Congratulations! Raider Robotics won the “Judges Choice” award at the competition in Charlottesville the week of November 25, 2024.
This award recognizes a team whose “unique efforts, performance, or dynamics merit recognition but does not fall into the traditional awards category.” Raider robotics were recognized for their “commitment to travel the distance to Charlottesville and their willingness to assist other teams throughout the competition.”

Dear Families and Division Employees,
As we have returned to school following the impact of Hurricane Helene and will begin our 2nd nine weeks on October 7, 2024, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your resilience during this challenging time. We are truly blessed in Norton, and I’m reminded of the strength and positivity our community has shown.
I’d like to offer a special thanks to our emergency workers within the city whose dedication kept us safe, and to our incredible school employees—especially our food service and custodial teams—who ensured that students received meals and that our schools were kept secure during the storm.
Your continued support is deeply appreciated as we move forward together. Let’s remain positive and focus on the blessings we share as a community. #RaiderStrong
REMINDER: Early Dismissal October 4, 2024 @ 12:30 for students.
Sincerely,
