Afterschool Care/Pick-Up
We have several students from the elementary and middle
school going onto High School campus at the end of the day.
They are under the impression that they can "hang out" there
while their older sibling is playing basketball, cheering, or in
some other after school activity. Students must be under the
direct supervision of their parent at all times when at the HS.
Parents, unless students are directly involved in an after
school activity, they cannot be in the High School building
after 3:30pm. Middle school and elementary students (that
are waiting on middle school siblings) are also not to be on
the Middle School grounds after 3:30pm unless involved in a
supervised activity.
Middle Students must be picked up by 3:30 unless they are
involved in a supervised afterschool activity or are in
YMCA afterschool care. Students not involved in an after

Reminder for Parents
Please make sure that you schedule in-class arrivals.
For example, if you would like to have a quick chat
with your child’s teacher make an appointment and this
can happen after school hours. If your child forgets
their lunch, please leave it at the front office. It will be
delivered by lunch time. Please make all appointments
for in-class visits or volunteering with your child’s
teacher at least 24 hours in advance and wait for a
confirmation.
Conferences can be planned before 7:30am and after
3:00pm according to the staff member’s availability.
7th Grade Field Trip
On January 15th, the 7th Grade will go to NCCU
to visit the BRITE institute from 9am to
12noon for a tour.
Drop off
Please do not drop off students at the top of the hill to
walk down. You must go through carpool line. This is a
huge safety concern for all of our parent drivers and students
walking across traffic patterns. If you arrive right at 8:00 am,
your child will be late and you will need to park and sign in
your child. Expectation is for all students to be seated and
ready to learn at 8:00am. Remember, carline starts at 7:30am
for middle school.
Cold Temperatures
With the cold temperatures, please make sure your children
are dressed appropriately to play outside. P. E. and recess
will be outside if weather permits.
