Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students will be taking their End-of-Grade (EOG) tests this week.  Here are some tips for parents to follow:

• Make sure your child arrives at school on time all days, especially testing days.  Remember “Every Minute Counts.”
• Have your child get a good night’s sleep before all tests.
• Feed your child a hearty breakfast to stimulate their brain.
• Encourage your child to use all of their strategies on the EOG tests.
• Have your child dress in layers as the temperature will fluctuate in the classrooms.
• Make sure your child brings anything they need for testing such as glasses.
• Testing can be stressful so give your child a hug and an encouraging word each day during testing.

EOG tests are taking place the week of May 13th – 17th.

On February 21st 2019 William H. Owen students and staff put on a wonderful performance. Thank you Ms. Knight and Ms. Walton for putting together a wonderful show. Also, thank you Westover High School’s and Reid Ross’ chorus for performing and Douglas Byrd High Schools’ Drumline. 

Congratulations to Johana Licona for coming in first place in the Region IV Science Fair at UNC Pembroke.
