My name is LaChandle Nowling, and I am so excited to be partner with you in helping your child to grow academically, socially and emotionally this year. I am originally from High Point, NC. I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from NC A&T State University and my Masters in Education from Regent University. I have been in the educational field for over 20 years. This is my second year at West Clayton Elementary School, and I love being a part of the WCES team! My husband Melvin and I have resided in Clayton since 2002. We are the proud parents of 3 amazing boys, Micah (17), Myles (15) and Matthew (11), all of whom have attended WCES. In my spare time I enjoy reading, crocheting, spending time with my family, and singing on the praise team at my church. I am looking forward to a great year with you and your child!

Updated COVID-19 Quarantine Guidance
There have been significant changes to the Strong Schools NC toolkit that affects the quarantine procedures our staff and students must follow if they are exposed to a positive case of COVID-19. Any student or staff member who is currently quarantined due to an exposure of a positive COVID-19 case may return to school or work tomorrow, unless the close contact is a housemate. We are able to make this adjustment because our district requires masks for all students, staff, and guests.
