NC School Heros

 

The North Carolina Education Lottery's NC School Heroes program provides North Carolina residents with the opportunity to celebrate the educators and school employees who impact the lives of our students every day. Through a voting and judging process, the contest will reward 10 deserving NC School Heroes, their affiliated K–12 public schools, and their nominators with cash prizes. Click here to nominate one of the Bulldog staff. 

Kindergarten Registration

 

It is hard to believe but we are already thinking about next year. It is time to register your Kindergartner for school. If they are turning 5 on or before August 31st please go ahead and get them registered. This helps us prepare for next year. We have information on our website or you can use this link. 

 

Lunch Applications

 

WCPSS Child Nutrition Services wants families to know that they can apply online to qualify for free and reduced-price school meals.

 

Families who have a student receiving meals benefits from the 2018-19 school year need to know that those benefits will expire soon. 

 

Please find information that best describes your child’s school and you will find the date that benefits expired on October 8th.  Families can reapply or apply for the first time. The process is easy. Applications can be completed online.

 

Families can go online to www.wcpss.net/meals to determine if their students qualify and to complete the online application. Families will find information about the application, frequently asked questions and the online application.

 

Families may also visit their school where paper applications will be available.

  

WCPSS Child Nutrition Services wants to make sure all qualified families enroll for free and reduced-price meals.

5th Grade Parent Meeting

 

The fifth grade Camp Hanes and Human Growth and Development meeting has been rescheduled due to elections being held on campus that night.  The new date is THURSDAY, MARCH 5th at 5:30 in the media center. Packing lists and rules will be discussed. It is strongly encouraged all chaperones attend.  Due to the sensitivity of the content discussed in Human Growth and Development, children should not attend this meeting. Students will get Camp information during class.

 

Canned Food Drive

 

Briarcliff Student Council is hosting a canned food drive through the end of February. The food we collect will go to The Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. Did you know that they not only support families in need but also support disaster relief efforts in NC. Students may drop off non-perishable food items in the designated boxes in the main hallway. 

 

NO Drop Off on Pond Street

 

Thank you to parents who have seen my email and stopped dropping off on Pond Street. If you are still dropping off here, even when you see staff, we are asking you to please STOP! There is only one place to drop off and pick up students. Please consider the message it sends to our students when the adults are not following procedures.
