On Monday, I visited Laurel Park Elementary. There were two exciting events happening-the Pre-K and ECS End of Year Celebration and the 5th grade Moving Up Carpool Ceremony. On Tuesday, I attended the Salem Elementary 5th grade Carpool Promotion Ceremony. Congratulations to all the 5th graders! On Wednesday, I visited Weatherstone Elementary. The third day of Camp WCPSS was underway. It was great to see all the students and staff. On Thursday, I attended the Raleigh Chamber Partners Forum. To access the agenda of the forum, click here.

This week as a Board, we had no meetings.

Next week as a Board, we have the following meetings (Please remember that these meetings will be streamed live on the WCPSS YouTube Channel.):

  • Monday, June 28th at 3 pm: Student Achievement Committee. 

  • Tuesday, June 29th at 3 pm: Policy Committee.
*At the time of this blog entry, no agendas were posted. Once the agendas are posted, they will be available at this link. 

If you would like to attend either of the committee meetings, no sign up is required.

On Thursday, I attended Cary High School's Midyear Graduation. It was an honor to be able to celebrate the graduates' accomplishments. Congrats grads and families! On Friday and Saturday, I had planned to attend the WCPSS Cheer Competition (Middle and High School) at Green Hope High School; however, due to WCPSS canceling all extracurricular activities on Saturday, the event has been postponed.
