Parent Summersill Scoop
May 11, 2024
Our staff and students had a blast with the Apex team over the past two weeks charging up our POWERS in becoming POWERFUL Leaders! Total raised $25,116.98! If you would still like to make a donation, there is still time until Monday. We truly appreciate all of the donations!
Thank you to our PTO and others who contributed to celebrating our school staff! You made us feel so appreciated and supported.
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. These surveys close on Thursday, May 16.

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.
Edulog's Bus Transportation
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.
