Upcoming events

We are so excited for our annual Math and Science night tomorrow night – remember K-2 begins at 6:15 and 3-5 begins at 7:30. We hope to see you here! We have Early Release this Friday (we dismiss at 1:15) and school is closed for everyone in honor of Veteran’s Day on Monday, November 11. Tomorrow, the NC End of Grade test scores are going to be released. As you have probably heard, throughout the state, we expect all scores to be significantly lower due to the higher requirements for proficiency, but this does not mean that suddenly our students are not performing well. In fact, the growth data that has been released shows that Willow Springs has again exceeded expectations for student growth. We will be sending individual results and more information to you when we receive individual student scores, which we expect in December. For now, we are going to use this new proficiency score as a baseline for the new test and work hard to meet the new targets. We will gauge our success as we compare our scores to the state and the county, and I feel sure that we will measure up favorably when compared to both. I will be having a short informational meeting for any parents who are interested in finding out more about these test scores on Wednesday morning, November 13, at 9:15 in our cafeteria.
