greetings from lower academy

I hope this message finds you well. Students have been working hard in the Lower Academy this week! 

We’re excited to let you know that starting Monday, March 31st, students in grades 3-5 will be participating in our Mini Mondays practice sessions to get ready for the End of Grade (EOG) test. These sessions are all about helping students become familiar with the testing environment and reducing any worries they might have about the test.
Each Mini Monday will last for just one hour, 8-9, giving students a chance to practice without feeling overwhelmed. And don’t worry—students who have separate testing settings will not be pulled during these practice sessions since they are just for practice.
Thank you so much for your support as we help our students feel confident and prepared for the big day!

So excited to share with you

3/21/2025

 

We are deeply saddened we had to cancel our Community Night event scheduled for March 5th due to unexpected weather conditions. We understand how much everyone was looking forward to this special evening, and we share in your disappointment.


However, we didn’t want the weather to stop us from sharing the incredible work your students have been doing. To make sure you can still experience their achievements, we’ve put together a virtual presentation showcasing their amazing work! You’ll be able to view it from the comfort of your home at your convenience.


Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We’re incredibly proud of all our students and hope you enjoy seeing their creativity, hard work, and dedication come to life through this virtual experience.


Enjoy!

I hope this message finds you warm, well, and safe! 

Please mark your calendars for the Lower Academy Community Night on March 5th. Families and friends are invited to join us on campus for an evening focused on academic excellence. More details will be shared as we get closer to the date.




The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NC DPI) has created support guides for parents and families. I encourage each of you to review these guides for your student. Take a moment to see how they can be helpful for you and your child. The partnership between home and school is crucial for each student's success. Please let us know how we can assist you and your student.

Happy Friday, 
I hope this message finds you well! 
Congratulations to the middle school boys' and girls' basketball teams that have won the conference championship! The NCS varsity women's winter track team made school history by becoming conference champions for the first time!  We are so proud of these athletes! 

Each morning and afternoon, we all have one common goal: to get our students to school safely and bring them home. Please make sure you are not cutting in front of anyone in the carpool line; watch your speed, stay in your car, and smile! Doing these four things will help carpool go smoothly and keep everyone safe.

The following quote is a great reminder of how we can go into each day! "Kindness is more than deeds. It is an attitude, a look, a touch. It is anything that lifts another person." - Plato

I hope this update finds you all well and warm! We are working hard in the Lower Academy and so many wonderful things are happening. 
As technology becomes an ever-present part of our lives, many of our children are gaining access to smartphones at earlier ages. While cell phones can be valuable tools for communication and safety, they also pose challenges and risks, particularly for young children in elementary school. Here are some important considerations to keep in mind: Cell Phones
