Message from Mr. Childers

January 22, 2023

 

Hello Parents,

 

This is Tom Childers contacting you from Antioch Elementary. Students will not have school on Friday, January 27th due to a teacher workday. We are one week away from the beginning of the second semester. Our staff continues to work diligently to grow students. The second semester provides an extended period of time to support student learning. I will be meeting with teachers to discuss each student's proficiency and growth during the first semester. We remain dedicated to providing a urgent and differentiated approach. I ask parents to continue to communicate with your child's teacher(s) and make sure that your child is arriving at school on time each day.

 

Come bring your family and friends to see Antioch Elementary’s production of “Annie JR”! Performances are Friday, February 3rd at 7pm and Saturday, February 4th at 2pm. All performances are at Weddington High School.  Tickets are $5 with cash or check at the door or click on the link below to pre-purchase your tickets online. Admission is free for UCPS employees and children under 5. We hope to see you there!
