Remote Classroom Sessions and Registration:

• Assignment emails for the February classroom sessions have been sent. March and April classroom sessions will be sent in the next few weeks. Reply expectations are clearly noted as are payment dates; the courtesy of a reply is requested even if you are no longer interested/available.
• If people decline or change their plans, they will move to the subsequent month’s roster to give older students the option to move to an earlier session. 
• Any registration forms submitted for now will be considered for placement.  Registration forms DO NOT carry over to summer registration, which is usually announced around spring break. 
• Students are placed in a class based on age, oldest to youngest.
• There is a wait of 3-4 months at least, possibly more for Behind the wheel.
• Should you decide to drive privately, it will be self-funded and paperwork can be requested by your driving school from JDS per directions here:  In-Out-Transfers

 

Behind-the-Wheel:  

Driver instructors receive new rosters at the end of a month to schedule/drive the following month.

• Currently, students are being assigned to drive in July and August. Drivers instructors are still being shared across the county. 
• Each driver has been trained on safety protocols and has specific directions to follow that are not negotiable. This process will require patience. 
• Once BTW concludes, the driver will issue a Certificate of Completion.  Please review it carefully for correct spelling and all other information.
• Then, students need to request a Driver Eligibility Certificate (DEC) from the student services office.

EOC & Selected CTE Post-Assessments Exams | The school will administer End-of-Course (EOC) tests or a CTE Post-Assessments on January 11 - January 14, please continue to read below.  

 

The EOCs are Biology, English 2, Math 1, & Math 3.  The CTE Post-Assessments are Career Management, Foods I, Foods II, Child Development, Automotive Services, Principle of Business & Finance, Foundations of Health Science, Health Science I, Equine I, Principle of Family & Human Services, Project Management, and Hospitality & Tourism.

 

These assessments are in-person and will require your student to report to the school. Please review the testing message above within the document.

 

WCPSS HS Exam Guidance | As we continue to seek avenues to best support students in these unique times, WCPSS will be using the flexibility that the state has given to all districts to amend the grading structure for state exams.  Specifically, for End-of-Course (EOC) and CTE Post Assessments, we will incorporate the following into our scoring plan:

• Minimum Score of 60.  The grading scale for state assessments will include a minimum possible score of “60.”  The goal of this change is to ensure that no student fails the course as a direct result of their score on the exam.

• Exam Score Only Improves Course Average.  If a student’s score on the state exam is lower than the combined average of Quarter 1 and Quarter 2, the student’s exam score will be curved to equal their course average.  For example, if a student has an “80” average for the course prior to the exam, then their lowest possible exam score is an “80,” but they will keep any score higher than an “80.”  It is important to note that the score is curved for the purpose of calculating the course average.  The original EOC scale score, achievement level, and percentile will be reflected on the student transcript.

 

Students who do not test and have not submitted a medical exemption will receive an Incomplete (INC) for the course.

 

All students are strongly encouraged to take their exams and do their best.  The exam is an opportunity to share what students have learned.  Our hope is that the scoring structure described below allows students to do just that!

 

Spring 2021 Schedule Updates | Our staff will begin making adjustments to our upcoming spring semester schedule over the course of the next week. As these changes are made in PowerSchool, students will be able to see these updates in real-time. Courses, teachers, and periods may all change from what is currently posted, possibly multiple times as course enrollments are finalized and class sizes are balanced to meet current social distancing guidelines for our classrooms. These schedule changes are necessary, due in part, to our updated spring Virtual Academy/Rotation plans that each student indicated earlier this semester. The window to request to be in our Virtual Academy or assigned to our rotation model has now closed. In early January, each non-virtual Academy student will be assigned a cohort, and more detailed information about our spring semester return to campus plans will be shared. 

 

Spring 2021 Student Parking Information | WCPSS is waiving student parking fees as long as the district remains in Plan B or C.  Students that are eligible to receive a parking tag will be issued their regular assigned park with a temporary parking space number on the back of it.  We will continue with our normal registration procedures for issuing parking tags (complete the form).  The school will begin collecting parking forms next week as students report to school.  Students will be required to come with copies of all documentation.

Fall Semester Exam Schedule | Students should follow the EWHS Fall Semester exam schedule.  For specific questions and information, students and parents should contact their student’s teacher.  Please note that teacher-made exams will begin on Thursday, January 7.

 

EOC & Selected CTE Post-Assessments Exams | The school will administer End-of-Course (EOC) tests or a CTE Post-Assessments on January 11 - January 14.

