Good Evening, Lion Families,

I hope you and your little ones have been having an amazing summer! Below is information you'll want to be aware of as we get closer and closer to August 25th and the start of an awesome new school year. Please review the information below and let me know if you have any questions.Thanks!

1. Enrollment
   • ​​​Please follow the steps HERE to enroll your child into our school. If you have questions, please contact our data manager, Ms. McKinnon, at fmckinnon@wcpss.net. 
2. Required Health Assessment and Vaccinations for Kindergartners
   • ​​​State law requires every child entering public schools in North Carolina for the first time to receive a health assessment. The assessment must occur within 12 months prior to entering school. Your medical provider should provide a completed N.C. Health Assessment Form to the school on or before the child's first day of attendance. N.C. Health Assessment Forms are also available at Wake County schools, area doctors' offices or at the Wake County Health Department.
   • State law requires these vaccinations before a student enters kindergarten.  
   • If you have questions about these requirements for kindergartners, please email Ms. McKinnon at fmckinnon@wcpss.net. ​​​​​​
3. Staggered Entry for Kindergartners 
   • What is Staggered Entry for Kindergartners? 
     • Staggered entry occurs during the first week of school from August 25th - August 27th. During the first week of school, from Monday to Wednesday, your child will attend one full day of school in a small group environment. You will choose which day your child will attend during this time. Staggered entry allows teachers time to assess social, physical, and emotional development, as well as basic literacy and math skills. This information will be used to form class lists and create the most supportive learning environment for your child. Kindergartners will not attend school on Thursday, August 28th or Friday, August 29th. They will attend school every day starting Tuesday, September 2nd.
