Your child will be participating in the NC EOG Check-In this Thursday, November 7th. These are evaluations used to progress monitor your child's proficiency and growth over time, and accurately assess where your child is in preparation for their End of Grade Exam in late May. There are three Check- Ins per tested subject throughout the year. Please make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and is eating well so they are as prepared as they can be for their check-in.
Falcon Fun Fest - 11/1 *Update*Thank you to everyone who participated in Falcon Fun Fest and donated to our school to help fund student rewards, school supplies, and school events. Together we fundraised a little over $10,000! Although we did not meet our ambitious goal, we have fundraised enough to help make our school experience that much greater for our students. Thank you again for your support of our school and community.

To Keep In Mind ...
YMCA ACCESS Tutoring Program
Does your child need help in their classes? YMCA Access Academy, a FREE tutoring program, is partnering with CWMS to help! We will have some of our own certified teachers providing tutoring instruction. Sign up forms are available at the school.
Car Line Reminders
For 7th and 8th grade families who pick up their child in the afternoon car line - be sure to pull up to all available spaces in order to keep traffic moving. Also, this is a reminder to all 6th grade carline drivers that the first lane is reserved for buses, and the second lane in the parking lot is reserved for all cars. When you arrive, please drive down the second lane in the car line, and not the first lane.
Attendance Leads to Success - Fly Like A Falcon
As we continue to soar into the year, we want to emphasize the importance of your child's regular attendance. When your child attends school regularly, they can build stronger and more consistent friendships, engage in continuous learning, and build positive habits. We understand that illnesses and emergencies happen. However, when possible, we encourage you to schedule appointments and family trips outside of school hours.
Check PowerSchool Grades
Parents, please make sure that you're periodically checking your child's PowerSchool grades as we approach the end of the first quarter on October 23rd. If you have a question about how to access your child's grades, please stop by the main office so we can assist you.
