Good afternoon Western Alamance Middle School families,
We hope you had a restful and relaxing weekend. Please take a moment to review the updates below.
Check Ins: On Monday, April 20, we will administer the 6-8 Math and Math 1 NC Check Ins. On Tuesday, April 21 we will administer the 8th Grade Science Check-In. Check-Ins are interim assessments aligned to North Carolina grade-level content standards developed by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI). The main purpose of NC Check-Ins is to provide students, teachers, and parents with immediate data and a reliable estimate of students’ current performance on the selected content standards. It is extremely important that your student arrives at school on time to ensure that our test administration is not interrupted.
PTO: 8th grade parents--if you would like to have your child's baby picture included in the slideshow at the formal, please email the picture with the student's name to dana_sherwood@abss.k12.nc.us by May 22. Late entries will not be accepted.
Tickets to the 8th grade formal will be sold until May 22. Tickets are $35 and a dinner will be provided. The formal is Thursday, June 4 at Lakeview Community Church from 5:30-8. Dinner is served from 5:45-6:15. Desserts and drinks will be provided during the entire event.
Spring Picture Day: Spring Picture Day is moved from April 20, 2026 to the first week of May at Western Alamance Middle School.
EOG/EOC Retesting Opportunity: Beginning the 2025-2026 school year, students who score Not Proficient on an End-of-Grade (EOG) and/or End-of-Course (EOC) assessment are eligible for one retest opportunity per subject each school year. Retesting provides students an additional opportunity to demonstrate academic growth and progress. For EOC courses, the highest score earned will count as the exam grade.
In order for a student to retake an exam, parent/guardian consent is required. Please complete the Retesting Consent Form linked below to grant permission for your child to participate in retesting if needed. Families will be contacted after exam results are received if their child scores Not Proficient and is eligible for a retest opportunity.
