WS/FCS is starting a new program to improve student behavior, ensure safety, and introduce clear incentives and consequences for riding the bus. If your child rides the bus, please review the new R.I.D.E.S. expectations and Bus Discipline Matrix together (linked below). It's important that parents and students understand and commit to these guidelines. After reviewing, please complete the Google form below. Thank you for helping us create a safe and respectful bus experience!

Ms. Pardue and Ms. Ward will be going into 8th grade classes soon to start registering students for High School! To get a headstart, visit the Student Services webpage and check out the High School Registration Books.

As we prepare for student registration in January, I wanted to share important details about eligibility for accelerated classes. Students will begin registering for next year's classes during their social studies classes.

Eligibility for Accelerated ELA/Math
Students are eligible if they meet one or more of the following criteria:

• Academically Gifted (AG) certification
• Score a Level 5 on the EOG
• Score a Level 4 on the EOG and maintain an A average in their current ELA class

Eligibility for Math 1
Students must:

• Complete Accelerated Math 7 with an A or B
• Score a Level 4 or higher on the EOG
• Receive a positive teacher recommendation

Automatic Placement
If a student not currently in accelerated math or ELA scores a Level 5 on the EOG, they will automatically be scheduled into the corresponding accelerated class for the next school year. Families who prefer for their child not to participate in accelerated courses must opt out in writing.

We are excited to guide students in choosing the best courses for their success. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. (kwpardue@wsfcs.k12.nc.us)

Reminders for Home Basketball Games:

• Students may staff after in the KMS cafeteria directly after school and then attend the KMS games.
• Students not staying after in the KMS cafeteria must be accompanied in by their parent/guardian to purchase their ticket.
• Students not picked up by 5pm or immediately upon the end of the last game (whichever comes last) will not be able to stay for any games for the remainder of the season.
• Students who were in ISS, assigned OSS, or where absent for the day are inelligible to stay for any after school events.

• Students not picked up on time for extracurricular events will not be able to stay after school.
• ALL visitors, substitutes, and volunteers at Kernersville Middle must show a valid government-issued ID (Driver’s License/DMV ID card) before being buzzed into the building and then will need to sign in at the main office.
• Parent/guardians eating lunch with their student(s) will need to sit outside at the picnic tables due to limited seating in the cafeteria. Parents/Guardians will only be allowed to eat with or bring lunch for their own student(s). We cannot distribute food to other students - even for birthdays.
• School starts at 7:25 am. If students are not in their homeroom by 7:25 am, they will be marked tardy. A sign indicating students are now tardy will be placed outside. At that time, the person bringing them to school must come into the office to sign the student in.
• Students signing out of school early must be signed out before 1:30 pm. We will not sign students out after 1:30 pm unless previously arranged and approved in writing.