These assessments are in-person and will require your student to report to the school. Your child’s teacher will notify your student which day this should report to school. Bus transportation will be provided if needed for students on their respective testing day(s).  Bus routes will be posted by Friday, January 8. Students who are assigned can also see stop information in their individual power school accounts. Breakfast and lunch will be provided, free of charge. Student drivers will be able to park on campus without a tag, free of charge during exam week. Please be on time for exams.  For information on how state exam scores will be factored into your child’s final grade, please see this link in this message.  The week of January 11, there will be new protocols for everyone. We ask students to remain in the vehicle until told to exit for those coming through the carpool.  Students in carpool will be screened while in the vehicle.  Please be patient as we work through this new process.  Expect delays, so arrive early to be on time. Students riding the bus will enter the atrium building, where individuals enter the building for the auditorium and gym where they will be screened.

 

If you have concerns about sending your student to the school for in-person testing, please complete this form.  The form will close at midnight on Monday, January 4, to allow the school time to make testing adjustments. The information provided will assist the school in determining if they can accommodate your request.

 

WCPSS HS Exam Guidance | As we continue to seek avenues to best support students in these unique times, WCPSS will be using the flexibility that the state has given to all districts to amend the grading structure for state exams.  Specifically, for End-of-Course (EOC) and CTE Post Assessments, we will incorporate the following into our scoring plan:

• Minimum Score of 60. The grading scale for state assessments will include a minimum possible score of “60.”  This change aims to ensure that no student fails the course as a direct result of their score on the exam.
• Exam Score Only Improves Course Average.  If a student’s score on the state exam is lower than the combined average of Quarter 1 and Quarter 2, the student’s exam score will be curved to equal their course average.  For example, if a student has an “80” average for the course prior to the exam, then their lowest possible exam score is an “80,” but they will keep any score higher than an “80.”  It is important to note that the score is curved for the purpose of calculating the course average.  The original EOC scale score, achievement level, and percentile will be reflected on the student transcript.

  

Students who do not test and have not submitted a medical exemption will receive an Incomplete (INC) for the course.

 

All students are strongly encouraged to take their exam(s) and do their best.  The exam is an opportunity to share what students have learned.  We hope that the scoring structure described above allows students to do just that!

Spring 2021 Schedule Updates | Our staff will begin making adjustments to our upcoming spring semester schedule over the course of the next week. As these changes are made in PowerSchool, students will be able to see these updates in real-time. Courses, teachers, and periods may all change from what is currently posted, possibly multiple times as course enrollments are finalized and class sizes are balanced to meet current social distancing guidelines for our classrooms. These schedule changes are necessary, due in part to our updated spring Virtual Academy/Rotation plans that each student indicated earlier this semester. The window to request to be in our Virtual Academy or assigned to our rotation model has now closed. In early January, each non-virtual academy student will be assigned a cohort and more detailed information about our spring semester return to campus plans will be shared.

East Wake High School Required TSI-CU Notification | North Carolina's Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) State Plan identifies schools for targeted support and improvement when schools have student subgroup(s) that are consistently underperforming.  Schools with one or more subgroups receiving an 'F' letter grade in the accountability system for the most recent and previous two years are identified as Targeted Support and Improvement-Consistently Underperforming (TSI-CU). Identified annually, TSI-CU schools exit this identification if the identified subgroup(s) receives at least the grade of ‘D’ for the most recent and previous year’s score. 

 

The 2019–20 TSI-CU list, uses 2017–18 and 2018–19 data to identify schools with consistently underperforming subgroup(s). There are 1,464 schools identified on the 2019–20 list. TSI-CU schools receive support from the local school district.

EWHS Yearbook Deadlines for Senior Year | Yearbook information is below for seniors.  For questions, individuals should contact Ms. Anderson at landerson@wcpss.net in Room 2313.  You can follow our yearbook at @YearbookEWHS (Twitter and Instagram). 

 

Please read the following information regarding deadlines and pictures for the yearbook this year. You will find information on photos, ads, and yearbook pricing and where you can go to purchase at Jostens. Please don't wait until the end, as last year, we did sell out, and many students were unable to receive ad space or purchase a yearbook.

 

Please note, Recognition Ads are a separate purchase from the yearbook. All seniors can turn in ONE baby picture for no charge, but that is a separate page containing ALL senior baby pictures. Senior Quotes this year will depend on the students' submissions. For additional information, visit EWHS Senior Yearbook Information.
