Informational flyers are found in this message, under the News Section of our website, and have been sent to scholars' emails.
Good evening, Eagle Families!
This is Principal McGeachy with your updates. Although this will be a short week for our scholars, we have quite a few things happening this week:
First, there are no classes for scholars on Monday and Tuesday as we observe Fall Break. We will welcome scholars back to school on Wednesday, October 11th.
Senior portraits for the Class of 2024 will be taken on Monday, October 9th. Scholars should report to the school at their appointed time to take their photos. Mrs. Edwards will be on-site to assist.
The D Building Parking Lot is scheduled to be reopened on Wednesday, October 11th. You may resume picking up your scholar from that parking lot during dismissal.
Our 10th-grade scholars will take the Pre-ACT on Thursday, Oct. 12th. This is a required test, so please ensure that scholars are in attendance.
Grad Bash ’24 Parent Information Session: On Thursday at 6:00 p.m. in the Science & Technology Bldg. Auditorium, we will provide information to the parents of our graduating scholars on this year’s planned end-of-year trip to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
For scholars taking EOC Courses (Eng II, Biology, Math I, and Math 3), NCPS has revised the promotion standards for high school students. Scholars who are not proficient on EOC tests will receive an Incomplete as their final grade. Those scholars will need to participate in the Summer Learning Opportunity testing session at the end of the school year to have an opportunity to remove the Incomplete. More information will be shared with you in the coming weeks.
Lastly, Report Cards will be available in PowerSchool on Friday, October 13th.
Continue to monitor our web page for additional updates and enjoy your evening!
Eagle Family: This is a reminder that car riders will be picked up in the Science & Technology Bldg. parking lot this afternoon at dismissal.
Eagle Families, I want to remind you that the D. Building Parking Lot will be closed on Oct. 5th and Oct. 6th. This means that scholars must be picked up from the Science and Technology (S&T) Parking lot on both dates. I have attached an aerial photograph for reference. Our staff will walk scholars over to the S&T Parking lot at dismissal each day. In the interest of safety, you are asked to park your vehicle and wait for your scholar to come to your car. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Regards, Principal McGeachy

Good evening, Eagle Families!
This is Principal McGeachy with your updates as we enter the month of October. I have several important items that I want to make you aware of:
· This week, scholars in all EOC classes will once again take NC Check-ins to help prepare them for EOC tests at the end of the semester. The check-ins are an integral part of classroom instruction, and therefore it is important for scholars to be in attendance.
· For those scholars who are car riders, the D Building parking lot will be closed on Thursday, Oct. 5th, and Friday, Oct. 6th. During dismissal on those two dates, scholars can be picked up from the Science and Technology Building parking lot. This parking lot is located near the Old Carriage Road entrance to the Nash Community College Campus.
· The grading period for the first nine weeks ends on Friday, October 6th.
· Lastly, the UNC System of colleges will be offering virtual Open House tours this week. A link containing participating colleges and their respective dates is available on our school’s web page.
Continue to monitor our web page for additional updates, and enjoy the rest of your evening.
