January 2008

After our Winter Break, it is not unusual for parents and students to begin dreading the EOG tests that inevitably come around in May.  Our teachers work diligently to see that our students are prepared for testing, but in a way that does not place unwanted stress on our students.  If you feel your child may need extra help in preparing for EOC testing, you may want to consider enrollment in our Learning Center .  The Learning Center is provided for students who did not pass last year’s EOG testing in either reading and/or math.  The Center provides free tutorial Monday through Thursday from 2:15 – 5:15.  Students receive extra help in both reading and math and also have time to complete homework assignments.  There are still a few seats available in the Leaning Center .  Stop by the front office to pick up an enrollment sheet.

 Congratulations to all students that participated in our Winter Concert.  It was a huge success and the new location of Williams Auditorium at Winston-Salem State made the event even more special.  The addition of Orff instruments allowed a portion of our General Music students to also participate in the concert.  Our Spring Concert is scheduled for May 6 at the Williams Auditorium.  Please mark your calendar for what should be a celebration of our students’ talent and hard work.
