OCE Families,

Every year WCPSS creates an annual Family Engagement Survey and I would be grateful for your input in the 23-24 survey, which can be accessed here. This survey will help us continue to improve and be the best school we can be, and your voice matters! Thanks to feedback you provided in previous surveys:

• We increased the amount of curriculum nights and had three curriculum nights to engage families (Math Night, Reading Night, and Science Fair/STEM Night).
• We increased our volunteering opportunities for all classrooms.
• We increased our in-school learning celebrations for students and families in all classrooms.
• We increased our community outreach events and had two family engagement nights for our Cary families.

Field Day on April 17th (tks 1 & 3) & April 24th (tks 2 & 4):
Field Day is rapidly approaching in April and we need parent volunteers! You can register to be a volunteer here.
