WCPSS created a new television program, Full Circle, to explore a wide range of topics and issues during a half hour of discussion so viewers will learn about a single topic affecting Wake County Schools, students and teachers. Full Circle is produced every month and programming is carried by cable providers in Raleigh and Cary on channel 11. In Cary, tune in on Thursdays at 1 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 8 a.m. Raleigh residents can watch the program on Thursdays and Fridays at noon and Sundays at 9:30 p.m. Each month’s edition can be viewed online at www.wcpss.net. Guests from WCPSS classrooms and administration share their expertise and offer unique perspectives that help bring these issues full circle. Be sure to tune in!

As the school year comes to a close, many parents are faced with the realization that their child has not mastered this year's educational skills and goals. Some are faced with the option of either socially promoting the child despite the fact that they have not learned the needed material to be successful in the coming year or grade retention and having the child repeat this school year.
