What a week! I know so many tears were shed in my house this week as we grieved not being able to say good-bye to friends and staff in person. It sounds like many households were the same, especially in 5th grade.
Thank you for your perseverance and support during this unusual year! Although it has been challenging, I think we have shown the strength of our community by being there for each other and by supporting our incredible staff. Boy, do they deserve a nice restful summer!!!
During the summer, this weekly email will slow down to about once a month. Information about how you can add families to this email list or remove yourself from these emails is at the bottom.
We wish you a safe summer!

We Want to Hear from You
Survey from Mr. Propst
Digital learning is not likely to disappear from your child's learning experience. Please help us in creating the best remote learning experience possible. I welcome your feedback about how we did this spring. Please take a few moments to complete this short survey about remote learning. Thank you in advance.

Wake County Public Schools -- Thought Exchange
To help inform this important planning for the new year, WCPSS Superintendent Moore is asking all families to join us in a virtual conversation about reopening schools.
You can participate here: www.wcpss.net/thoughtexchange
You'll be asked to respond to one open-ended question, consider and assign stars to some of the ideas shared by others and learn what's important to the group.
Your thoughts and stars are confidential. You can come back as often as you'd like to participate and rate ideas. We’ll use these ratings along with results from last month’s Remote Learning survey to help us understand the most important areas to focus on as we work on plans for the new school year.
Participation will be open until June 19.
Did You Forget to Order a Yearbook?
