End of Grade Testing Dates

Message from the Principal
The End of Grade (EOG) tests are state-mandated for third, fourth, and fifth graders. Please note the dates above.
It is important that we test 100% of our students. Please refrain from scheduling doctor appointments, vacations, and anything else that would not allow the student to not be in attendance at school on these days. Our goal is to minimize the need for make-up testing sessions as these pull staff and interrupt the flow of the school day.
Also, testing environments cannot be disrupted, so early pickups are not permitted until after 2:00 PM.
We appreciate your support in helping us to maintain smooth sailing as we comply with the testing requirements.

Single Subject Acceleration
Parents,
If you are interested in learning more about Single Subject Acceleration (SSA) for next year, please visit the SRE website for more information. You will need to scroll down to the "Wake County News" portion of the website. Wake County is currently holding parent meetings for interested parents and ALL interested parents are highly encouraged to attend.
For those of you unfamiliar with the program, SSA allows a student to accelerate a grade level above their chronological grade in either ELA or math (e.g. a qualifying student currently in 2nd grade would skip 3rd grade math and go to a 4th grade class for math next year). This program is separate from AIG, and a student does not need to be in AIG to be nominated or to qualify. Students qualify by meeting county-set proficiency measures on a cumulative test of the course they are requesting to skip.
The flyer about the district opportunities are located below.
