Please check Powerschool weekly
One of the most important things you can do to support your middle schooler is to check Powerschool weekly for grades and attendance. We encourage you to set a weekly appointment with your student and look at it together. As a reminder, parents can also set up their own Powerschool account. Here is a quick Powerschool tutorial. Each grade level is also sending the 4 step directions via Talking Points this week.

Early College and Magnet High School Applications
There will be an Early College Mini-Fair on November 7th at Zebulon Middle School. This is the last opportunity to talk to representatives from all Early College High Schools at the same time. You are encouraged to check each school’s website for opportunities to attend their own Open House or Tour to learn more detailed information. Mrs. Winters will continue meeting with individual students interested in applying to help. Students are encouraged to begin their application and essays no later than November 24th so teachers and counselors will have time to write letters of recommendation.

Afternoon Dismissal/ Carpool
We have implemented a new afternoon dismissal process. Students are assigned to a dismissal classroom/ space based on their mode of transportation (bus route number) and wait until they are called to walk down with a staff member. Students who are picked up through carpool are being escorted down once we have loaded some of our bus routes. This new process has helped in creating a safer dismissal process. We are asking for families who pick up their students through carpool to review the map to help with navigating through the parking lot to ensure a safe and expedited process. Thank you for everyone’s patience and understanding.
