Helllloooooo Reynolds Families,
This will be my second to last hello of the semester and our last monthly update. It has been a fantastic year full of fun. I have been grateful to be the CC for the hall this year and I cannot wait to see our rising seniors in the fall. However before we make it to the end we have one more month of fun to look forward to. Check out our hall website for photos of the smores and tie dyes of April!. In May we will be having more fun as one modular with THREE community coordinators. Macy Goodson is the new CC for 1C2C1D that has come in to join the fun. We will be welcoming Macy with the eno river, capture the flag, strawberry picking, and more. Until then, as usual, stay tuned for some more VERY important updates.
May
End of Year on Hall:
We will be having a Reynolds Field Day, our first one yet. We will have parachutes, water blasters, giant uno, and more! We will also be having a small graduation party to say goodbye to our seniors. Check out our hall calendar to see all the plans we have in store.
UNC Tuition Grant Application
“As a reminder, all eligible NCSSM Residential graduates immediately enrolling in a constituent institution of the University of North Carolina may apply for the UNC Tuition Grant beginning with the Class of 2021 and continuing until further notice from the North Carolina General Assembly. This program is an incredible opportunity for NCSSM graduates to remain in North Carolina and earn an undergraduate degree from one of the best public university systems in the nation at a significantly reduced out-of-pocket cost.
If you are planning on attending a UNC System school, please read this step-by-step guide. Remember, your application MUST be completed and submitted by 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2025.”
Move Out
“Juniors must submit the following form to indicate whether or not they intend to move out of their residence hall on Wednesday, May 21 OR Friday, May 23. Juniors who do NOT wish to participate in Commencement exercises must move out of their residence hall and check out with their CC between 1:00pm and 5:00pm on Wednesday, May 21. Juniors who wish to remain on campus after exams to participate in end-of-year activities and Commencement exercises must move out of their residence hall and check out with their CC prior to 2:00pm on Friday, May 23.
Seniors must move out of their residence hall and check out with their CC prior to 2:00pm on Friday, May 23.
During the week leading up to move out, students will have specific tasks to complete each day to ensure that they will be ready on the day they move out. The Final Week Checklist will be posted on the door of each room and will be checked each night by their CC. Please note that students will NOT be permitted to attend hall or campus events until their CC confirms that all tasks have been completed.
Once a student is ready to check out, their CC will stop by their room and confirm that they have properly followed all Checkout Procedures. Please note that the student and a legal guardian will both need to be present to sign the Room Condition Report to complete the checkout process. Once all checkout procedures have been completed, the student will immediately leave campus. Students who check out prior to Friday, May 23 may return to campus for the Commencement ceremony ONLY and should not return to campus for any other reason.
Mod 2 will be following the move out sign ups. I will be using this sign up as a guide. Those who are signed up for a time and are not ready will forfeit their spot and I will move on to the next person in line. Please make sure your room is ready to go and fully cleaned. All furniture should be moved to ensure everything has been cleaned. All trash should be thrown out by each person as the hall trash cans will be unavailable. Move out can be a very stressful time so make sure you get ahead of it. If you have any questions, please reach out to me!
Modular 2 sign ups for move out can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1q5gw3sMTldjX0-VgilqQpA0wA7QWR7cP4Mu90YKvb4A/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Senior Dessert
“Class of 2025, you have put in an impressive amount of work these past two years and SAB has put together a special celebration to honor that! Join us on Friday, May 16th at 7:00PM on Bryan Lawn to celebrate the end of your NCSSM journey From Zoom to Bloom!
We hope you'll take the time to come out and dress up (dressy casual attire), enjoy some sweet treats, and appreciate the company of your classmates before commencement.”
“Students who remain on campus May 21 & 22 are invited to enjoy a two day end-of-year celebration that will feature an outdoor field day, glow-in-the-dark kickball, an inflatable water slide, a bounce house, food trucks, sweet treats, and one last Hill Street block party! Please encourage your student to attend these events to help say goodbye to the Class of 2025 and to close out a great school year!”
Commencement
“Please join us as we graduate our 44th class of residential students on Friday, May 23rd at 9:00am on Watts Lawn. The ceremony is open to NCSSM seniors and their families. We welcome the junior class to participate in Commencement, though junior attendance is not mandatory. No tickets are required UNLESS inclement weather necessitates moving indoors. If Commencement is moved indoors, each senior will receive 4 wristbands: 2 wristbands for guests to attend Commencement in the Charles Eilber Physical Education Center (PEC), and 2 wristbands for guests to watch the Commencement livestream in locations around campus: the Auditorium, Lecture Hall, and Music Suite. If the ceremony is moved indoors, juniors (outside of Marshals and those performing music) will not participate in the ceremony and will move out of their rooms. Juniors and their families will be able to view livestream of Commencement from off campus. As a reminder, all students must move out of their residence hall rooms and check out with their CC no later than 2 p.m. on Commencement day. The entire event will be livestreamed on the NCSSM YouTube Channel. For more information about Commencement please visit: https://www.ncssm.edu/commencement”
