From The Office Of The Principal

On February 11^thparents are invited to attend a school wide Title I curriculum night at Enochville Elementary School.  Our kindergarten teachers will present and distribute to parents a full-color picture dictionary that gives the picture, definition of the word, and usage ofthe word in a variety of complete sentences.  This resource is free to all kindergarten students.  First and Second grade teachers will be meeting with parents to review reading, math and writing strategies.  Fourth and Fifth grade teachers will be conducting parent information / curriculum sessions.  Teachers in these grades will review objectives of the NC Standard Course of Study and strategies that will help students prepare for EOG tests.  Students in 3-5 grades will be taking EOG tests in May.  The information sessions will inform parents what is being taught in our classrooms and how parents can help their child at home.  It is our hope that working together, we can help all of our students be successful.  Please plan to attend these important meetings. 

***  Because the EOG is new to most 3^rdGrade Parents, our 3^rd Grade teachers will host a special EOG Night for parents on Monday, February 15^th at 6:00 pm in the Media Center.  Third grade will not be meeting on February 11^th.

Spell-a-thon Fund Raiser

Preparation for our PTA spell-a-thon fundraiser begins February 11^th with word lists and parent information going home with students.  We realize that these are tough economic times so please remember that participation is voluntary. This annual fundraiser generates support from parents and community as students earn support for spelling words correctly.  Our spell-a-thon test will be given on February 25^th.  Everyone who participates will receive a special spell-a-thon pencil in addition to other incentives that are available.  Thanks for supporting our children and the PTA.  Our Spring and final PTA meeting will be held on April 27^th.

Inclement Weather Details

During extreme weather or other emergency situations, it sometimes becomes necessary for Rowan-Salisbury School System officials to delay, close or dismiss schools.  The decision to close or delay school will be made by 5:15 a.m., and news outlets will receive the information within minutes of the announcement to close or delay school.  Again this year, we will also use the system’s Connect-Ed communication system to notify parents of school closings.  When school is delayed, please keep in mind that it is automatically a two-hour delay and that the delay may change into “no school” if conditions continue to worsen.  Buses will also operate on a 2 hour delay. (Add 2 hours on to normal pick up time).  Students should not arrive on campus before 9:30 a.m.  School officials urge parents to stay up-to-date anytime there is a threat of inclement weather, especially during the school day when students may be dismissed early.  Please make sure your child’s early dismissal information is current.  It is very important to discuss with your child his/her arrangements in the event of an early dismissal.  The school system has an inclement weather hotline, available in both English and Spanish, that is updated with closing and delay information.  The RSS hotline can be reached by calling 704-216-0220.
