Note from the Teacher

            Welcome to the fifth grade! We are off to a good start.   The kids are enthusiastic and eager to tackle the new school year!  I, too, am excited and look forward to the work and growth we will all accomplish as a class.

             Always feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you might have. My classroom door is always open. You can call and leave a message for me in the front office, or you can shoot me an email.   WCDS: 919-736-1045  email:dcreger@waynecountryday.com
            As the school year begins, I want to remind all parents during drop off and pick up times to drive slowly, stay in your car, pay attention to the teachers while loading students, and please DO NOT park or drive on the grassy areas. Thank you for your support, your child's safety is most important.
           One final note, thank you for paying special attention to ordering your child's Chromebook covers, getting earbuds, and returning in paperwork. We started using them today!

            Thanks again for all of your help, support, and patience during these first few weeks of school.
