Good afternoon Western Alamance Middle School families, this is Principal Aaron Acome.
As we begin the 4th quarter and move closer to the end of the school year, there is much to look forward to with a variety of events and activities ahead. However, it is important to remember that our focus must remain on maintaining high academic and behavioral expectations as students and teachers prepare for the EOG assessments. Let’s stay committed to providing a strong finish to the year, ensuring our students are supported and ready for success.
