I apologize for sending Tuesday’s message out a day early regarding school progress reports released by the district.

All students wishing to take any AP exam in May will need to go to the online registration site (Total Registration) by March 11 to register.

Does your senior want to attend college but feels that college is unattainable based on financial reasons or because grades are not as high as they should be? College Round-Up is a wonderful opportunity for seniors to meet with over 30 college representatives who will make every effort to assist with applications and the financial aid process needed to attend their institution. This will take place on March 14 at 8am at Edgecombe Community College in Tarboro. If you are interested in attending, please have your senior pick up an application in Student Services by March 7.
Remember it’s all about the W! Enjoy the rest of your day, and let’s have an amazing week. Goodbye.
