The N.C. Department of Public Instruction launched a new website in early December. Please update your bookmarks to reflect the new website address - dpi.nc.gov. Those who use our old website address will be automatically redirected to the new website. Schools and/or districts should review internal documents and update any printed or online information that reference the old NCDPI website address - www.ncpublicschools.org - and update it with the new address. 

To help you navigate the new website, we’re providing directions on how to access some of the most popular content.
