March into Literacy:

  • As you may remember, last March we had our Literacy Safari which included hall decorations, read alouds, and other fun activities. Unfortunately, we missed out, among other things, on the mayor’s read-aloud and a presentation by the NC Zoo due to being closed for COVID. 
  • This year, we’re back at it as we “March into a Culture of Literacy.” We’ll be integrating literacy and the arts, including activities with the MARCHing band, dancing with books, studying visual arts, dressing up, and other literacy fun. Stay tuned!

Book Fair:

K-5th Grade Families:

  • Attendance taken for “in-person” learning is taken daily. If your student will be absent from school and they are scheduled for “in-person” learning, they will be marked “absent”. They are not able to “go remote” on the days they are absent. You will need to provide an excuse note if they are not able to attend on campus for learning. Students scheduled for “in-person” learning are expected to be on campus daily from 8:00 A.M. until 12:00 P.M.

Testing Results:

  • All Check-In 2 results are now available.  On Monday, March 8th – we will send home test scores from Check-In 2 to all the 3rd/4th/5th grade students, please check their book bags.

Parents of students enrolled in ACC courses:

  • Parents, as a reminder, if you have students enrolled in college courses through ACC, you will need to check in with your student in order to monitor their academic progress. The ACC instructors are not allowed to discuss your student’s academic progress/struggles with you unless your student signs off on the FERPA form that will grant permission for the college to share information with you. This document can be found by calling the College and Career Promise office at ACC. You can also have your child log in and show you their progress. Clover Garden School is only made aware of mid-term grades and finals. ACC is a completely independent program and is not affiliated with CGS’ policies and procedures in regards to parent portals, etc. to view student grades/scores. Please contact Mrs. Nina, our school’s registrar if you have questions at ninamiller@cgsnc.org. 

Parents of Seniors:

  • Please check your emails each Sunday for updates for your senior as we get closer and closer to graduation this school year! There are lots of exciting things planned for your senior and we are excited to be able to celebrate with them at the end of the school year! The emails will have important dates/information available periodically throughout the remainder of the school year. If you have any questions, please reach out to our senior advisors Ms. Peel and Mr. Cheek at abigailpeel@cgsnc.org or jasoncheek@cgsnc.org.
