Second Semester
Happy Weekend Hawks! I hope your family can make time to exhale and enjoy time with one another this weekend. As we continue to be faced with the many challenges of the COVID-19, we remain committed to support our families. We are interested in learning how we might better support your Hawk and your family. Please take a few moments to complete the Family Needs Survey included below. Thank you for the warmth, connection, and support we have created in our school community. It means so much. Though we are virtual, let us not forget the power of positive connections!

Middle School Transitions
- We are so happy that Mr. Cucurullo is beginning his administrative journey at South Granville High School in Granville County, NC. This means we will be welcoming a new English Language Arts (ELA) Teacher to our Middle School Team. We are happy to announce that Ms. Melissa Bowman, our very own Special Education Teacher, will be transitioning to this role. Ms. Bowman has a background in reading support, specialized instruction, and extension support. Ms. Bowman brings a great deal of experience and dedication to this position. She also knows our community and our entire Middle School population. Please join me in welcoming Ms. Bowman to this role. Ms. Bowman will begin teaching all 6th Grade ELA and one block of 7th Grade ELA on Monday, January 25, 2021. This week (Wednesday through Friday) Ms. Willis will support these ELA classrooms. The students will be completing their Quarter Assessments and reviews. Again, welcome Ms. Bowman!
- 8th Grade Students should begin checking websites for local High Schools. Sanderson, Leesville, and Broughton have information posted online for rising student information sessions. Remember magnet application deadlines are coming up soon. Check the WCPSS website for more details on Magnet High School applications.
