Individual Student Reports for State Assessments - Scores Available in PowerSchool Parent Portal An Individual Student Report (ISR) of your student's NC Standardized assessment is available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. To view electronic copies of the ISR in PowerSchool, log into PowerSchool through a web browser. Once on the website, click on State Test Reports in the left-hand menu bar. At this time, the ISR may not be viewable on the PowerSchool app for SmartDevices.

Your student’s test score should be considered along with all other information provided throughout the school year. If you need to create a Parent Portal account, please contact the school data manager for assistance. If you would prefer to get a hardcopy of the report for your student, please reach out to the school with your request.

WOW!! Book Fair was a Tremendous Success!! Thank you all for your support in joining us for lunch and making purchases for your child at our Book Fair. Thank you also for being patient with the slowness of checkout as the register and scanner weren't working their best. We will be able to purchase roughly $1200 worth of quality books for our library with the proceeds from this fair! How EXCITING!! Thank you again!

Our Dragons competed in the North District Battle of the Books Competition today. We were met with fierce competition and didn't take home the blue ribbon, but we had a great time anyway. After battle, we had a celebration with our new friends from Sandy Ridge and Lawsonville , many of whom we will be able to learn with next year either at Piney Grove or in Dragon Country!
