Setting up an eWallet is the easiest way for your child to shop and you won't have to send any cash with them. Let Mrs. B know if you have any questions! Looking forward to another awesome Book Fair!! :)

Good evening,
Our PTO will sell WAVE T-shirts and sweatshirts in the car line tomorrow at 2:15 p.m. You can pay in cash or via the Cash App. Have a great evening!

Good afternoon,
This message informs you that we conducted two safety drills today: a fire drill and a lockdown with police. All students and staff were safe. Thank you, and have a great evening.

Good evening, our World's Finest chocolate candy bar fundraiser kicked off today! Our students are excited. Permission slips to sell were sent home today; candy bars will be passed out to students on Tuesday with a returned signed slip. However, if your student rides the bus in the afternoon, parents must come to the school and pick up their candy by 4:30 p.m. I hope you have a great evening. See you tomorrow.

Intent letters were given out on January 16 to students interested in being cheerleaders. They must be returned by January 27. Students can't try out unless they have an intent letter on file. Tryouts are January 27th and 30th.
For safety, please do not let your child out of the car down the carpool line. Students are not safe running along the side. If your child is in the car line at 8:00, they are tardy, and you must come in and sign them in. Breakfast will end at 8:05 for any student coming in tardy unless they are a bus rider. If you want your child to eat breakfast, please have them here between 7:20 and 8:00 am. Remember, students miss valuable lessons because they are late for school. Parents, if you pick your child up early from school, between 12:30 and 2:30, you must park in the staff parking lot near the buses. The pick-up line starts around 12:30.
Parents' school dismisses at 3:00, but several students are still here from 3:45 to 4:00 and later. Please arrive close to 3:00 to pick your children up. Students are tired, and sometimes, my staff have meetings they must attend after school.
Thank you. Enjoy your evening. We will see your wonderful children bright and early on tomorrow morning.

Good evening,
I hope everyone has enjoyed our snow day! The PTO would like to share that the Mom's Breakfast has been postponed due to Friday's delay. Additional information will be provided in the upcoming week. Stay warm, and have a wonderful evening!

Friday, January 24, 2025: All NCPS schools will operate on a two-hour delay due to the potential for icy road conditions. Breakfast will be available at schools. Students may be dropped off 40 minutes prior to the start of their school day. Essential personnel should report at their regular time, provided it is safe to do so.
