We have PBS news!

We have been selected as a Green Ribbon School in the NC Positive Behavior Support Initiative Annual Recognition.  We will be recognized and awarded a banner at the Conference on Exceptional Children on Nov. 2 in Greensboro. Congratulations to our staff, parents, and students for a team effort in the PBS initiative and a job well done!

We send a special thank you to all of our wonderful PTA parents who have continued to assist with our new schedule, carpool, and lunch duties. Our PTA families have helped students feel comfortable at school as they learn new routines and schedules. Feel free to keep up on new PTA events including School Beautification Day on the PTA link http://www.hrepta.org/.

We welcome parents to stay involved in our school. Those who wish to volunteer in the classroom, school building, or on field trips can update their 2009-2010 WCPSS clearance in the media center.
