McGee's Crossroads Elementary School

Did you know... JCPS is 1 of 12 districts to exceed pre-pandemic achievement? Not only that, six of our amazing schools exited low performing status. All student subgroups are above pre-pandemic achievement, and JCPS is closing the achievement gaps. #GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS

Bus 726 (Lime) has a sub bus today. The number is 93.

The next data highlight from the 2023-2024 school year data report is phenomenal! Twenty-three of our schools earned their way into the top 20% of the state for growth. This accomplishment is just one example of students, teachers, and parents working together to propel our district up! #GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS

Voters will have the opportunity on November 5, 2024, to vote for a bond that could provide $120 million to JCPS and continue to improve the quality of education we offer our community. It is imperative that all of our leadership and school stakeholders understand the projects that will be funded by this referendum. Join us on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, @ 7:00 PM in the Selma Elementary School auditorium at 311 W Richardson St, Selma, NC. We hope to see you there!

Good evening Patriot Families, This is your Principal, Lyndsey Dunn, with your updates for the upcoming week. Thank you so much for your support with the Apex Fun Run and our Book Fair! We will have our finished totals to share soon, but we could not be more thankful for the support you all provided during these busy two weeks. Looking ahead, Quarter one progress reports will be coming home on Thursday, September 26th. There will be several letters, as well as reports from the current assessments your child has been taking. Grading from the current standards will come home with Report Cards, but not with progress reports. Friday, September 27th will be an Early Release Day. Therefore, dismissal will begin at 1:45 pm. Thank you for all that you do and have a good weekend!
