Congratulations to our Battle of the Books team for winning 1st place in the 4th grade competition today!! This combo team of 5th and 4th grade students worked hard over the school year to prepare. Azra was recognized for reading all 16 books in the beginning of the competition! 💚💙🐊📚







Bus 49 is back on its route. She is on North Ave to continue the rest of the route. Students will not be tardy to campus and will have time for breakfast before instruction starts.
Good morning Bus 49 is delayed on its route. She is having mechanical issues so we have called for mechanic to meet the bus. If your student has not been picked up yet then please be patient as this should be a quick fix. Students will not be marked tardy and will be given breakfast when they arrive on campus. The students who have been picked up are all safe and are with Miss Atkins on bus 49.
Hello! Bus 18 has to come back to campus. If your student has not been dropped off yet then please be patient as we help this student. Thank you!
We have March madness here at Deep River! Our students are ranking their favorite books with their classes! 💚🐊💙📚




Today our students, who met their AR goal for the 3rd quarter, got to enjoy some snow cones and outdoor games! Congrats to these wonderful readers!










Good morning! Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will take their 3rd round of Check Ins on the week of March 23rd! These are our quarterly benchmarks and are aligned to grade-level standards. We highly encourage students to be present for these tests to prevent having to do make up on the last day before spring break! If you have any questions, then please email Ms. Monjar at elaynemonjar@lee.k12.nc.us


1st & 4th grade families, please mark your calendar for next Tuesday's musical concert! We ask that students are on campus by 5:45 pm so teachers can get them all together before the concert starts at 6 pm.

Good morning! Bus 19 is running about 10 minutes behind schedule. There is a sub driver today so please be patient if there are slight delays. Thank you!
