#Action
Solar Eclipse
The 2024 Great North American Eclipse will happen on Monday, April 8, 2024. In North Carolina, the partial eclipse will begin around 1:58pm and peak at approximately 3:15pm when the moon obscures about 82% of the sun. Wake County Public School student and employee safety is of the utmost importance during this experience. As such, it is important to recognize that it is never safe to look directly at the sun’s rays, even when the sun is partially obscured. Cedar Fork Elementary will not be purchasing glasses or hand-held viewers for this event. Impacted grade levels (second and third) will change their recess time or structure. We will be watching the NASA live stream event, so students are able to learn about a solar eclipse and see it clearly and safely.
Panorama Survey
This year's Panorama Parent Survey opens on Monday, April 8th! Please complete one survey for each student who attends WCPSS. We use this information to make decisions at Cedar Fork. We value your opinion and look forward to getting the results so we can continue to work towards excellence for ALL. Here is the link to the survey that will go live on Monday, April 8th:

REMINDER: Parent Intent Form - PLEASE COMPLETE
It is VERY important for the Cedar Fork front office to know if your child will not return for the 24-25 school year!

Field Day Volunteers Wanted
Carpool Expectations
Thank you to all the parents that have been trying to arrive a little earlier for carpool. The carpool line has been better but there are still times that no one is in the carpool line from 8:55-9:00am. Please plan to arrive earlier so you can ensure your child enters the school on time.
Please make sure that you drive through the carpool line slowly and refrain from using your cell phones during this time. If you are a carpool parent you may not drop off your child prior to the 8:45am bell due to proper supervision.
