Thank you to the families who “chalked the walk” with encouraging messages this weekend. We love these “pawsitive” messages. #unleashthepawsitivity @ScottsRidgeES @sreapexpta

What a week for kindergarten teacher, Ms. McDaniel! A birthday, an engagement, an Apex teacher-of-the year event, and now WRAL Teacher of the Week! Ms. McDaniel is an incredible teacher and person, and we couldn’t be happier for her! @ScottsRidgeES

We want to thank our SRES families for their patience with bus and carpool dismissal at the start of (every) year. We are teaching our little ones and new students the procedures now to keep everyone accounted for, but it will get progressively faster. Thank you! @ScottsRidgeES
