End of Grade testing is near! See below for our testing dates so you and your scholar are prepared.
?How can you prepare your scholar?
Stay positive – Encourage confidence and remind your child that effort matters more than perfection.
Encourage reading – Have your child read daily to improve comprehension and focus.
Work on weak areas – Ask teachers for feedback on which subjects or skills need extra attention.
Ensure adequate sleep- A full nights rest will keep them focused on the test!
Offer encouragement – A kind note or pep talk can boost morale before the test.
Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week! We want to say THANK YOU to all of our Griffith Elementary volunteers! We appreciate your time and dedication to our scholars. THANK YOU!
WS/FCS is encouraging families to sort out their bus stops for next school year early to make sure everything is in order before the May 30 deadline. Learn more on our website at https://www.wsfcs.k12.nc.us/article/2134681.
