Eagle Recovery for Quarter 2 started last week. This program is designed to give supplemental content material to your child so that they may have the opportunity to change their failing Q2 grade(s) to a passing grade of a 60. We will be using an online format called Progress Learning so that they can work on the assignments at any time of the day. The online assignments will be available on January 15th, and your child must complete them with at least a 60% accuracy to be considered done. Your student(s) will need to stay after school on select Wednesday evenings from 4-6 p.m. to receive assistance from a content teacher. The deadline for these assignments is February 19th. Please open your emails from Ms. Chynna Wilson for more details about the program, the rest of the dates, and to fill out the transportation form."
The W. A. Perry School Counseling Department is gearing up to begin Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) conferences for all 8th grade students. Every student in grades 8-12 participate in these conferences to ensure their success in high school and prepare them for life after earning their high school diploma. Additional information is forthcoming regarding date, time, and location. If you have any questions or concerns, you may call the school at 803-256-6347 or email Dr. Darby @bernadette.darby@richlandone.org.
We kindly remind all families that consistent attendance during these final weeks is essential, as our students will be participating in important assessments before the break. Every day of instruction counts in preparing your student for these tests and ensuring they enter the holidays confident in their achievements. Classes start at 8:40 AM each day. Students arriving at school after 8:40 am should report to the Main Office and get a pass to class. Parents should sign in late students at the Main Office or send a note with the student explaining the tardy. Repeated tardies to school and/or class will be referred to the grade-level administrator.
Hi Parents! We are seeking your input in our efforts to improve and make everyone feel welcomed when visiting us. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Thank you.
In our AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) school-wide program, students are provided with a color-coded system for organizing their notebooks and materials. This organizational strategy helps students keep their academic materials orderly and makes it easier to locate information quickly. Each subject is assigned a specific color. Red (ELA), Yellow (Math), Green (Social Studies), Blue (Science), Black (Related Arts) This practice is part of W.A. Perry AVID’s broader focus on organizational skills, which are crucial for academic success.
If you See Something, Say Something. W.A. Perry challenges staff and students, alike, to "have each other's back" and to report any and all suspicious activity that can place someone in danger. One can Say Something by any of the following means:
-Telling a teacher
-Telling someone in the office
-Telling a parent
-Telling an administrator
This is a reminder to please turn in excuses for any absences for your child. If your child has a medical excuse, please turn that in when he or she arrives. Also, please remember that parents and guardians can write up to 10 letters/notes explaining the cause of an absence that can be coded as an excused absence. Please help us stay ahead of this issue by turning in excuses in a timely manner. Absence link: https://forms.office.com/r/isTxruv02P
