For the nearly 100,000 Wake County Public School System students attending traditional calendar schools, August 26 will be something new and different. It will be their first early dismissal Wednesday.
Across the Wake County Public School System for the first time this school year, all schools are releasing students one hour early on Wednesdays to provide teachers time for professional learning team meetings. Teachers use this time to discuss the needs of individual students and ways to help those students succeed academically.
WCPSS Chief Academic Officer Donna Hargens visited East Cary Middle School to visit with Principal Dixie Frazier and her teachers on Early Dismissal Wednesday.
