8th Grade WAAG
South Edgecombe Middle School
Reminders!
Don't forget to download the ECPS mobile app and join your student's "room" in order to easily communicate with your 8th grade teachers! Students received a "Magic code" letter to give to parents/guardians last week (replaces the Remind app from last year)!
Please remember to bring your ID to the school at your earliest convenience in order to gain access to your student's classroom progress and grades on our new grading and information platform, Infinite Campus (replacing PowerSchool from previous years).
