Happy Monday Trailblazers!
On Friday May 27th the 5th Graders on Track 1 celebrated their time in elementary school. What an honor it was see them shine as they walked across the stage! Students in Grades K-4 also celebrated a year of learning and success with classroom celebrations and grade level events. A big "thank you" goes out to parent volunteers and organizers of these events. Your efforts made the last day of school for these students so special.
This week we continue on with instruction for students on Tracks 2-4 along with EOG testing. Teachers are working on instruction with their final standards. Students are working to complete projects and learn as much as they can before our testing window begins. As a reminder, we are a tight schedule for EOG testing beginning tomorrow June 16th and ending on June 20th. These dates are students taking the regular EOG, as well as the NC Extend 2.
Remember that scores will be mailed home from the Testing Office this year due to the changes in the scoring from DPI. A Parent Letter will be included that explains the new scoring system. Scores and the parent letters will be sent home in June for students on Track 1 and early July for students on Tracks 2-4. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding the EOG's or the score sheets.

The last two weeks will be busy here at Banks. Please make sure if you are volunteering, planning to have lunch or attend a classroom activity that you check in with the office to secure a visitor's badge. Our safety and security measures are in place each day--even on the last day of school. :)
That's it Trailblazers! This information will go out on the Principal's Desk blog and be posted to the homepage of our school website. Please call the school if you have any questions about this information.
