The Meadow Message: November 2nd

Dear Parent/Guardian:

I hope the school year has started successfully for all of you.  As a parent/guardian of a student in Wolf Meadow Elementary School, I am writing this letter to let you know that Wolf Meadow Elementary School has been designated as a Targeted Support & Improvement Additional Targeted Support (TSI-AT) school by the North Carolina State Board of Education.  As stated in ESSA Section 1111(d)(2), North Carolina had to identify schools for targeted support and improvement. TSI-AT schools in North Carolina are those that have a subgroup that is under-performing. The intent of this opportunity is to improve educational outcomes for all students, close achievement gaps, increase equity, and improve the quality of instruction. 

As a TSI-AT school, Wolf Meadow Elementary School is required to develop a comprehensive plan that specifically addresses how the school will improve student achievement. The plan will also include how our district will support us and monitor the progress of our school.  The comprehensive plan will address the following areas:

Family and Community Engagement

Parent engagement is at the heart of our school improvement efforts. Here are some ways we can work together:

Here are some resources available to help:

Sincerely,

Brian Dulin

Cabarrus County Schools is proud to introduce Future Makers, a districtwide employee recognition initiative that celebrates the dedicated individuals who make a lasting difference in the lives of students and families.

Inspired by the district's strategic plan, Destination 27, and this year's theme, "Your Future, Our Focus," Future Makers highlights employees whose daily actions help create exceptional learning environments, strengthen relationships, support colleagues, and advance student success.

Community members, parents, students, and employees are invited to submit nominations recognizing CCS team members who exemplify service, excellence, innovation, and commitment. From teachers and school leaders to transportation, child nutrition, maintenance, technology, and support staff, Future Makers shines a spotlight on the people whose work helps shape the future of Cabarrus County.

Through this initiative, CCS seeks to celebrate the extraordinary contributions of employees who make an impact every day and reinforce a culture of appreciation across the district.

You can nominate someone by visiting this site: https://forms.gle/GYPHSXpGiBCPZsXZ6

This week, our school community will focus on the Other People Mindset of Knowing That My Words and Actions Affect Others, which means having an awareness that everything that we say and do can affect others — and our relationships with them.

Whether we speak, email, text, or post, our words and actions can have a positive or negative effect. The words and actions we choose can lift others up or bring them down, and they also impact us. When we all think carefully about our words and actions and show respect and care for those around us, we create a happier and healthier community.

To practice and encourage this Other People Mindset at home, please visit The Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families (available in English and Spanish), where you will watch a video together and discuss a quote and three questions. Below are links to this week’s P2 for Families lessons. Click on the grade level that best meets your child’s needs.
