The state of North Carolina has released new attendance codes that our school will be using moving forward. Please note: If your student is checked out early from school after 11:30 AM, the early checkout will be coded as a 2P - Unexcused Early Checkout unless a doctor's note is provided. If you provide a note, then it will be coded as 1P - Excused Early Checkout. Please keep this in mind when making plans for early dismissal. A doctor's note must be provided for the early checkout to be excused. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
Our Pre-K students in Mrs. Francis's class have been busy learning about life cycles this week!

We LOVE partnering with our community to bring exciting learning experiences to our Eagles!

A few pictures of our first graders, along with Mrs. Nash and Mrs. Young's classes exploring and learning at the Carolina Raptor Center yesterday!

Congratulations to Bus 140, our September Bus of the Month, and to our amazing bus drivers, Mrs. Mouw and Mrs. Long! These students have been putting the Leader in Me Habits into action by making great choices and demonstrating leadership while riding the bus. We love seeing our students learn that leadership doesn't stop when they leave the classroom; it travels with them wherever they go!
Families, help us keep the leadership going! Ask your Eagle how they can show the 7 Habits on the bus, at home, and in our community. Celebrate the positive choices you see and encourage them to be a leader wherever they go!
