Hello families! We have posted our annual testing letter in Parent Square and our website for families! This letter is intended to inform you that your student will take districtwide and state-mandated tests this school year as reflected on the Lee County Schools test calendar.

Good afternoon, Bus 18 Families! Due to road closures and detours, both our drop-off order AND arrival times will change drastically. While some roads may appear accessible, navigating them in a school bus would be unsafe. We have changed the bus drop off order and arrival times may vary due to traffic changes. Please check Parent Square for more detailed information from Mrs. Jackson. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we ensure student safety!

🚧 TRAFFIC ALERT – DEEP RIVER ELEMENTARY 🐊 Gator Families, We want to make you aware of an upcoming road closure that may impact morning arrival and afternoon dismissal this week. Beginning Sunday, October 18, at 8:00 p.m., NCDOT will close the southbound lanes of U.S. 15-501 between Deep River Road and Northview Drive. Traffic will be detoured using Deep River Road, Colon Road, and U.S. 1 South. Since many of our families and school buses travel along Colon Road, we anticipate possible traffic delays throughout the week. We encourage families to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and use caution when traveling to and from school. The roadway is expected to reopen by Friday, October 23, at 3:30 p.m., weather permitting. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work together to keep our Gators safe! 💙💚
