Our first graders at West Carroll Primary are hitting some impressive reading milestones! 📚 Through the "Sight Word Challenge," these students stepped up to tackle word lists from higher grade levels.

The results were fantastic: 42% mastered the second-grade list, and almost 20% reached the third-grade level! We celebrated their hard work with popsicles and pizza, but the real win is seeing their dedication to becoming stronger readers. Way to go, WCP! 🍕🍦

Our Middle College Program continues to grow at West Carroll. Through our partnership with Jackson State Community College, students have the opportunity to begin taking college-level courses during their junior year with the goal of graduating high school with an associate degree already completed.

We’re excited to recognize both our returning and new cohorts in the program. This year, we have 4 current juniors continuing into their senior year and 7 upcoming juniors enrolling in the program for the first time.

We’re proud of these students for challenging themselves and taking advantage of opportunities that will help prepare them for success beyond high school.

"I've got no worries about 6th grade. It was fun." - Eli Joyner, rising 6th grade student. That about sums up Move Up Day at West Carroll. 🎒

Move Up Day gave West Carroll Elementary students a chance to step into next year a little early. They visited new classrooms, met the teachers they'll see in August, and took part in short lessons along the way. Each student carried a passport to jot down what they learned and what they're looking forward to.

For rising sixth graders, the day was all about getting comfortable with middle school. Current sixth graders looked back on their time in the building and started thinking about what's next. Our 6th grade students will visit the junior high this week.

West Carroll Elementary welcomed incoming third graders and their families for Move Up Night on May 12!

Families had the chance to tour the school, meet teachers, and get a firsthand look at what to expect in third grade at the Trezevant campus. With support from both WCES and WCP staff, the evening highlighted the strong sense of community that helps make every transition a successful one. WCP Second Grade Teachers and WCP principal attended as a familiar face and to encourage their learners as they transition to third grade.

A favorite moment of the night was hearing from current third graders, who shared that while the move can feel a little nerve-wracking at first, it quickly becomes fun with great teachers, new opportunities, and even a few third-grade perks along the way.

At West Carroll, a new building still means the same school family. 💙📚

IMPORTANT UPDATE regarding Spring ACT Scores:
Based on its continual evaluation of scores, ACT has informed us that it needs to reissue scores for students who took the ACT online during the school day this spring. If you are among those students, your current score will be removed from your MyACT account on Wednesday, May 13. When scores are available again (no later than June 2), your Composite score and section scores will remain the same OR go up slightly based on your individual performance. Your scores will NOT be lower than what was previously released. There is no action you need to take. ACT will post revised scores on MyACT and will be resending scores to your school. If you previously opted to send scores via ACT to a college, university, or scholarship-awarding organization, they, too, will be sent any updated scores.

Field Day at West Carroll Elementary was a day full of teamwork and friendly competition. The weather was perfect for students and families to enjoy events like relay races, tug of war, dodgeball, and more.

One of the highlights was the student appreciation station, where students cooled off with snow cones and captured memories with friends. It was the perfect way to celebrate a successful school year together! 🎉
