Safety Drill
Parents: At approximately 8:40 AM, we conducted a code red lockdown (safety) drill. Our students and staff did a wonderful job, and we appreciate the help and support provided by the Garner PD and the WCPSS security team.
READvolution has begun!
Our goal between now and December 6 is to read 2020 books as a school. Each child has a goal of 800 minutes. EVERY student that meets the 800 min goal will receive 2 free tickets to a Carolina Hurricanes game!
If we meet the school goal of 2020 books, we will be entered into a drawing for a "Cool School" field trip to watch the Hurricanes practice.
To access the Readvolution site, have your child log in to his/her Wake ID portal and click on the Readvolution button. If your child doesn't know his/her Wake ID and password, please email or Dojo your teacher.
Our hope is that every student will read and log 800 minutes! Reading needs to be done at home for approximately 20 minutes per night. For younger students, it is appropriate to read to your child! Snuggle up with a good book tonight!
