Parent Summersill Scoop

Our students had a fun and fabulous day at Field Day. We had a tremendous amount of parent and military volunteers. We appreciate you taking the time to come out and celebrate with us. Thanks to Mr. Gibson, our PE teacher for planning this special event.

Monday is a Teacher Workday, there will be no school for students.

On Tuesday, April 30 we will kick off our ONE and ONLY Fundraiser! Our Apex Fun Run helps purchase instructional resources, playground equipment, Smartpanels, classroom materials, student rewards and so much more! Stay tuned for more information.

This week we will have a lockdown drill. Just as we regularly hold fire drills and tornado drills, this drill is a way to practice what to do in the event of an emergency.

On Wednesday, May 1 we will have our National Elementary Honor Society Induction at 9:00am in the Multipurpose Room.

On Wednesday, May 1 our Fifth Graders will participate in Science Alliance - Move It.

On Friday, May 3 our fifth graders will be visiting their middle school they will attend for next year.

Parents, please complete the parent surveys to help us prepare for next school year. Your opinion matters! The homeroom with the most responses at each grade level will win a popsicle party.

New Onslow County Policy:

For the safety of our students, no vehicles are to be on campus more that 30 minutes prior to dismissal. Dismissal starts at 3:15; therefore, cars should not be parked for dismissal prior to 2:45. Please drive slowly when arriving on campus. There will be five orange cones placed for each car to stop, so students can be let out by a staff member. You will pull forward and a staff member will load your child. Staff members will not buckle your child in their seat; however, they will open the car door for them.

If you have questions regarding buses (bus number, bus stop location, pickup/drop off time) please use the Edulog Parent App on your Smartphone. You will need your child's Powerschool number in order to set up an account and access the bus information. Your child's teacher will have your child's Powerschool number at Orientation.
