Red Ribbon Week - Part 2 Student Edition
Staff and students got in on the action and pledged to be drug free with our spirit dress up days!
We held our first character assembly today! We recognized students for the month of September (respect) and October (perseverance). We are so proud of these Black Widows!
The Black Widows of Micro Elementary School held their Fall Meal today!🎃
The School Nutrition Services team created a menu of spider sandwiches, banana mummies, and jack-o-lantern oranges, to name a few. Parents came to join in the festivities, too.
There was a host of characters including Mario and Luigi, Waldo, witches, a doctor, several princesses, and even Sonic the Hedgehog.
It was a howling good time! 🕷🕸
Continuing our celebration of #NationalPrincipalsMonth, we have Micro Elementary School Principal Ms. Carson Cataliotti! 🤩
She continues being a leader in education, and her passion shows in her love for Micro Elementary. She has cultivated an environment where learning is exciting, and success is achievable for all. As principal, Ms. Cataliotti continues her dream with compassion and understanding.
A big hip hip hooray for Ms. Cataliotti!!!🥳

One last reminder that there is no school tomorrow, Tuesday, October 22, 2024, for JCPS students on the traditional calendar. 📅
Oct. 21 -25 is National School Bus Safety Week.
Now that school is in full swing, it's a good reminder to be aware of the buses on the road each day, transporting the children of JCPS to and from school.

Check out our new library display!
Read me or they'll weed me!
Weeding is removing books from the library collection when they are no longer of interest to patrons; or they are too old, outdated, damaged or irrelevant. Should these books stay or go? They haven't been checked out in a very long time.
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! 👏

The bridge at the Micro exit is closed for now due to emergency repairs. The repairs are expected to take at least a week. Bus routes and times may be impacted. Please make arrangements as needed.
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. 🤝
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! ❤
Thank you to all who were able to donate to help support our neighbors in Western North Carolina!
