STEM Announcement
Calling all At-Home Eagle Engineers! Does your child love science? Do they love to create, explore and build?
We do lots of these in our STEM class with Mrs. Vigilante and now YOU can be on our VSE Mad Scientist
Wall of Fame in the hallway for extending your love of science outside the classroom! The next time your child is creating a volcano, bird watching, doing a chemistry experiment, curating a rock collection, studying the stars, analyzing a wild animal's footprint in the backyard or engineering a new invention, snap a selfie of your child and what they were doing and mail it to jvigilante@wcpss.net! The science possibilities are all around us!
Are you missing important messages from your child's teacher?
Talking Points, an online texting app, is the primary way our teachers and staff communicates with families. It is imperative that we maintain two-way communication between the home and the school to ensure student success. PLEASE download the Talking Points app if you've not already done so. Please also update your phone number with the office if it has changed since last school year. Thank you! (cmpeacock@wcpss.net or 919-662-2486)

Student Cell Phones & Outside Toys
Student Cell Phones
As we work to limit classroom distractions, we are asking that student cell phones be left at home. If you feel your child must have a cell phone at school, please remind him/her that cell phones should remain off and be stored in a backpack during the school day. If a student’s cell phone disrupts instruction, it will be confiscated and held in the office for parent pick up. Thank you so much for your help with this!
Toys from Home
Outside toys from home, have also disrupted the learning environment. Please leave all stuffed animals, Pokemon cards, Beyblades, and all other toys from home at home. Thank you for your help with this as we work to protect the learning environment for our students and teachers.
