Spring Break begins on March 29th. Students will be out of school March 29th - April 7th. They will return on Monday, April 8th.
Parents, I would like to remind everyone that students should not be dropped off in our front parking lot or on Ramseur Street in front of the school. This is a huge safety concern. Please make sure they are dropped off in the back of the building in the car line. Our line moves quickly!
Lastly, parents, please make sure you have your ID with you if you're coming to school to eat lunch or check out your child. Our sign-in/out system requires a driver's license or ID to be scanned. We strive to keep our students safe. This is one additional step we can use to ensure the safety of everyone here at school. Please share this information with anyone who may come to school to eat lunch with your child. Please note that visitors are not allowed to go to classrooms after lunch. Please say your goodbyes in the cafeteria. Thank you for your cooperation with this.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. My email is atruppe@clevelandcountyschools.org and the school phone number is 704-476-8225.
I appreciate you all!
Andrew T Ruppe, Principal
