HELLO

I hope this message finds you well! Our campus was buzzing with pumpkins, characters, and excitement on Friday! It was wonderful to see everyone together enjoying our school community. My heart is always full when we come together to support our students!
​
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated items for the Treats for Staff event taking place on October 31, 2024. If you haven't had a chance to donate and would like to, please check the Sign Up Genius link: [http://TreatsforStaff]. Additionally, if there's something not on the list that you wish to contribute, please feel free! We truly appreciate your support; our school could not thrive without you!

Please ensure that your student arrives at school on time each day. Tardiness and absences can disrupt everyone's day and significantly impact learning. According to healthychildren.org, "Missing just two days a month of school—for any reason—can make life harder. Children who are chronically absent in kindergarten and first grade are less likely to read on grade level by third grade. For older students, chronic absenteeism is strongly associated with school failure—more so than low grades or test scores. When absences accumulate, these students are also more likely to be suspended and drop out of high school."

I am excited to share an amazing at-home literacy resource from the NC Office of Early Learning. You'll find a variety of activities and ideas to support your reader: https://www.dpi.nc.gov/students-families/parents-corner/literacy-home-digital-childrens-reading-initiative
Friday, November 1st is a TEACHER WORKDAY(:  

Thank you all so much for your support and for choosing NCS!
