Hello, Panther Families!
We're thrilled to be cruising through Quarter 2 with your amazing students!
This Week's Spotlight: NC Check-In 2.0
This week, our 3rd through 8th graders will participate in the NC Check-In 2.0 assessments in math, ELA, and 5th- and 8th-grade science. These assessments are wonderful tools that help our teachers understand what your child has mastered and where they might need a little extra support. Think of it as a learning compass that guides us in making sure every student gets exactly what they need to shine!
Testing Schedule:
Days: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday
Start Time: 8:00 AM
Grades: 5th and 8th
How You Can Help:
Ensure your child gets a restful night's sleep before testing days
Help them arrive ready to do their best by being present each day
Celebrating Attendance!
We're so excited about one of our school improvement goals this year—reaching 95% attendance or higher! Every month, we track our progress and celebrate our students as a school community. In October, our overall attendance was 93.6%. We know that sometimes life happens, and students may need to stay home when they're not feeling well. Our goal is to create a culture where every student feels they belong and where we celebrate the joy of learning together each day.
Thank you for your continued partnership in making our school an incredible place for every Panther to learn and grow. Together, we're building something special!
Go Panthers! 🐾
Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead!
-Ms. Harris
