Help Us Thank Our Teachers

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6-11. PTA needs your help to celebrate our wonderful Buccaneer staff and show them our appreciation! Help us make Tasty Tuesday (5/7) a real treat. Use the Sign-Up Genius link to sign up to bring an item for our staff to enjoy. Write your favorite teacher a note to let them know how important they are on Thoughtful Thursday (5/10)!

 

School Holiday

Universal Application for PreK Services Now Open

Do you have a child who will be 4 years old by August 31, 2024 and is a Wake County resident?  If so, consider applying for Wake Pre-K through the Universal Application. The Wake Pre-K application allows consideration for free, safe, and fun Pre-K program options.

 

Participating programs include NC Pre-Kindergarten (NC Pre-K), WCPSS Title I, and Telamon Head Start.  To learn more, visit the Wake Pre-K Application Center.

 

Enrollment into the Wake County Public School System Title I Pre-K program is based on the academic need of the child. NC Pre-K and Head Start are prioritized for families with low incomes and other related eligibility requirements. When your application is processed, your child will be considered for the program that best matches your family based on the criteria.

 

Does that sound like it may benefit your child? Apply today!
