A Message from the PTA President
November is upon us and there are many events to be reported at this time. Benchmark testing is over and report cards from the first marking period have come home. Staff members have either completed or are still conducting parent-teacher conferences. Hopefully, you are asking your child’s teacher the important questions regarding curriculum and your child’s progress. Additionally, the NC School Report Cards have been sent home this week in your child’s Friday folder, please keep in mind when reading this document that all the percentages, grades, and school profile information is for 2008/2009, not for the current school year.
The November PTA Board meeting should have guests from the DPS Facilities Department to give everyone updates on the progress of our new car pool lane, the expanded bus circle and the new 8 classroom addition construction. Please feel free to join us for what should be a very informative meeting.
The school will be hosting its first Bingo Night on Thursday, November 12th. Please join in this fun family event, refreshments will be available through concessions hosted by the PTA.
Spirit Night will be on Wednesday, November 18 at both Chilis locations (keep in mind, it is also Early Release Day). And finally, the Thanksgiving holiday will be celebrated with school closings from Wednesday, November 25 through Friday, November 27.
I wish you all a very healthy and happy Thanksgiving season.
Lori Farley
PTA President 2009/2010
