I hope everyone has had a safe and relaxing summer. It is hard to believe that 1st through 5th grade students will return to school next Monday. Teachers have been hard at work preparing for the best school year yet. The hustle and bustle in the hallways is so exciting.
Open House for grades 1 through 5 is this Thursday, August 20th. Open House is a floating event. It is a chance for students and their families to meet their teachers, see their classrooms, meet enhancement teachers, sign up for Before School Care or YMCA After School Program, fill out important paperwork, drop off school supplies, and get bus and carpool information. Families with the last names A-L should come between 4:30 and 5:30. Families with the last names M-Z should come between 6:00 and 7:00.
We are excited to see everyone on Thursday. Also, we are excited to welcome our newest Kindergarten Racers. Our Kindergarten Open House is on Monday, August 24th from 5:15-6:30.
We hope everyone has a great evening, and remember, once a Racer, always a Racer.

During the July 14th regular scheduled meeting, the JC Board of Education approved revisions to Policy Code 4304: Code of Student Conduct.
There was special attention to Section F. 36, which provides governance for the "Possession, Display, Use, Sale or Distribution of Vapes".
Revisions define vapes and expresses that there will be a 10-day suspension for any student in violation of the code.
We strongly encourage parents to speak with your child(ren) regarding the details of the policy and the consequences moving forward.
Please know that the Johnston County Board of Education strives to mitigate health and safety concerns related to harmful substances such as tobacco products and/or vapes. The revised verbiage and the associated penalties have been set to achieve this goal.
