Due to a community event that will be hosted at FC-Dunbar, this Friday August 6 will be an early dismissal day for students. Students will be dismissed August 6 at 12:00.
Friday, August 6 will be individual picture day for students. All students pictures will be made that day. These pictures will be used for our yearbook. Picture order forms were sent home last week. If you did not receive one, please contact the school and we will provide you another one. Students are allowed to wear non-uniform clothes on Picture Day.
Our 3rd graders will take the Beginning of Grade 3 test of reading this Tuesday, August 3. This test is required of all 3rd graders under the North Carolina Read to Achieve guidelines set by the state.
K-5 students will take the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests of Reading and Math Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. These tests help us to understand what our students know and what they need to work on in order to guide our instruction.
Reminder that students will again have the opportunity to take an assigned iPad home this year. The iPad can be used to access electronic learning and homework, as well as extended learning activities through apps and other online resources. Different this year is that a $20 technology fee is required per child. This fee can be paid in a $10 payment per semester. Students who do not pay the technology fee will be day users only. Families with financial hardships may request a fee waiver from the school’s principal. This fee should be paid no later than Monday, August 9.
