Some pics of Wake Downtown

Yesterday on the Wake Parents and Families Facebook page, I shared a couple of pictures of Wake Downtown, our city campus.  Though Wake Downtown opened this spring, I had not gotten down there to explore the inside of the building until yesterday, though I had […]


Whole lotta stuff today

Today’s Daily Deac is going to be like a good jambalaya – lots of stuff in it all blending together. First up: the Move-in Parking Pass for incoming first-year families is now available online. Please print one out and bring it with you on […]


Declaration of Independence

Today we’re going to talk about the Declaration of Independence:  your independence, and your Deacs’ independence. For those who are longtime Daily Deacers, you are familiar with me talking about the Stop, Drop, and Roll method for student problem-solving.  In essence, it means when your Deac […]
