Happy Saturday Eagles!

What a wonderful first week back at Clyde Erwin! The week started with our Morning Meeting with K-2 students reviewing expectations for respect and ended with DARE graduation for our fifth graders. We are so proud of all of our fifth graders for graduating DARE. Congratulations for a job well done! Always remember the importance of what you learned as you advance to middle school, high school, and beyond. We also want to say a special THANK YOU to Officer Horne for his time in teaching our DARE program. Congratulations to Chief Horne, as he is now the Chief of Police in Richlands, NC.

Additionally, report cards were sent home with students Friday. It is hard to believe we are in the third quarter of the school year! If you would like to schedule a conference with your child's teacher to discuss the report card or your child's needs moving forward, please call the school at 910-347-1261 or send the teacher a message on Class DoJo.

Mid-Year Assessments

All students are currently completing their math iReady diagnostic. It must be completed by the end of January. This mid-year diagnostic provides information to teachers about student growth and helps inform instruction for the second semester. Please encourage your students to take their time and show their work. We need accurate assessment data to meet students' needs.

NC Check-In Assessments

Students in grades 4-5 are participating in the NC Check-In assessment for reading this week. This assessment is a state requirement and provides teachers valuable information about student progress in reading. Additionally, students in grade 5 will complete the Science Check-In. Please encourage your students to do their best.

Winter Wonderland Dance

Our Winter Wonderland Dance will be held on Friday, January 17, 5:30-7:30pm. Tickets are pre-sale only and must be purchased by Wednesday, January 15, 2020. Tickets are $5.00 each, and at least one adult must attend with students. The ticket cost helps us cover food. Appetizers will be served, and photographs will be available for purchase.

Krispy Kreme Fundraiser

Our Krispy Kreme fundraiser begins on Monday, January 13, and students will be bringing home order forms. We are selling Krispy Kreme certificates for $8.50 each, and they may be redeemed at Krispy Kreme for one dozen doughnuts. One dozen doughnuts normally costs over $10.00, so you are saving money by purchasing certificates through our school. We receive 50% of the profit to purchase supplies that will directly benefit our students. All money and orders are due by January 24. Thank you for your support!

Talent Show

Our talent show for 2020 will be held on the evening of March 5. Students may sign up for try-outs this week, January 14-16. Please encourage your students to participate! It is always a fun night!

Box Tops

Thank you to all who donated Box Tops! We will be collecting until the beginning of May. Please continue to collect Box Tops and turn them in by April. Box Tops provide extra funding for our school.

THANK YOU for being a Box Tops Hero!
