Please Complete Panorama Family Survey

Today is the last day to complete the survey! Please help us out. More data=better decisions. 

Wake County Public Schools is administering a District Wide Family Survey from Monday, April 8 through Friday, May 17. This survey provides families the opportunity to provide valuable feedback, and it is a high-quality data source for school planning and School Improvement. Please help us by completing the survey online. A high response rate makes the data much more meaningful. The survey should take approximately 7 minutes to complete.

First-Grade Musical

Congratulations to all of our first-grade performers for their amazing musical on Thursday night! It is unbelievable what they can do at such a young age under the guidance of the talented Mrs. Weber, our music teacher. We were thrilled to see so many families enjoying the show.

 

Field Day

Field Day was a blast! A huge thank you to Mrs. Townsend, all the specialists, the PTA, and all our volunteers for making this possible.

 

2023-24 Scotts Ridge EOG Schedule

Our staff is working very hard to help all students do their best on end-of-grade tests. We want to help all students feel proud of their efforts and growth. Please help your children by ensuring that they are at school on time every day, but especially on testing days. If students arrive late on a testing day, they will not be allowed to test with their peers. They will need to test with another staff member in a less familiar setting. This does not always lead to students performing to their full potential.

EOG Remediation and Readministration

Students in grades 3-5 will take the EOG/ EOC State Test at the end of this school year.  Should your child meet the criteria for our EOG/ EOC Remediation and Readministration program, you will receive an invitation for your child to attend the program after the EOG/ EOC testing window closes for our school on June 12.  For your planning purposes, the program dates for the end of the school year are June 13 and June 14. Transportation will be provided, and breakfast and lunch will be available.

 

The Fine Print . . .

*Remediation and readministration will be available for reading in grades four and five.

*Remediation and readministration will be available for math in grades three, four, and five.

*Only students who meet the criteria will be invited.

*It is recommended for those who are invited, but it is not mandatory.

*Most families prefer to pick up their children as soon as the test is complete because there are no activities planned after testing is complete.

*More information will be provided to families with children participating.
