An Important Message from CBA - Tuesday, 8.29.23: Hello Golden Falcons Family: It's another great day at CBA! We had an awesome 1st Day of school, and look forward to a tremendous 2023-24 school year! Please be reminded of a few important items: Class Drop / Add: Class Change Request Forms are in the Front Office and must be completed, signed by a parent or legal guardian, and returned by Wednesday 8.30.23 at 3:00 PM. Dress Code: We are seeing too many students out of dress code. Please be mindful to wear clothes to school that are appropriate and meet our WCPS dress code. Students who do not meet dress code will be assigned to ISS until a parent or guardian can bring proper clothes to school for the student to change clothes. Students who continue to have issues with dress code violations will also face other disciplinary consequences per our Discipline Matrix. Tardies: Students please be mindful to get to school earlier each day. We have a lot of students who are arriving at school after the Tardy Bell. Please know that starting the week of September 11th, 2023 all students who arrive late to school will be placed in the ISS Room for Tardy Central for the remainder of 1st period and then be allowed to transition to their 2nd period classes at the end of 1st period. Students in Tardy Central will be provided their class assignments via their Canvas class and the provided laptop. Students are expected to transition to their classes on time throughout our school day. Any students who are tardy will report to our ISS Room for Tardy Central for the remainder of the period they are tardy. Lunch: All students must eat their lunch in the cafeteria. Students should not eat lunch in the media center, classrooms, the gyms, and/or other areas of our school facilities. This is a sanitation, cleanliness, and school safety issue. Lunch - Restroom use: Please be mindful that during 3rd period (All lunches), we should allow no more than four (4) boys or girls to use the restroom at a time. Also, teachers on the 100 wing and 600 wing please have your students use the 600 Wing restrooms during 3rd period so as to not overcrowd the 100 Wing restrooms during lunch. Same would apply for the 200 Wing = 200 Wing Restroom. 500 Wing & MC = 500 Wing Restroom, 700 Wing = 700 Wing Restroom. 300 / 400 Wing = 400 Wing Restroom. Hallways Clear: Students should not be in the hallways during Instructional Time. The sign of a Great School is no students in the hallways during instructional time with all students and teachers actively engaged in High Quality Teaching and Learning, every class, every day, for every student. Bell to Bell Instruction. Give them all you have for 4 hours and 45 minutes! Fall Sports - Student-Athletes & Coaches Meeting (New Gym - Wed. 8.30.23 - 3:10 to 3:30 PM): We will have a Mandatory Fall Sports Coaches and Student-Athletes meeting in the Ne Gym from 3:10 to 3:30 PM on Wednesday, 8.30.23. Please head straight to the new gym when the bell rings for school dismissal. Our meeting will take 20 minutes, so we want to start on time at 3:10 so that we can end on time at 3:30 PM. Today's thought of the Day: "CHOICE, not CHANCE, determines DESTINY." - Aristotle We look forward to seeing everyone around the Flagship! Stay Golden Falcons! #TheAycockWay

Great Schools do not have students in the hallways during instructional time! Nice start to our 2023-24 school year CBA! And how about those floors?! Excellent job CBA Custodial staff! Stay Golden Falcons! #TheAycockWay CBA - Challenging, Believing, Achieving

An Important Message from Charles B. Aycock High School for Saturday, August 26th, 2023 at 1:00 PM: Hello Golden Falcons family: Hope you enjoy our last weekend of summer before our 2023-24 School Year officially begins on Monday, August 28th! We had great turnout at both our 9th Grade Open House and our 10th / 11th / 12th Grade Open House this week and look forward to a great first week of school! A few reminders: Our school day is from 8:00 AM until 3:00 PM each day. Please arrive early to school and be patient if you are a car rider as we anticipate long lines as everyone learns / re-learns the system for morning drop off and arrival to our campus. Students may arrive anytime after 7:30 AM and may wait in the Cafeteria upon arrival until our bells ring to transition to class. Remember, we will transition to Homeroom for the first 45 minutes of the day each day this week. From Homeroom, we will transition to 1st Period and then on to our other classes throughout the remainder of our day. Please help us meet our expectation that we should not see cell phones, earbuds, or other personal electronic devices throughout our instructional day. From the time our students enter our school buildings to the time they exit our school, we should not see these devices per our new WCPS Cell Phone / PEDs Policy and CBA expectations. Also, please remember to attend school on time as we will maintain our CBA Tardy Policy this year. Please also dress appropriately for school, as we will also enforce our WCPS Dress Code. Also, remember that once our students are issued their lockers, then we will not allow students to carry bookbags, large bags, cinch sacks, etc throughout our school during the school day. Lastly, remember that we place a premium on our expectations for a safe, orderly, and respectful educational environment at CBA. Students who fail to meet our expectations for behavior will receive the appropriate disciplinary action per our WCPS / CBA Discipline Matrix. Congratulations to Coach Z and our Varsity Football Team for their 2-0 start to the season with big wins over county rivals Rosewood HS and Eastern Wayne HS! The Band, Student Section, Cheerleaders, Fire Truck, Band Boosters Ice Cream Truck, Athletic Boosters Concession Stand, Coach Luke Vail on the mic, and our Loyal Golden Falcons Fans make Friday Night Lights at CBA very special!
