This is your new principal, Ashley Foisy, and I am so excited to be sending our first message of the school year! Our staff returned on Monday and has been busy preparing for the arrival of our students. We cannot wait to welcome all of our new and returning Patriots back to school!
Our traditional postcards with your child’s teacher information will be mailed tomorrow Friday, August 14th. Be on the lookout for your postcard in the mail! If your child does not receive a postcard, please do not worry. We will be able to provide that information when you arrive for Open House.
Speaking of Open House - Mark your calendars! Open House for Kindergarten - 5th Grade will be next Thursday, August 20th. Families with last names beginning with A–M are asked to attend between 4:00 and 5:15 p.m. Families with last names beginning with N–Z are asked to attend between 5:15 and 6:30 p.m.
We are also pleased to once again offer Early Morning and After School Care for families who need this service. Registration must be completed separately for each child. Our top priority is maintaining a safe staff-to-student ratio for all students who attend. Due to the high demand, there will be a limit on the number of students we can accommodate, so registration will be first come, first served.
Registration and payment information is available on our school website. Please remember that registration must be completed for each child individually. Our director, Mrs. Mandy Bowden, will contact you once your registration and payment have been received to confirm your child’s enrollment.
Please continue to check our Facebook page and ClassDojo for the latest information and updates as we prepare for this new school year!
We are so excited and we cannot wait to see all of our Patriots back in the building soon! Have a wonderful evening!
A new school year is just around the corner! While the excitement is building, we know getting ready can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created a one-stop shop to help families get ready for the year ahead!

During the July 14th regular scheduled meeting, the JC Board of Education approved revisions to Policy Code 4304: Code of Student Conduct.
There was special attention to Section F. 36, which provides governance for the "Possession, Display, Use, Sale or Distribution of Vapes".
Revisions define vapes and expresses that there will be a 10-day suspension for any student in violation of the code.
We strongly encourage parents to speak with your child(ren) regarding the details of the policy and the consequences moving forward.
Please know that the Johnston County Board of Education strives to mitigate health and safety concerns related to harmful substances such as tobacco products and/or vapes. The revised verbiage and the associated penalties have been set to achieve this goal.
