Carroll Families, please note that school is in session this week for all students and staff today, tomorrow and Wednesday. These are our snow make-up days and we are working. There will be no school on Thursday, March 26th and Friday, March 27th.
Parents last Wednesday we had an opportunity to practice our Lock Down drill procedures. Please make sure that you take an opportunity to stress to your children the importance and seriousness of these drill in keeping them safe. Also wish to remind students and parents that as the weather starts to get warmer, we typically start to see some of our students not always in dress code compliance. Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately before leaving each morning for school. If you are unsure about our dress code, please refer to front of our student agendas or website for further information or clarification. Because this is probably our last communication prior to the break beginning on Thursday, March 26th, we want to wish everyone a safe and happy break. That's all for now! Gooooooooo Cougars!

As we are planning our lessons and activities for next week March 23 -25th we wish to remind our Carroll families of the following statement made by Wake County Schools last week pertaining to the Spring Break make-up days: "WCPSS' intent is to provide maximum flexibility under the law and policies to parents, students, and schools, to minimize or eliminate the impact of any absences on scheduled makeup days, recognizing that many families may have travel plans or other conflicts.
· Students absent on makeup days will not suffer any impact on grades or academic credit solely as a result of these absences provided the students make up the missed assignments in a timely manner as established by the school. · For absences on makeup days, WCPSS will excuse the absences of students as allowed by Board policy and law, including for absences due to a valid educational opportunity such as travel (Form 1710 Request for Excused Absence for Educational Reasons). · Absences on the identified makeup days of March 23, 24, 25 will not be counted in determining whether high school seniors are exempt from non-State exams." This Tuesday, March 17th our 7th graders will be going to the NC Zoo located in Ashboro, NC. We know that they will have a wonderful time and will represent us well. Also on Tuesday, March 17th we will be welcoming our new magnet families to Carroll at our New Magnet Welcome Reception held in our Auditorium from 5-6pm.

Parents of 8th grade students. We again have an opportunity to participate in a STEM field trip experience to CISCO in RTP. The trip is this Thursday March 5th. We realize that this is last minute due to weather interruptions but we were not able to re-schedule the event. This was a very successful event that we were invited to attend last year. At this event, students will participate in the TelePresence and NERV Truck Demos, 1 to 1 Speed Mentoring with CISCO employees and Robotics and Circuit Building. CISCO will also be providing lunch. We can only take 100 students. Therefore, the first 100 students who complete their essay topic (given to them before the snow and today time was also allotted during LEAD for completion) and turn it in along with their signed permission slips will be allowed to attend (please see letter, permission slips and agenda coming home today). Please make sure you encourage your child to complete their essays and get the permission slips signed. Tuesday, March 3rd (tomorrow) at 2:30 will be our Club Photo day in the Auditorium. Wednesday, March 4th beginning at 7:30 am we will be conducting our CCC Awards Ceremony in the Auditorium. This is a re-scheduled event from last Wednesday. On Thursday, March 5th from 6:00-7:00pm WCPSS will be conducting the regional Spring Math Information Sessions in our Auditorium. Friday, March 6th will be our first snow make-up day in which our already scheduled Early Release will now be a full day. Spring sports tryouts and practices will begin this week.
