We will have NC Check-ins this week for our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. We will test Reading on Tuesday, Math on Wednesday, and for 5th graders, Science on Thursday. These test help us make decisions about how best to meet the needs of our students. It is very important that students be well-rested and on time every day, but especially these days as we will begin the check-ins shortly after 8:00.
We will have Math Monday tomorrow after school until 4:00. On Tuesday, our Book Battle team and our Grow Strong team will practice after school until 4:00. On Wednesday, the Good News Club will meet until 4:30. Our Grow Strong and Book Battle teams will also practice after school Thursday until 4:00. We want to wish out Book Battle team good luck as they’ll travel to Surry Community College on Friday to compete against other Surry County Schools teams.
