Family Marathon Friday!

You can find all the latest details here. Student safety is always our priority, so we want to emphasize the importance of signing out your children from the gym after the race. PLEASE do not leave with your children after the race unless you have signed them out from the gym. We appreciate your support and understanding.

 

Spring Pictures and Classroom Group Pictures: March 21st

All SRE classes will have their classroom group pictures taken on March 21st. Classroom group photos are prepay only. Please see online ordering information here.  All students will also have their individual photos taken and a proof package will be sent home in 3-4 weeks with information on how to order the individual photos. 

 

2022-2023 Spring Fling Silent Auction Has Started!

ID Required for All Visitors

It is a WCPSS expectation that all visitors to schools are asked to show identification every time they visit the school - even if our staff recognize you. This is for the safety of your children and our staff. We have hundreds of guests in our building each year, and it is not reasonable to expect that our office staff will know everyone. It is also not equitable to ask one person to show identification and not another. When parents see office staff members let adults in without checking their identification, it causes some to be concerned about the safety of their children. No matter how often you visit the school, please be kind and considerate of our office staff when you are asked to show your identification. We are happy to see you, and you are welcome here! Showing your identification will only take a few seconds. We appreciate your understanding.

 

No Student Drop-Off on Apex Barbecue Road

An Apex police officer shared with us that there are a few parents dropping students off on both sides of Apex Barbecue Road. This is dangerous for students and blocks traffic. Please use the bus, carpool, or walk.
