Week of May 11, 2026
Nighthawk Families,
- Happy Mother's Day to all of our Nighthawk mothers and those that serve in that role to our students!
- This is the last week: We hope you will take action based on applications in this newsletter. We want and need your input on the yearly Panorama Parent Survey linked below.
- This Thursday is our Spring Band Concert. We hope you can join us in the gym to hear the wonderful work of our Nighthawk students!
- We need the assistance of our school community! As we enter YEAR 5 and we continue to create our Nighthawk Legacy, our athletic team's uniforms and equipment are showing wear and tear from the first 4 years of our school. We are in GREAT NEED of donations to purchase new equipment and uniforms. Each year the school system provides enough funding to assist in paying for basics but it is not enough to maintain all equipment and definitely not purchase new uniforms. Please consider sharing the information in this newsletter with friends, family and business owners as no donation is too small. Every donation adds up to support our Nighthawk students. THANK YOU!
For your planning purposes, the EOG/EOC Testing Schedule can be found here. It is the expectation of the state of NC for all students to attend school and take these tests. The results are part of your student's permanent academic record.
Many updates, calendar dates, and information are available for your review and information below. Please be sure to scroll and read the entire newsletter.
With appreciation for your support and partnership as we are #RootedtoRISE in Year 4,
Anne Marie Adkins
Principal
