Good afternoon, Pirate families,

This is Dr. Woods-Weeks calling with the weekly update. Wow! It is hard to believe that summer has end! And what a busy summer it was.

A heartfelt thank you to our Booster Club, parents, administrators, faculty/staff, students, and everyone who came out to make our Open House/Back to school night a spectacular event. None of this would be possible without you.

We are super excited about the beginning of the new school year. The first day of school for students is Monday, August 28, 2023. School begins each day at 9:15 a.m. and ends at 4:15 p.m. Students will not be allowed to enter the building until 8:45 a.m. Breakfast and lunch will be served daily. Breakfast is free for all students.

On Monday, all students will report to their first period class. Schedules will be distributed by teachers in first period. To assist with identifying your first period class, student names and first period teacher names are posted in the main hallway upstairs and the main hallway downstairs.

Bus routes can be accessed online by using your student ID number located on your power school schedule and last name. For bus transportation, please go to www.dpsnc.net to determine your bus route, bus number, pick up, and drop off time. You will need your student ID to access the website.

Riverside athletics are back in full effect. August 30th, our Soccer team will host Cary High School.

Students, show your school spirit by wearing our school colors on Friday. Roll Pirates Roll!!!!
Thank you.
