to resume testing. As a result, our students were able to complete their EOG or EOC tests administered today. Our district intends to appeal to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction on behalf of our students. In addition, students have the opportunity to participate in our School Year ReAdministration on June 4 and June 5, 2025, if they are not proficient. Proficiency is scoring a Level 3, 4 or 5. Please reach out to your school’s principal if you have any questions or concerns.

Important Update: PSRC to Transition from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus PSRC May 28, 2025 Dear Parents and Guardians, We would like to inform you about an important change taking place in the Public Schools of Robeson County. The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) is transitioning from the current student information system (SIS), PowerSchool, to a new platform called Infinite Campus. This is a statewide initiative aimed at enhancing the way schools manage student information and communicate with families. The Public Schools of Robeson County is participating in Phase Two of this transition, joining a growing number of districts across North Carolina in adopting this more modern and integrated system. Infinite Campus will support a range of key functions, including student scheduling, attendance, grades, and communication with families. Our dedicated team has been working diligently to ensure that all student data is accurately transferred from PowerSchool into Infinite Campus. While every effort is being made to verify the accuracy of this data, we recognize that some errors may still need to be addressed. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this transition. We are committed to keeping you informed and supported throughout this process. More information and resources about Infinite Campus can be found on the NCDPI website. Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we move forward with the transition to a new Student Information System.

Parents - Please see the schedule for End of the Year Awards.
