Dear Patriot Families, This is your Principal, Lyndsey Dunn, with your updates for the week. If you follow our school facebook page, you may have seen that all around our school, we have been adding beautiful murals. These murals were purchased with the funds raised by last year’s, 2023-24, Apex Fun Run money. These funds were raised for the purpose of Campus Beautification, but the process of designing, getting approval and installing the murals just took a while. Thank you for your support to make that happen. The purpose of this year’s Apex Fun Run money is to install shade structures on each playground and we have begun the process of getting quotes for those. Duke Energy came and was digging underground last week as well, so we are getting closer to having electricity to our new Digital Marquee. Thank you for your patience as we get excited and hope to be able to use our new sign soon! Tomorrow, Monday, October 14th, is Fall Picture Day. We can’t wait to see our students dressed to impress. These are the pictures used for the Yearbook. An order form went home with students last week that they can bring back with them tomorrow. There is also information on our facebook page about how to order online. Thank you again for all that you do to be a partnership with the school for the success of your children. Have a good evening.

REMINDER: Picture Day is this coming Monday, October 14th. Order Forms have already been sent home with your child. Return the order form with your child on Monday or order pictures online using the information below 📸

JCPS continues to improve its school performance grades! 🌟 We are proud to announce that 89% of our schools received a school letter grade of A, B, or C according to recent data, surpassing the state average of 66%. This is a tremendous increase since 2018, when 65% of our schools were identified as the same. Through dedication and hard work, three schools moved from a letter grade of C to B, and four schools moved from D to C! 👏 #GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS

JCPS communities came together in an extraordinary way for our neighbors in Western North Carolina! 🌟 Donations from our schools for the Hurricane Helene Relief filled three dump trailers, three 3 box trucks, two pickup trucks, and two vans! This outpouring of kindness, compassion, and generosity is what our school system is built upon. We thank everyone involved in this effort! We continue to keep everyone affected by this devastating event in our hearts! ❤

Thousands of supplies. Hundreds of donors. One common goal…helping those in their time of need. ❤ Today our Facility Services team gathered supplies from our schools, which were Hurricane Helene Relief donation sites. In a few hours, these supplies will be transported to Western North Carolina. Thank you to the many, many students, parents, and staff who have responded promptly and compassionately. Also, a special thanks to Johnston County Government and the Johnston County Sheriff's Office for allowing us to partner with you in this effort. 🤝

As we provide critical assistance to our neighbors in Western North Carolina, here's a reminder of our district's partnership with Johnston County Government's Hurricane Helene Relief Effort. The region is in dire need of new, unused blankets. As you continue supporting the relief efforts, place these at the top of the list. Thank you!

JCPS continues to exceed the state average graduation rate! 🎓 In 2024 our graduation rate was 91.3%, well above the state average of 86.9%. 🥳 #GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS
