Good afternoon,
As a staff and community we want to build a solid HOME environment here at CFMS. We want all of our students to feel safe, challenged and welcomed when they walk through the doors every day. You will see our vision, mission and goals in our messages and throughout our school. Every aspect of our school will be to build this atmosphere and at the same time provide high expectations. We are excited about this school year and are ready to begin growing our students. #HOMEoftheGrizzlies!

The start of the 2023-2024 school year is right around the corner! In an effort to streamline the process, Pender County Schools has created an online form allowing you to update your returning student's beginning of the year information. The form must be completed for returning students to receive a Chromebook for the 2023-2024 school year. If you have already completed it, thank you and please ignore the future messages in regards to the BOY. The way you know if you have completed the BOY is at the very end after you submit the application you will see a confirmation order number and an email.
This electronic form has replaced the paper packets sent home each year to all returning students. You can access the form by following this link and then scrolling down to "Beginning of the Year Updates 2023-2024".
To update a student's information please follow the instructions below.
Log into your family dashboard.
A list of associated students will be displayed. You will need to click on the pencil next to the student's name and then update the profile for all active students.

ENHANCING PARENT-TEACHER COMMUNICATION: INTRODUCING PENDER COUNTY SCHOOLS APP'S NEW FEATURES
We are excited to introduce an innovative way to enhance communication between you, your child's teachers, and our schools. With this addition, staying up-to-date with important district-wide information, school updates, and your student's classes has never been easier.
To access these new features, parents and guardians will soon receive detailed instructions via email and text on how to create their login to access "Rooms" within the district app. We aim to have this available to you prior to your child's Open House event in August.
We understand the importance of fostering strong connections between parents and educators to support your child's academic journey. The parent-teacher chat and classroom announcements feature is designed to streamline communication and keep you informed about your child's progress, upcoming events, and more.
We look forward to providing you with this improved communication tool, and we hope it enhances your engagement in your child's education.
