Winter Spirit Week 12/11 - 12/15
Good evening Smith families. This is Brian Williams with the weekly notes. We are experiencing an increasing number of tardies in the morning. Please make sure to drop your student off prior to the 7:50 tardy bell. We are administering the NC Check-Ins next week to 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. Check-Ins are important because the results give us valuable information regarding student progress in reading , math and 5th grade science. Please encourage your student to give their best effort on their Check-Ins. Thank you and have a good evening.
