Happy Friday, Mountain Lion families. It is hard to believe
but we are getting ready to begin the last week of the first quarter. Students
should check PowerSchool and with their teachers about any missing assignments
that need to be made up prior to the end of the quarter. Report cards will be
distributed to students when we return from break.
All students were given a Millitary Connected Form on Monday, September 11th. We are required to have this on file for every student. We need these forms back by Friday, September 22nd. They can be turned in to
first period teachers.
N.C. General Statute 115C-12(18) requires schools to develop a means to serve the unique needs of students identified as military-connected students. The information you provide will help us to better support military connected students during pivotal times. Your child’s military connected information will be entered into PowerSchool and will be accessible to student support staff. An icon will be present on your child’s PowerSchool record indicating that he or she is military connected. The information gathered by this form will not be placed in your child’s cumulative folder.
N.C. General Statute 115C-12(18) can be found at: www.ncga.state.nc.us/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/PDF/BySection/Chapter_115C/GS_115C-12.pdf
If there is no military connection, please write the student's name and check no on the form.
