Today is the first day of National School Lunch Week! This year the School Nutrition Association and JCPS are celebrating the power of school lunch! In the quest for academic success, research shows that healthy school lunches give kids the stats they need to come out on top. 🥗🍞 #NSLW23 #LevelUpWithSchoolLunch

Good afternoon, Bus 755 will be late again this afternoon. Bus 611 will take students home after she completes her first two routes. Bus 755 students will be approximately one hour late.

Good Evening Bulldogs, I wanted to send out a few quick reminders that will help us make sure that our arrival process is as safe and effective as possible. Students may enter the building starting at 8:25 am. Please do not drop students off prior to the bell ringing and adults being present to welcome them. Please use our two car rider lines for morning drop off. It has been brought to my attention that a good number of parents are parking in our parking spots and then walking students to the sidewalks. With so many cars moving at a time, it's really important to limit parking lot foot traffic as much as possible. We also need these parking spots for our teachers so that they can get in and be ready to welcome your children each morning. Lastly, if your child plans to eat breakfast in the cafeteria, it's important that they arrive no later than 8:45. Our tardy bell rings at 8:55 and class begins! We don't want students missing out on important instruction or starting their day off feeling rushed. We appreciate your help in these matters. Have a wonderful evening!

Bus 755 will be at least one hour late this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon. Bus 611 will pick up students after she completes her first two routes. Thanks!

Let's make some noise for our teachers on #NationalTeachersDay!!! Teachers don't just teach the students of JCPS, they inspire, motivate, mentor, and coach them. Our teachers pour their hearts and souls into their students each and every day. Teaching is a calling, and we are forever grateful to those who have answered that call, and have chosen JCPS to fulfill their purpose! THANK YOU TEACHERS!!!💝👏

We do love our AMAZING Custodians! Thank you for all that you do to help us LEVEL UP each day!

Picture Day is Coming on October 23. Be on the lookout for more information!

Good afternoon, Bus 756 will be approximately one hour late this afternoon. Bus 611 will drive the route after she completes her first two routes. Have a great day!

Attention all 4th and 5th graders and their parents/guardians! Battle of the Books is a book club for 4th and 5th graders. Our team-members work on reading books from the NC School Library Media Association Battle of the Books list, and then we compete against other Johnston County schools in February to see who knows the most about those books. If your child enjoys reading or competing, this could be a great opportunity for them! Being on our BOB Team does require commitment. Students are required to be present at our weekly practices. They also have to commit to reading at least five books. We meet once a week on Thursdays from 3:45-4:45 starting October 5th. Please visit bit.ly/wcesmedia for more information on how your student can participate in this club.

For those interested, we will be meeting at the flagpole at 8:00 am tomorrow morning for See You At The Pole. This is a time of prayers for students, staff, family, and friends.

Hello WCES family!! I just wanted to start off by sincerely apologizing for not being able to have the meeting as scheduled last Thursday. My family (all four of us) came down with a stomach bug on Thursday morning so it was a very last minute decision to postpone. I wish I could have been there! I am so sorry for any frustration this may have caused! For ours,and Mrs Barnes' schedule we could not make an in person meeting happen in the next two weeks, We have decided to do a Zoom meeting tomorrow night at 7pm. I realize this is last minute, but we will record the meeting and I will have it emailed to you all by the end of the week for those who could not make it! I'm attaching our agenda, proposed budget, and fall dates to know for the meeting! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!! Thank you for your patience, Meagan McFarland Topic: Rescheduled PTA meeting Time: Sep 26, 2023 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Join Zoom Meeting https://us05web.zoom.us/j/84568060299?pwd=ApOtqOaKfliWPpMKsj2GdzqZBP3jgD.1 Meeting ID: 845 6806 0299 Passcode: bulldogs *Links to documents (Fall Dates, Budget, and Meeting Agenda) were sent out through the PTA MemberHub.
