Princeton Elementary School

We love ending a school week with our students rocking Princeton blue and gold! 💙💛 Thank you to all who participated in our dress up days to recognize the importance of making good choices! Remember that Monday is a teacher workday and there will be no school for students. On Tuesday we will kick off our biggest fundraiser of the year….the Apex Fun Run! This is always some of our most fun and exciting weeks of the school year. Look for information to come home next week about how to start earning pledges and raising money for our school. It may be a little warm for Fall outside this weekend, but take some time to enjoy the sunshine! ☀️ We will see you on Tuesday, Bulldogs! #peswheregreatthingsgrow 💙💛

Dear Families, Johnston County Public Schools is committed to building well rounded students and consistently improving our schools for greater student success. Our school is participating in an opportunity to gather feedback on how we can better meet our goals of improving student success. Over the next few weeks, students and teachers will participate in surveys so that we can better support all of our stakeholders. In order to learn more about your students' needs we will be asking for your student’s feedback via an online survey that will begin on October 30th and will remain open for students through November 9th.
