From the Principal….
December 20, 2016
Dear Parents,
I want to take this moment to wish you all a safe and peaceful holiday break. I hope life slows down for you, so
you can truly enjoy quality time with your family and friends.
New School Website
When we return from the holiday break, we’re transitioning to a new school website. Our website will be aligned
with WCPSS’s website and other Wake County Schools. We will let you know when it officially goes live.
Kindergarten Registration
Kindergarten Registration begins for the 2017-2018 school year on Thursday, January 5, 2017. Registration will be
held in the school lobby from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm. After Jan. 5th, registration will take place only on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. Please refer to our school website for specific items
needed for kindergarten registration.
