Fuller Falcon Reminders - April 24, 2026

Greetings Fuller Falcon Families, 

Thank you so much for helping make our Multicultural Night such a special and memorable event! Your willingness to volunteer, share your cultures, and simply show up to learn from one another is what makes our Fuller community so strong.

We loved seeing our families come together—celebrating traditions, connecting across cultures, and creating such a joyful atmosphere for our students. A special thank you to everyone who contributed displays, shared artifacts, supported behind the scenes, and helped make the night run smoothly.

And of course, we truly enjoyed our amazing performers! Their talent, pride, and energy brought the night to life and made the experience even more meaningful for everyone in attendance. Thank you again for being such an important part of our school community. We are grateful for each of you and proud to be Fuller Falcons. 

 

The following our important reminders:

🎯 Fuller Families—We Need YOUR Voice! 🗣️💙

We’re getting closer, but we need your help this weekend!

Our goal: 300 survey responses by May 15
Your feedback helps us improve and better support every Fuller student.

📅 Take the survey: April 6 – May 15

💦 Incentive: Soak Mr. Hernandez!
If we reach 300 responses, every student gets to throw a wet sponge at Principal Hernandez!

Let’s also go for some bragging rights! 

We want Fuller Magnet to be one of the top schools in the WCPSS Central Area with the highest number of parent survey responses. Help us boost our numbers and take the win—every survey gets us closer!

Fuller “RETESTING” EOG Update (Grades 3–5)

 

North Carolina requires all eligible students to take state End-of-Grade (EOG) and End-of Course (EOC) tests each year. Students in grades 3–8 take EOG tests in reading and math, and in science in grades 5 and 8.  Fuller students will take EOG tests on May 29, June 1, and June 2.

This year, students who score “Not Proficient” on their state assessment will have the opportunity to take the test a second time. This retest gives students another chance to demonstrate their learning and growth. Retests for students who opt in will be administered on June 3-11. 

While we encourage you to consider allowing your student to participate in retesting if they qualify, please know that participation in retesting is completely voluntary and requires parent/guardian permission. 

If you would like your student to have this opportunity to retest in the event that they score “Not Proficient” on their first attempt, please complete this Google Form on or before Friday, May 22, 2026.

If you have any questions about retesting or state assessments, please contact Dr. Stanford at kstanford@wcpss.net.

Thank you for your continued support of your child’s learning.

 

Carolina del Norte exige que todos los estudiantes elegibles presenten anualmente las pruebas estatales de fin de grado (EOG) y fin de curso (EOC). Los estudiantes de 3.º a 8.º grado presentan las pruebas EOG de lectura y matemáticas, y los de 5.º y 8.º grado, las de ciencias. Los estudiantes de Fuller presentarán las pruebas EOG el 29 de mayo, el 1 y el 2 de junio.

Este año, los estudiantes que obtengan una calificación de "No competente" en la evaluación estatal tendrán la oportunidad de presentar la prueba por segunda vez. Esta repetición les brinda otra oportunidad para demostrar su aprendizaje y progreso. Las repeticiones para los estudiantes que opten por participar se administrarán del 3 al 11 de junio.

Si bien les animamos a considerar la posibilidad de que su hijo/a participe en la repetición de la prueba si cumple con los requisitos, les informamos que la participación es completamente voluntaria y requiere el permiso de los padres o tutores legales.

Si desea que su hijo/a tenga la oportunidad de repetir la prueba en caso de obtener una calificación de "No competente" en su primer intento, complete este formulario de Google antes del viernes 22 de mayo de 2026.

Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre la repetición de la prueba o las evaluaciones estatales, comuníquese con la Dra. Stanford a kstanford@wcpss.net.

Gracias por su continuo apoyo al aprendizaje de su hijo/a.
