Family Engagement Survey - Link Added:  WCPSS is sponsoring a survey to gather information from parents about the working relationship between school and parents and hopes for the future. From April 2-May 4, Wake parents are invited to participate in a survey that will be emailed from Panorama Education.  The intent is to gather information that will help us build stronger partnerships. Please be on the lookout for this email and share your insight with us. https://surveys.panoramaed.com/wakecounty/2419076962

Review

June 11:  The Board of Education has cancelled this day as a student school day.  The last day for school is now back to June 8th.

Seniors and Parents:  Make sure you are looking at the scholarship opportunities online through our school website.

Preparations for Graduation and End-of-Year Events  Well, we are really gearing up for graduation and end-of-year events as they require lots of planning.  

Parent Meeting for Graduation:  April 23rd 6-7 PM

All fees must be cleared for seniors:  May 11th

Prom at Raleigh’s CAM (Contemporary Art Museum):  May 19th

Onsite Graduation/Awards Practice:  May 23rd

Senior Awards:  May 24th at 8 AM

Graduation Rehearsal at Raleigh Convention Center: May 30th at 6 PM

Baccalureate at Wake Tech’s North Campus:  June 2nd

Graduation:  June 8th at 8 PM

Graduation Attire:  We continue to need white dress shirts, black ties, black pants and black dress shoes for our young men who either are in need or come dressed inappropriately.  For young ladies, we can surely use black flats or black pumps.

College Acceptance and Scholarship Notifications:  Please remind your Ram to share that information with his or her counselor.

CCP and Wake Tech:  Students who are interested in earning college credits at Wake Tech while still enrolled in high school may learn about the CCP program at ccp.waketech.edu.   Information sessions will be held on both Wake Tech's north and south campuses beginning late February through May 15. Students will need to register on the website to attend the mandatory information session.

Planning ahead for current juniors:  In the past few summers, seniors have taken portraits at a studio in Raleigh.  We have been in conversation this past week and are very likely going to host tux/drape, cap and gown, informals at RHS during the week of July 30-Aug. 3 as opposed to a studio off site.  I wanted to give you a heads up that we are trying to make the trip shorter and the effort easier to accomplish over the summer. There will be more information to come later, but I thought it would be important to let you know given it is a shift in the way we have done business in the past.
