ALERT!! Carpool Families!  https://www.wcpss.net/Page/45922 

Neighborhood Request: Please be sure not to block driveways and stay to the side of the road to allow cars to pass through when waiting in the carpool line. I appreciate your understanding of our neighborhood community.

 

PME Request: Please review the carpool procedures. We have received complaints that our wonderful families are not following the guidelines. Please wait in line on Boylan (do not go around the line) and follow the correct route (Wills Forest to Boylan). The procedures were put in place with input from the City of Raleigh PD to ensure the safety of all carpoolers.

Boosterthon Fun Run | Save the Dates!

We are excited to introduce this year's primary fundraiser, the Partnership Elementary Fun Run. We aim to raise $20,000 to enhance classroom support, such as science kits and interactive learning subscriptions, new library furniture, and Responsive Classroom training for teachers, to benefit ALL students at Partnership Elementary.

 

We're excited about this fundraising experience because it offers three essentials to our school community:

     1️⃣ User-friendly fundraising platform

     2️⃣ Character enrichment program

     3️⃣ Fitness-focused events that include ALL of our students

 

You will work together as a family, asking friends and family to donate on your student's donation page at MyBooster.com. The best part is that you can still support our school just by SHARING about the fundraiser!

 

Students will also experience a fantastic character enrichment program called Castle Quest, which teaches students how to be brave and live with character.
