EOG Scores (Grades 3-5)

Please check your child’s folder for details about their performance on the EOGs. For students not meeting proficiency, an option for Remediation and Retesting will be indicated in the letter. Please contact your child’s teacher with any questions or Megan Ryan, Testing Coordinator mryan2@wcpss.net 

 

More information about EOG scores can be found on this NC Department of Public Instruction website. 

 

Chromebooks!

All 5^th grade students will be required to turn in their WCPSS Chromebook and charger at the end of the school year. If going to a WCPSS middle school, they will receive a new device upon their start of school. These devices will be collected on Tuesday, May 20th. If your child is in 3^rd or 4^th grade and does not plan to return to a WCPSS school for the 2025-2026 school year, they should plan to turn in their device as well. Third and fourth grade students transferring to another WCPSS school who have a device need to take that device and charger with them to their new school.
