East Cary Middle School

East Cary YR Middle School is very pleased to announce that we will be offering Drama as an elective to our 6th through 8th grade students in 2013-14. This new elective will be offered in conjunction to all our regular electives and our STEM electives. Rising 6th graders will get a form to submit their preference for the Drama elective when they attend our late May Orientation/Open House. We will also be offering Science Olympiad as a club pursuit.

East Cary Middle School students will participate in End-of-Grade (EOG) and Measures of Student Learning (MSL) assessments in May (Track 1) and June (Tracks 2, 3 & 4)!

We will have a busy testing season this year and need as many volunteer proctors as possible to help out. Please contact East Cary at 466-4377 or stop by the main office to register. We appreciate your ongoing support of our staff and students.

 **To be a proctor during test time, you must register as a volunteer. **

East Cary, a STEM and PBIS "Model School", has been receiving parent requests for school tours with regard to the next school year. Dr. Chisnall and/or ECMS staff will give a parent tour on the following date:

May 21, 2013 at 8:00 a.m.

If you intend on attending this tour, please call the school at 919-466-4377 or email our principal, Dr. Chisnall, at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Dr. Chisnall wants to thank all those that supported his fundraising efforts for the NC Special Olympics. Our Principal raised $1400, exceeding the $1000 goal, which meant we got to send him "over the edge' on the morning of October 6. Dr. Chisnall successfully rappelled the 32 story Wells Fargo Building and while he admits to some nerves he adds the experience was a total thrill and it was great to be able to support the Special Olympics. There was a great turnout by ECMS staff, students and their families.
