Welcome to Cary Elementary School located in the heart of Cary, NC, an elementary school rich in history, acclaimed for academic achievement, and bright with promise.
For parents: Understanding your student’s new report card
WCPSS uses standards-based grading for report cards. The purpose of the report card is to inform parents about a student’s performance on the grade level standards. All elementary students receive a report at the end of each nine-week reporting period. The elementary report card provides one way for the teacher to communicate with the student and parent about the student's success in meeting the state standards for that grade and reporting on the student's classroom behavior and work habits. A guide showing parents how to interpret the report cards is available by clicking here. Watch the video below for more information. 
Thank you to all our volunteers for helping make our book fair a success. Through the All for Books program we were able to put books into the hands over 100 students at Cary Elementary. We added over 125 titles from the fair to our Media Center and planning on adding even more as the year goes on with the rest of the fair profit.

Cary Elementary Parent vs. Staff Football Game
Thanks to everyone who came out to spectate or play in the Parent-Staff Football game. While the Cary Elementary staff edged out the parents, it was a beautiful night and a great time was had by all. 
Please remember that all volunteers for last year who will continue to volunteer in 2013-14, must renew their status by Oct. 30 in the online volunteer system. The system can only be assessed by Wake County computers but it is open 24/7 now until Oct. 31. Super Staff from Lori Cavaco on Vimeo.

Cary Elementary's Lego Club has had a wonderful start this year! At our second meeting, club members were challenged to create something demonstrating kinetic energy. We ended up with an awesome assortment of vehicles, carousels, tops, and gadgets. Thank you to Mrs. Gupton for allowing us to use her room to learn, imagine, and create during our Lego Club meetings.
