DDE Principal's Message -- Week of May 26
Hello Davis Drive Elementary School Families. As a reminder, there is no school on Monday, May 27 in recognition of Memorial Day. Enjoy the extra time with your family. We look forward to seeing our students on Tuesday.
As the end of the school year approaches we extend a very big thank you to the parent volunteers who help throughout the school. It makes s huge difference for our staff and students when parents help with copying and clerical needs for classrooms, assist in the media center, assist with PE activities such as PE testing and field days, help with school photos, create bulletin boards, tutor and read with students, help teachers with miscellaneous tasks, organize PTA activities, and many other activities. When you are a school volunteer, you are make a positive difference in our school and you contribute to the success of our students. Our school would not be the same without the many parents that help each and every day. Thank you for your involvement in our school and thank you for your hard work.
During this coming week of school, we will administer North Carolina End of Grade Tests in grades 3, 4, and 5. The NCEOGs are scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week. Students in grades K, 1, and 2 may also be involved in end of year assessment activities. While we take the tests seriously, we also know that our students are well prepared. Many of our students may be nervous about testing, but we want to assure them that we have confidence in their work. The End of Grade assessments are only one data point for our students as they work hard throughout the school year – each and every day. Our teachers and parents have prepared our students well for the end of year assessments. Please help us explain to our students that the EOGs are an opportunity for them to show what they have learned. We want them to do their very best, and regardless of their scores we love and care about our students.
