Third, fourth, and fifth graders will take the NC Checkin assessments this week. The Reading NC Checkin is Wednesday, April 13 and the Math NC Checkin is Thursday, April 14. These tests will help us to know how each student is progressing in their understanding of the Reading and Math standards for their grade level.
There will be no school on Friday, April 15 and Monday, April 18 in recognition of the Easter Holiday. Unlike the rest of the district who has spring break the week of April 18-22, Forest City-Dunbar students will have regular school days Tuesday, April 19 - Friday, April 22.
Looking ahead, since many of our tutors work at other schools as their regular day job and will be on spring break the week after Easter, there will NOT be any Young Scholars after school program April 19, 20, or 21. We will have a regular Young Scholars schedule this week, April 11 - 14.
We are partnering with Bradley's to offer the opportunity to purchase Forest City - Dunbar shirts and hoodies again. Remember that FCD t-shirts can be worn on Fridays and FCD hoodies of any color can be worn over an approved uniform shirt any day.
All orders and payments should be made online through the link below. The deadline to place your order is Sunday, April 24, 2022.
Be sure to include your child's name on the order!

Kindergarten Orientation will be at FC-Dunbar on Thursday, April 28 from 4:00-6:00. This will be an opportunity for next year's kindergartner's to see the school, meet the teachers, ride a school bus, and learn more about what to expect when they start school. Parents will be given information about our school, expectations for their child as they begin kindergarten, and ways they can make sure students will be prepared to start school.
