Carpenter Families,

We have made it to the final week of the 2023-2024 school year! Thank you all for your support and engagement this year.  Our students have had a successful year in many ways. While it is always sad to say goodbye to a class, I am excited for them as they are continuing their journey and going to experience so many new things in middle school.  Let’s have a great last week together as we celebrate the Class of 2024 tomorrow for Tracks 2-4.

 

2024-2025 Class Lists

All rising 1st-5th grade families should expect a welcome email from their 24-25 classroom teacher on June 28th by 3pm.  Class lists are drafted by classroom teachers and are reviewed by instructional support staff and administrators.  These are well-vetted, final lists.

EOG Remediation and Retesting Information

Students in 3rd-5th grades will take the Reading and Math EOG at the end of this school year. Should your child meet the criteria for our EOG Remediation and Readministration program (proficient in grade level content but not proficient on the EOG), you will receive an invitation for your child to attend the program after the EOG testing window closes. For your planning purposes, the program dates for the end of the school year are June 27 and June 28 (Tracks 2, 3, & 4). Transportation will be provided, and breakfast and lunch will be available. 

 

 If You are Not Returning Next Year

As we prepare for the new school year, it is important to know if your family is expecting a change.  Please let us know if you are moving or not returning to Carpenter next year by emailing Mrs. Krishnamoorthy at ukrishnamoorthy@wcpss.net.
