Our school will be having our October School Improvement meeting tomorrow, Monday October 14th at 2:45pm. We welcome all interested families to attend.

The last day of our first nine weeks of school is this Friday, October 18th. Please have conversations with your child to ensure they have completed and submitted all assignments for the first quarter. Additionally, please be on the lookout for invitations from classroom teachers for beginning of year conferences. All teachers are expected to have an in-person or by phone conference with every family following the end of the first nine weeks of school.

This week select 4th grade students will be taking the Read to Achieve assessment on Tuesday, October 15th. If your child is taking this assessment, a letter was sent home with them last week.

If your child is interested in submitting an artistic entry for the cover of this year’s yearbook, please have them do so prior to the deadline for submissions on Friday, October 25th. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Black, our music teacher, at laura_black@pender.k12.nc.us. Details for the contest are included in this link, Yearbook Cover Art Contest.

Planning for our annual community Hispanic Heritage event is well under way. Again, this event will be held on Friday, October 25th at Rocky Point Elementary School from 5:00 - 8:00pm. Thank you to all students and families that have already responded and showed interest in participating in the dances and being food vendors. If you have further questions, please email all questions to Adriana Perez at adriana_perez@pender.k12.nc.us or give her a call at the school.

Our PTO is also asking for donations of water, juice boxes, soda and candy to be used at this event.

The Mobile Dental clinic will be on the Rocky Point Elementary campus available to see students and families until this Friday, October 18th. Simply return the form sent home with your child to have your visit scheduled with the Mobile Dental Clinic.

October is Pender County Schools’ Month of Awareness. Please see the 2024 Month of Awarenss calendar and social media posts as we continue our month of awareness this week with Special Needs Awareness Week.

Special Needs Awareness includes educating individuals about various needs and how to bring about necessary changes. Over 15% of the world’s population experience some type of special need. Let’s work together to help break social barriers.

Wear YELLOW this week!
