- A detailed schedule and accommodations plan was placed in your box on Thursday, January 5. Should you misplace your copy, Team Leaders and Mrs. Janet Jacobs have extras.
- Teachers who are scheduled to give the 6th Grade ELA Check-In on Tuesday are to meet with Ms. Brayboy during your planning period or after school on Monday, January 9 to review that process (this is an NCDPI administered test). Those teachers are: ALL 6th Grade Homeroom Teachers (P. Best, L. Francis, T. Frazer, C. Johnson, K. Oswald, H. Smith, J. VanDeVelde, M. Williams, T. Williams), J. Odom, D. Motz, D. Hersey, R.A. Harris, X. McRae, J. Allen, J. Scott, C. Snell, and L. Fehlman.
CTE State Post- Assessments are administered through SchoolNet and will require that students be able to log in and complete the assessment within the regular class time. With that said, please do not change student usernames and passwords. Students enrolled in CTE classes are using School Net on a regular basis and should know their username and password. If you change this information, it will prevent CTE teachers from completing the assessment in the time allocated.
- On the days of CTE Post-Assessments, please allow students to use the restroom PRIOR to electives to ensure they have time to take the test during the class period. Also, ensure that students report to class on time. Students will not be allowed to enter the testing area once the test begins.
Please contact Camille Goins and/or a CTE teacher with questions/concerns regarding CTE State Post-Assessments.
What's New?
- There was an error in the last Friday Review. This Friday, January 6 was suppose to be Character Education, according to our original schedule. Administration decided to go ahead and have clubs on Friday, January 6. Nothing was scheduled for next Friday, January 13 due to benchmarks. However, we will have Character Education on Friday, January 13 since the only benchmark testing that day is Math I (8th grade). We will resume the regular, original schedule and clubs will be held on Friday, February 20.
- Anyone interested in coaching baseball or softball? Please see Coach Hersey before the end of the day on Monday, January 9th.
- The end of the 9 weeks is Friday, January 20. Monday, January 23 is an Optional Teacher Workday. Report Cards will go home on Wednesday, January 25.
