Student of the Week | The student of the week is Jamar Collins. This is what was written by the nominating person.

Jamar has always been kind and a pleasant young man to interact with, but he was out quite a bit during first quarter which impacted his academic performance in all classes. All of his teachers stated in their own words the same sentiments. I am including one here. "I am proud to say that Jamar has really stepped up since the beginning of quarter 2. He has been at school every day, interacting with me and his classmates. He has completed all of his assignments and has stepped up as a leader during group projects. Not only has Jamar stayed current on all his assignments, he also completed his ARP assignments well ahead of schedule (before Thanksgiving break!). Again, I am so proud of him and can only hope that he is proud of himself!"

Senior Messages of Thanks! | Before we know it, we will be preparing for graduation! Part of what makes that road to graduation so special is that we can often see an individual student and know the successes and recoveries along their journey. We also know that for each one, their journey and their outlook on what's possible on the other side of the graduation stage would be much different if not for that one special individual who invested time and care into that student's journey. As the Class of 2022 approaches the finish line, WCPSS would like to provide them with an opportunity to celebrate that individual.

Seniors are asked to complete this form: https://bit.ly/Classof2022Celebrates. This form will give the student the opportunity to share an individual that has been important to them and why. They can identify individuals from elementary, middle or high ... teachers, administrators, counselors, or others. Our goal is to collect these through December 23. During the spring semester, the WCPSS High School Team will work to compile as many of those responses as possible and turn them into messages sent to the individual the student identifies.

Title 1 Information
Greetings East Wake Parents, as we promised we have Title 1 specific documents and information to share with you this week:

It is vital that all parents apply for free/reduced lunch even if your student does not eat it. Our school’s Title 1 funds help all our students even those that don’t qualify for free and reduced lunch and we as a school depend on it.

Through August 31, all students may receive meals at no cost. Beginning September 1, students will pay for meals based on their meal benefits eligibility. Applications can be completed online at www.MySchoolApps.com, or a paper application can be requested by calling 919-588-3535. Students eligible for reduced-price meals will receive their breakfast and lunch at no cost for the 2020-21 school year.

All Title I Parent and Family Engagement information is in English and Spanish on the East Wake High School Homepage under the tab, ‘OUR SCHOOL’ within the subtitle Title 1 and F.A.C.E Center. (F. A.C.E. stands for Family and Community Engagement).

Those documents are as follows:
- Title 1 & F.A.C.E Center PowerPoint
- The Home-School Compact which has a Google Form Attached, please filled out this form after you review the document.
- A Feedback Form that we are asking you to fill out so that we can support you and your family
- Title 1 District Letter
- Wake County Board Policy 3560
- Special Message from our Principal Mr. Alston
