Note from the Teacher

         Welcome to the fifth grade! We are off to a good start. Thank you parents for all of your help!  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 leave a message for me in the front office, call me 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, please pay special attention to the Chromebook agreement information as well as Power School student login paperwork found in your child's Friday folder.
