WeekofSeptember16th-20th

Good evening Cub family, this is Dr. Oates with your Sunday reminders and updates.

I’m excited to announce that Cape Fear Elementary has once again exceeded academic growth for the 2023-2024 school year! This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and effort of our incredible staff, hardworking students, and the unwavering support of you, our parents. Thank you for everything you do to help us succeed—together, we continue to make Cape Fear Elementary a place of growth and excellence.

Attention all interested 3rd, 4th and 5th graders! Our fall Stride and Girls on the Run season begins Tuesday, October 1st! Make sure to register ASAP using the link: www.ymcasenc.org/gotr! Only 20 slots available on each team! Looking forward to another PAWesome season!

ll 5th-grade students will take the Beginning of Year Science Benchmark assessment on Monday, September 16th. All 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will take the Math Benchmark assessment on Wednesday, September 8th. Parents, we kindly request that you ensure your child gets a restful night's sleep and arrives at school on time to get breakfast and be fully prepared to focus and demonstrate their knowledge. These assesments will be used to track your childs progress throughout the year as well as help us identify areas where students are doing well and where they may need extra support. This ensures we can provide the right resources and instruction to help every child succeed.

Mark your calendar. Our Curriculum Night is scheduled for Tuesday September 24th. Join us to discover what your child is learning, engage in hands-on activities, and enjoy an afternoon filled with food, fun, and prizes!

For parents of kindergarten students, please ensure that you have submitted all required

kindergarten health assessments and immunization records by September 24th.

The Pender Mobile Dental Clinic is currently stationed at Cape Fear Elementary School until September 19th. This clinic offers routine and basic dental treatment to all interested students, parents, and staff.

Due to transitioning to our new information system, the 24-25 Opt-Out Notification Form

To Prevent or Restrict Release of Certain Student Information is in paper form. We can send a copy home with your child if you would like to opt out or you can pick up one from the school. Just let your child's teacher know.

This is a reminder if you need to change your child’s transportation arrangements, please send a note to your child’s teacher. This helps us accurately track and implement any changes. If a change must be made by phone, please contact us by 2:00 pm to ensure we have sufficient time to inform the teacher and student before the school day ends. We understand that emergencies may arise, but adhering to this process is essential for ensuring every student reaches their destination safely.

Additionally, there are no checkout after 2:00pm. When signing your child out, please remain inside the office. We greatly appreciate your cooperation and support in helping us keep our school running smoothly.

Remember CFE is the place to be! One Team, One Dream! Have a great rest of your evening.
