Good evening Third Grade Parents only,

As part of the Read to Achieve law passed by the General Assembly in 2012, your child will take the Beginning-of-Grade 3 (BOG3) English Language Arts/Reading Test to establish a baseline measure of his or her reading skills.

The BOG3 will be administered on Thursday , September 10. Following the test administration, you will receive an Individual Student Report with your child’s score. The report will be available through the Parent Portal on Thursday, October 4.

If you are unable to access the Parent Portal, please contact your child’s school to request a hard copy of the report.

A copy of the BOG3 letter that your child will bring home this week is attached to this email for your reference.

Thank you for your continued support of your child’s education.

What a fantastic first week at Alexander Wilson! Thank you for your patience and support as we navigated the new Weapons Detection System, our new bus app, and usual back-to-school routines.

Please note the following arrival procedures for tomorrow:

Drop-Off: ALL students must arrive via the car line or school bus moving forward. Parents are not permitted to walk students into the building during morning arrival unless you have direct permission from Dr. Westmoreland.

Tardies (7:55 AM – 8:10 AM): Students arriving during this window are considered tardy. Please park in the front or side lot, walk your child through the Weapons Detection System at the side entrance (brown awning), and check them in at the main office.

Late Arrivals (After 8:10 AM): All entry shifts exclusively to the main front doors (white awning). Late arrivals/guardians/visitors will still have to walk through the Weapons Detections System.

Let's make it a fabulous Friday!

Good evening bus parents. We wanted to let you know that there are a couple changes to two routes starting tomorrow morning. If your child's bus number and time has changed, they will have a letter. This will only impact a small amount of students from bus 53. The areas that are impacted are the George Bason Rd/Quarry Rd and Country Club Trail/Pebble Drive. For bus 192 students, this will minimally impact your time (maybe up to 10 minutes). For bus 53, this may cause the bus to be 10-15 minutes different from the recent times for a small group of students. This starts tomorrow morning. This does not impact bus 24/155 or bus 88.

Parents, the Here Comes the Bus app has had several issues. We are hoping these issues will resolve in the first few weeks of school. We have gotten several reports of issues and we are very sorry for this. All the things you are doing is right but it is not working perfectly. We apologize and hope it will work correctly soon.
