No School for Students Until Wednesday

Good afternoon, families! We hope that all of you are enjoying the holiday weekend. This is just a reminder that, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, students will not report for school tomorrow.

 

Additionally, students will not report to school on Tuesday, January 21; it is a teacher workday to mark the end of our second academic quarter. We look forward to seeing all of our Sailors back in the building on Wednesday!

 

 

Black History Month

As you may know, our school theme at Scotts Ridge Elementary for the 24-25 year is “Anchored in Apex.” As part of our efforts to highlight diverse experiences and achievements, we are seeking Black community members from Apex to share their life and career journeys with our students for Black History Month. Your story has the power to motivate and encourage young minds and show them the limitless possibilities for their future. Whether through sharing pivotal moments, lessons learned, or the passion that drives your career, your perspective would be invaluable to our students. You may participate in one of three ways: by emailing your answers to student interview questions to be read by students on the morning news, by scheduling an in person interview with the news crew on a Tuesday or Thursday morning, or by submitting a video recording of your answers to interview questions that we can air on the morning news. If interested, please email Mrs. Townsend at mmtownsend@wcpss.net by this Friday, January 24th for further details. Thank you for considering this opportunity to inspire and uplift our students. Your journey matters, and we would love for you to be part of our Black History Month events at SRE.

2024-2025 Yearbook Sales

Yearbooks will be sold through a pre-sale again this year. The final purchase deadline is April 15; however, purchasing sooner, rather than later is helpful. Purchased yearbooks will be distributed in May 2025.

 

Keep an eye out for Strawbridge flyers sent home in Friday folders! Please note that while school portraits are through Lifetouch, yearbooks will still be purchased through Strawbridge. Yearbooks can be purchased online only at www.strawbridge.net using the online code:  YB31508

 

Second Spirit Rock (NEW) Class Gift of the 2024 5th-Grade Class!!!

Thanks to our amazing 5th grade class from last year and the very hard work of an amazing parent, we have a second Spirit Rock as the class gift. We also want to give a shoutout and big thank you to the rock company who donated the rock, RDU Rock Quarry! We also want to thank Forever Clean for being willing to haul the rock for us. The class gift money went to all things with the rock that wasn't donated. This is in the carpool lane near the front of the school. We have a new sign-up for that for the second half of the year! We are very excited.
