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!

JCPS is the largest district with the lowest percentage of low performing schools!

Based on the current weather forecast, Johnston County Public Schools will continue normal operations on Monday, September 16, 2024. However, all after-school and evening campus activities and events have been canceled due to the forecast. We understand that this decision will inconvenience many after-school events, however, student and staff safety is our primary concern. It is our district’s goal to make our school communities as prepared as possible for emergency situations, including inclement weather. This decision has been made out of an abundance of caution, per the guidance of local and state emergency service officials. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we navigate this storm event. We encourage everyone to follow the guidance of local weather officials, and have a safe evening!

Good evening Patriot Families, This is your Principal, Lyndsey Dunn, with your updates for the week. This has been a busy, but fun week! The book fair began on this past Monday and most of you have already been shopping, but don’t worry if you haven’t had the chance. On Tuesday night, September 17th, we will be having a Book Fair/Curriculum Family Night from 5:00 -7:00 pm. We invite you to come to visit your child’s classroom where you will be making and taking fun resources to help your child learn and grow at home! Title I information will be provided for the 24-25 school year and while you are here, you are welcome to shop in the book fair, located in the gym. Also this week, We have had the Apex Team on campus teaching our students that Future Leaders are grateful, kind, and respectful to our peers and those with more experience like our teachers and parents. Ask your child what leadership lesson they learned today! The Apex team will be putting on a huge event on Thursday, September 19 to celebrate everything they learn and the money we raise! In the past, this huge event has purchased playground equipment and this past year, it purchased murals which will be installed all over the school shortly. This Apex Fun Run Event will be located outside on the middle playground area and family members are welcome to attend. Students will be running laps at the following times: K/1 will be at 9:15-10:15, 2nd grade at 10:15 - 11:15, 5th grade at 1:00 -2:00 and 3rd and 4th grades will be together at 2:00 - 3:00. 3rd through 5th graders will have color added to their run so they may want to bring an extra shirt with them. Students are aiming to get pledges from 10 sponsors to help raise money for the school, and they are earning thank you gifts for their pledges. On average students complete between 26 and 36 fitness laps with 36 being the most they can get credit for, and a minimum entered of 26 laps. So, if a pledge is made for $1 per fitness lap, the donation should be around 30 dollars. To donate, please check out your student’s “Apex VIP Badge” that was sent home earlier this week. All instructions are inside. Just go to www.myapexevent.com and use your student’s special “access code” printed on their VIP Badge to log in and enter your pledges. If you cannot find your code, just email info@apexleadershipco.com. This helps the school and helps us keep track of pledges. Thank you for all that you do to help support our school and your children. We appreciate you and have a wonderful weekend.
