ENHANCING PARENT-TEACHER COMMUNICATION: INTRODUCING PENDER COUNTY SCHOOLS APP'S NEW FEATURES
We are continuously working to improve and simplify communication between you and Cape Fear Middle School. Keeping up with your child’s coursework and their teachers directly impacts their well-being both in the classroom and at home. Effective school communication plays a significant role in this process, but it often isn't as simple and accessible as it could be.
That’s what we’re working to solve. This year, we’re excited to continue our Rooms feature in our district app, now in its second year of implementation. Rooms enables you to have two-way parent-teacher conversations and keep up with classroom announcements. Please click on this link, CFMS Rooms Letter to Parents and Guardians , to read more information on how to stay connected with our school.
