Newsletter
A new Board of Directors, headed by Brian L. Crawford, Esq., was formed in 2004 to oversee the change in governance, and to select a new Executive Director / Principal to manage the school. Under the new leadership, the schools mission and vision have been redesigned and restated to reflect more accurately the direction of the school.
With these changes in direction, the school has realized increases in academic performance, increased student and staff diversity, increased student enrollment, a higher percentage of certified and highly qualified teachers, improved classroom resources, and more enthusiastic community support. As part of this new direction, Carter Community School now uses the internet as part of its dissemination of information and for recruiting both staff and students.
Enrollment at Carter Community School is determined on a first come, first served, space available basis. Charter schools are public schools. Therefore, enrollment at Carter Community School is tuition free, just as it is in any public school. Pre-enrollment links are available online, and campus phone numbers, addresses and map locations are available by clicking on links on the web site.
Carter Community students are exposed to rich learning activities. These include weekly Productive Citizens Club meetings that focus on developing economic and financial literacy. All students in grades K-8 participate in the club meetings. These culminate every nine weeks with a Marketplace Meeting. During Marketplace Meetings, students share with their peers what is going on in their club community. Integration of field trips, guest speakers, and classroom volunteers are additional pillars of support that enrich the lives of Carter Community School students.
At Carter Community School, we seek to develop, nourish, and nurture a learning environment where important, productive, and life changing activities occur daily.

Supporting Carter
The Board of Directors and the wonderful staff supports Carter Community and helps the school prosper through fundraising, media relations and athletic activities, among many duties. But, supporting Carter Community can also consist of a grandparent making a monetary donation, a parent serving drinks at the concession stand during athletic events, or a friend of the school making a gift-in-kind.
The common denominator in all this support is the care that goes into each effort, the desire to advance Carter Community-its students, faculty, staff, and constituents. We need your help-as students, alumni, parents, grandparents, friends to uphold the schools vision of
" Building a stronger school community inside and out".
Carter Community is located at
4100 N Roxboro RD

Please allow 24-48 hours for a school representative to follow up with you.
Thank you for your support!
Academic Highlights
Carter Community School students in grades K-3 participate in the Reading First Program, a research based reading program designed to ensure that all students are reading on grade-level by the end of the third grade. Students have 120 minutes of uninterrupted reading and writing instruction each day.
Carter Community School hosts the Project H.O.P.E. after-school program sponsored by a Kellogg Foundation Grant. The program operates 5 days a week from 3:00 6:00 PM.
Carter Community School partners with students from Duke University, UNC Chapel Hill, North Carolina Central University, and the Watts School of Nursing. They provide mentoring, and lead academic enrichment classes in Art, Health and PE, Spanish, Ballroom dancing, and Drama.
Carter will collaborate with community partners to achieve the following goals:
· To become an Honor School of Excellence by 2012. This will be done by achieving high student performance on the North Carolina End of Grade Tests.
· To achieve Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) annually as determined by No Child Left Behind legislation.
· To insure that all students are achieving at or above grade level, and showing continuous progress, by using standardized instruments to monitor students progress.
To provide extended day and year learning experiences for Carter students and the community at large.
To these ends, Carter Community School has developed a curriculum, at the core of which is the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. This curriculum focuses on the development of economic and financially literate students. Students will be engaged in relevant learning experiences that will help them better understand the why behind what they are required to learn. Students will begin to see and make connections to the application of knowledge in the real world.
Below is the Middle School Supply List for the academic sessions. Course and schedule information is not yet available.

Carter Community School , a free public school of choice, is seeking your support to help us
meet and exceed the needs of our wonderful students. Carter Community School has been in
existence since 1998 and currently serves 270 students in grades K-8. As all public schools,
Carter Community School receives state and local dollars for the day-to-day operations but often these funds are not enough to help provide special programs for our students.
To this end, the Board of Directors, staff, and students of Carter Community School reach out to you the public to help us provide culturally rich programs and activities for our students.
Please consider making a tax deductible donation to Carter Community School, a 501-3(c) organization that serves public school students.
If giving by check, please make checks payable to Carter Community School and note in the
memo line that it is a GIFT to the school. No gift is too small as we seek support from you, the public, to help the staff uphold the school's vision of
Developing Productive Citizens through
Leadership, Scholarship and Community Service.
The school's Tax ID number will be provided upon request.
Please call the office at (919) 797-2340 to obtain the Tax ID number.
Thanks in advance for your sincere support. What you do today will touch a child's life in a very special way.
Sincerely,
Ms. Gail Scott Taylor , Executive Director
