Carteret County NC Pre-K Rated License Cohort Schedule: Along with being the principal of Carteret Preschool Center, you are also the NC Pre-K Coordinator for Carteret County Public Schools. Today, you asked for the rated license cohort schedule for NC Pre-K facilities in Carteret County. The cohort schedule is below: Cohort 1 (Prep Year July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024) (Assessment Mandatory July 1, 2024-June 30, 2025) • Bogue Sound Elementary Pre-K • Atlantic Elementary School Pre-K • Morehead Primary Preschool • Beaufort Elementary Preschool • White Oak Elementary School • Beaufort Child Development Center Cohort 2 (Prep Year July 1, 2024-June 30, 2025) (Assessment Mandatory July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026) • Smyrna Elementary Preschool • Carteret Preschool Lead and Asbestos testing: Facilities must enroll with Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids program to have your water tested for lead and your building tested for lead and asbestos hazards before May 1, 2024. State funds for mitigation are available through 2026, however, funds are limited so we recommend enrolling as soon as possible. You can work through the program in the way that works best for your facility. A few tips: • All three section enrollment surveys (lead in water, lead-based paint, and asbestos) must be completed by May 1, 2024 • Work on the enrollment surveys one section at a time to prevent duplicate data entry • Complete the enrollment for the asbestos section and the lead-based-paint section close together. They have similar questions, and if onsite visits are needed, they can be coordinated across these two program sections. • You can enroll multiple facilities from your dashboard by selecting “Enroll a New Facility”. The information above is from https://www.cleanwaterforuskids.org/en/carolina/, which is also where you enroll in the program. Provider Access to the Background Check Management System: This access will allow providers to: • See applicants that associate themselves with their facility and allow them to “hire” the applicant to their roster • See the real-time background check status of staff members • Run a printable report of the staff roster to assist with compliance visits To gain access to the Provider Portal complete the ABCMS Child Care Provider Portal Training on DCDEE's Moodle. The training consists of watching a short video then taking a test about the video. A certificate will be issued upon successful completion of the test. Email the certificate along with your full name, position, and Facility ID to DCDEE_ABCMS_Provider@dhhs.nc.gov to get access to the portal. We will grant your access within 2 business days. Please do not use this email account to ask background check questions. If you have general questions, please continue to use DHHS.CBC.Unit@dhhs.nc.gov. Updated COVID and Flu Vaccines: As seasonal respiratory illnesses surge, NCDHHS is urging people to get tested and seek treatment early to prevent severe illness. The latest data show high numbers of people being seen in hospital emergency departments with respiratory illness symptoms across North Carolina. People with mild symptoms should seek testing and treatment from their regular health care provider, urgent care, or a telehealth provider, rather than going to the emergency department during this spike in COVID-19, flu, RSV, and other respiratory illnesses. In addition to testing and treatment, flu and COVID-19 vaccinations are readily available at pharmacies, private medical offices and some federally qualified health care centers and local health departments. Go to vaccines.gov today to find a vaccine location near you.
