Please use the link below to read the 2023 North Carolina School Report Cards. https://bit.ly/3hriYBh "The NC School Report Cards website contains snapshots of information about our schools, including the school performance grade, students’ academic growth, how prepared our students are when they enter a school, and a number of other measures as well," said NC Superintendent Catherine Truitt. "These resources are readily available for you and allow transparency into aspects like spending as well as school performance. Although this information is important to know, we know it doesn’t tell the complete story. It doesn’t show the hard work our educators pour in each day for their students and schools and it doesn’t show the spirit of the school itself. No data will be able to show the dedication of our educators nor will it show the extracurricular opportunities, the athletic programs, the apprenticeship, or career preparatory classes - all of which have a profound impact on students and growth."

4th graders are enjoying the fall weather by practicing math outside! We worked on chicken themed math problems this week. 🐓 We worked to find out how many different rectangular chicken coops we could build with 24 feet of fencing. The dimensions could change, but the perimeter had to be 24 feet! Next, we worked on division strategies to figure out how many ounces of feed we could give to each of our chickens based on a fixed total of 50 ounces. 🐔
