AASA TESTING DATES & REMINDERS
ALL 3rd-8th grade students MUST have headphones (wired, not bluetooth) and their fully charged device & charger each day for testing.
Parents, please make sure that your students are present and arrive at school on time during testing. If at all possible, please schedule doctor's appointments and the like on days that your student's grade level is not testing. Once a student has stated testing they can not make up any portion of that test if they are pulled out of school for appointments or illness before they finish. The state requires that all schools have 95% attendance for testing. Thank you for doing your part to ensure that this happens.

AN EXCITING MESSAGE FROM MRS. ROBARGE...
I am thrilled to share the most exciting news with all of our NC families. It is with great joy that I announce that my husband Greg and I are anxiously awaiting a new addition to our lives. We are expecting a baby boy in June! Baby Robarge, who we have already proudly named Jordan, should make his debut on June 27. Jordan Ryan Robarge will be our first child and we can't wait to welcome him to the world this summer!
