Panorama Survey: Parents please provide your feedback to Wake Early College of Information and Biotechnology by completing this survey. Your input will ensure that we continue to provide high quality, rigorous learning experiences for our students and prepare them for college and career. You will be able to take the survey online through May 17. Questions? Contact Gloria Miranda, Assistant Principal at 919-335-1335 or gmiranda@wcpss.net.
Coffee with the Principal: We are planning our final Coffee with the Principal event of this school year for Friday, April 26 at 7:30 AM. We will meet in the school cafeteria but you can also participate virtually (Video call link: https://meet.google.com/fud-kjuq-pks). Please bring your own coffee (BYOC). We hope you can join us!
Check PowerSchool: Spring Fever has definitely hit our students and it is showing in their grades. Please check PowerSchool this week and discuss concerns regarding assignments with low grades (which can likely be resubmitted) or missing assignments (which can likely still be turned in). There are only three weeks left before high school exams start, and we want all students to finish strong. Please reach out to teachers directly with questions or concerns about grades. If you cannot access PowerSchool, please contact Jeff Caprio (jcaprio@wcpss.net).
Upcoming Dates:
April 26: Coffee with the Principal, 7:30 AM WECIB Cafeteria or Virtual (link is above)

PREVIOUS INFORMATION
Final Exams: Believe it or not, final exams are approaching and with Wake Tech exams, AP Exams, and high school exams, there are exams almost every day in May, though they will not impact all students every day. To help students plan and manage their time, we have prepared this master calendar. We still have to add exams for students in NCVPS courses; those are coming soon.
School Calendar for 2024-25: At this week’s board meeting, the school board approved our calendar for the 2024-25 school year. You can access it using this link.
Ride-Sharing for Next Year: If you are interested in coordinating ridesharing next year, here is the link to the interest form. We have just sent it out to the parents of our incoming freshmen and we will forward the spreadsheet out several times to interested families over the next few months.

New and Experienced Carpool Users (Including families that use bus transportation): With bus transportation being somewhat unreliable, there will likely be new drivers in carpool that are unfamiliar with our process. Given this, we ask all families to familiarize themselves with our processes for carpool:
Videos that explain our process can be found here.
Be sure you are always entering and exiting campus at the light at the intersection of Watkins Road and Chapel Hill Road.
As you line up in the queue prior to dismissal, cars should line up in both lanes and zipper merge (like you would in a double-laned fast-food drive through line).
We ask that everyone be careful of their speed once on campus and be watchful of pedestrians and other vehicles. There have been some near misses in the last week.
Be patient with each other. It may be someone's first time picking up in carpool and they are unsure of the process.
Thank you for your patience and understanding of our protocols as we work to keep things safe and efficient.
Business Partnerships: Would you be interested in partnering with WECIB this year? One of top school to career goals for the 23-24 school year is to provide our students with a variety of work-based learning opportunities. There are 2 main ways you can support us in making that happen. You could become a Business Partner or join the Business Alliance Planning Committee. What is the difference between Business Partners & the Business Alliance Planning Committee?
The Business Alliance Planning Committee is a team of 8 – 12 members who work together to plan and implement career events for our students. Business Alliance Planning members are the backbone of the organization, providing a critical link between the professional world of careers and high school students. Members typically meet monthly at the school to work in committees developing meaningful career activities.
Business Partners are those interested in participating in the work-based learning opportunities but may not be able to commit the time to assist in the planning process.
Please complete this form if you would like to be a part of our efforts to create more engagement opportunities for our students and business partners. Thank you in advance for your interest in supporting our work here at WECIB.
Please Join the PTSA: We have several amazing parents that lead our PTSA. Please consider joining to help support our students, staff, and families. See this link for more information.
Staff Shoutouts: The PTSA has created this form to allow parents and students to send a shoutout to a staff member. These may be published in our morning announcements and in the weekly message.
