Preach! Keep all things in perspective. An exam is not a measure of a man, woman, boy, or girl! A love for learning is a love for the kids that walk into our rooms every day regardless of an exam score!
Who will win the Teacher of the Year car, compliments of Kurtis Chevrolet? We will find out at our Employee of the Year event on Friday, May 5th! Until then, catch glimpses of the Chevy Equinox on several of our campuses leading up to the event. We can't wait to celebrate. ๐๐โ๏ธ

We need this flexibility to align our school calendar with the community college calendar & present even semesters with finals before December break.
NC House passed 111-2 today 4 school calendar flexibility bills (HB45, HB106, HB115, HB129) impacting 22 districts, including Wake County & CMS. Coastal Reps. Celeste Cairns & Frank Iler voted no. Sen. Phil Berger says they won't be acted on in Senate. #nced#ncpol#ncga#wcpss
Mrs. Luptonโs 3rd graders have mastered the concept of asking and answering questions in reading!! They are even able to generate their own questions from fiction texts for peers to answer!! ๐ These collaborative centers were AWESOME!! ๐ @MCPSsandcastle#TeamMCPS#LightTheWay
Teachers, want to take something off your plate? Put HW in the trash. Especially for elementary, let students go home, run, play, and enjoy being a child. And read a little after playing. Then they come to school recharged instead of stressed out and you will too!
