<br />
An electronic message and form was just sent to all 8th grade students/parents. Essentially, the form allows an 8th grade student to select if they would like to be in just Band, just Spanish, Both, or Neither. <br />
<br />
If you do get email alerts, please complete the form and email back to Ms. Fredericks at joannef@chatham.k12.nc.us. <br />
<br />
If you or someone you know does not get email alerts, they simply need to stop by their home campus, complete the form, and then give it to Ms. Phillips (NCS campus) or Ms. Fredericks (PHS campus). <br />
<br />
Please make every effort possible to get this information to us by Tuesday!!<div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you for subscribing to Plugged Into Pollard Blog!</div>Plugged Into Pollard Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04261649409549084081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415465368644304818.post-65342085422818466192010-07-19T11:15:00.000-04:002010-07-19T11:15:09.460-04:00About Your Pollard Administrators<b>Principal: Dr. Justin Bartholomew</b><br />

During the afternoon Board of Education meeting on Monday, May 3, it was announced that Dr. Justin Bartholomew will be the principal of the district's newest school, Margaret B. Pollard Middle School.<br />
<br />
Bartholomew is currently the principal of Moncure School where he has served for the past two years. Prior to that he was the assistant principal at Horton Middle School. He will transition from Moncure to Pollard in July.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
“This position will be a tremendous professional learning and growth opportunity. As a resident with children in that district, I am happy to be able to give back to the community in which I live. I also know with absolute certainty that many years from now when I reflect on my life, Moncure School and the Moncure community will continue to be a shining time where everything was possible and the people phenomenal. I feel fortunate to carry this experience into the new challenge at Margaret B. Pollard Middle School and look forward to working with another supportive student body, staff, and community,” commented Bartholomew.<br />
<br />
Pollard is under construction and is slated to open in the 2010-2011 school year with its students coming from North Chatham School and Perry Harrison School. North Chatham and Harrison currently serve students in kindergarten through eighth grade. They will become traditional elementary schools, serving kindergarten through fifth grade, next school year.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you for subscribing to Plugged Into Pollard Blog!</div>Plugged Into Pollard Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04261649409549084081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415465368644304818.post-71790661098292459602010-01-25T16:56:00.002-05:002010-05-26T11:43:21.792-04:00Welcome from the Superintendent<meta content="" name="Title"></meta> <meta content="" name="Keywords"></meta> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"></meta> <meta content="Word.Document" name="ProgId"></meta> <meta content="Microsoft Word 2008" name="Generator"></meta> <meta content="Microsoft Word 2008" name="Originator"></meta> <link href="file://localhost/Users/beth/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/msoclip/0clip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"></link> <style>
