Good afternoon Piedmont families,
This is Principal Eley with this week’s announcements. This week our students will be taking the reading assessment through NC-Test. Please be sure to have your child check his/her email first thing on Monday morning. They will be receiving an important email from Mrs. Michelle Gray containing their Reading Assessment access code. Each student has a unique code. All students will take the assessment on their “at-home”, remote learning days. Students can check out their ELA teacher’s Canvas page for more details.
We want to make sure our families are aware of our free breakfast and lunch programs. One complimentary breakfast and lunch are available every day in the school cafeteria. Extra entrees and additional snacks and drinks are also available for purchase daily. One complimentary lunch and snack are available every day for all children 18 years and younger at any of the 8 curbside locations. Friday curbside service includes 3 complimentary lunches and 3 complimentary snacks to be enjoyed over the weekend. Complimentary meals are free of charge for the remainder of the school year.I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend! As always, please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.
