Updates for this week:

Fifth-Grade Promotion Ceremony:  As was the case with our track 1 flyers, we will hold a promotion ceremony for 5^th grade, track 4.  It is scheduled for June 26^th at 9:30 a.m.  Parents are invited to join us in the gym for this special occasion.  Light refreshments of cookies and punch, courtesy of our PTA, will be served directly after the ceremony.  Please refrain from brining in helium balloons into the building as a means of celebration.  These interfere with our alarm/sprinkler sensors.

2025-2026 Bus Transportation: The transportation portal is now available to request bus service for the upcoming school year.  You should have received an email directly from transportation if your child currently has bus service this year.  You may find further information and the registration form here.

PTA Reflections Committee 2025-2026:  The Reflections Program is a National PTA initiative that encourages students to explore their creativity through the arts in categories like dance, film, literature, music, photography, and visual arts. The 2025–2026 theme is "I belong." It's a powerful opportunity for students to express themselves and be recognized for their artistic talents.

We’re excited to bring Reflections to our school this year and are putting together a Reflections Committee to help make it a success. We need parent volunteers to help with planning, promotion, and organizing entries. We already have an excellent parent volunteer to lead the program but would need 3-5 parent volunteers to form the reflections committee. If you’re passionate about the arts or simply want to support student expression, we’d love for you to join us! 

EOGs:  For the 2024-2025 school year, students in 5th grade will get their science test scores later than usual. This delay is because the state is using a new test. When this happens, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction needs extra time to decide how to score the test and what scores match each level (Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5). This happens whenever the science curriculum changes.
