Ship Notes 03/09/2025

 

 

Sailors and family members, pack your bags! INTERNATIONAL NIGHT is this Thursday, March 13th, and we invite you to set sail on a wonderful adventure here at Scotts Ridge from 5:30 – 7:00 PM. As you enter, you will receive your passport, which will serve as your map. Your passport will help you navigate the building and track where you have visited. Enjoy delicious food, live performances, guest readers, crafts and activities, and SO MUCH MORE.

 

We need volunteers to help at the food tables during the event, please sign up right here. We could not do this without our great parents' support!

Regular School Day

March 14

 

This is just a reminder that Friday, March 14 is now a regular instructional day; students will report to school. Old WCPSS calendars will show that it is a teacher workday, but the district is now using it as a weather make-up day. See you then, Sailors!

 

 

Severe Weather Drill Completed

 

The National Weather Service invites school communities to promote severe weather safety annually during Severe Weather Preparedness Week, recognized from March 2-8 in North Carolina. At Scotts Ridge, we held our annual severe weather drill on Tuesday, shortly after 2:00. The drill lasted about five minutes. Our students and staff followed all procedures very well. We are always looking for ways to transition students to designated safe spaces as quickly as possible.
