Good afternoon, Red Devil family! All students in 6-8 are expected to be on campus tomorrow for a full day of school. Our 8th-grade students will take their Math End-of-Grade Test. in the morning. Starting next week, students are only required to be here on the days they are testing. Please ensure your child is in attendance each day they have an exam. This will keep them from having to come to school on a makeup testing day. Students need to get a good night's sleep, eat breakfast, and come to school ready to do their best. Parents, please speak with your child about the importance of these end-of-grade exams. We want our students to shine. That is all for this announcement. Have a great evening.

Good evening, Red Devil Family! Here are your announcements for the week of May 13-17, 2024. This is the last whole week of school for all students. Please make sure all cafeteria, technology, and library fees are paid before the end of the school year.

Again, all students should be at school every day this week. Please make sure you return the permission slip by May 15 so your child can be dismissed at 1 p.m. on their last day of testing. Copies of the permission form are available in the main office. Starting the week of May 20th, students are not required to be in attendance on days they are not testing. However, the days they are not here will still count as an absence, but it will not impact a student's academic or promotional status. Once students are finished with all of their exams, they are finished with the school year. Before testing starts next week, please talk with your students about the importance of following instructions during testing. Failure to follow the rules set forth by the State of North Carolina can result in test misadministration. Individual students or whole classes could be forced to retake the EOG test on a different day if a misadministration occurs. Please be on time. If students arrive late to school and the test administration has started, they must wait to test or come on the makeup day. No phones, smartwatches, or electronic devices are allowed during the testing session. Please have students leave their phones and headphones at home. On Reading test day, students are not allowed to use phones, earbuds, or headphones during a testing session. If a cell phone or watch goes off during testing, it may be a test misadministration requiring the whole class to test another day. Students CANNOT talk during breaks. No food, gum, snacks, or drinks are allowed during testing. Students are allowed to bring a bottle of water. Students should not bring bookbags on their test days. Blankets are not permitted. Testing is over once the entire school has completed the testing session.
