Student-Led Conferences Sign Ups

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Student-Led Conferences! This event is a wonderful opportunity for your child to take ownership of their learning and showcase their progress. In these conferences, your child will guide you through their academic journey, sharing their achievements, challenges, and goals. As the student will be leading the conference, student attendance is mandatory.

Student-Led conferences will be held between 7am and 3pm in 20 minute time slots on November 5, 2024. Snacks and drinks will be provided and you will leave the conference with a portfolio of your students' work and data. 

Student-Led Conferences are a powerful alternative to traditional parent-teacher meetings. Keep in mind that teachers will be facilitating the student-led conferences so all of your child’s teachers will not be available for parent-teacher conferences. However, you will have the opportunity to leave a comment or concern for a specific teacher and request the teacher contact you at a later time. You may leave a specific question or request a specific teacher to check in with you during the conference by indicating it on the form.  Please fill out this Google Form to reserve your time for your child’s conference. 

We look forward to seeing you soon!

We wanted to let you know about the Grizzlies Color Run Fundraiser that kicked off on October 17th! Every student will be able to participate in the Zombie Color Run.  All we ask is to register your student and spread the word. Our goal is to raise $15,000 to support our students, staff and community all while enhancing the Cape Fear middle school experience! Save the date! Donating started on October 17th and the color run will be on October 31st. Last year was a huge success in raising over $7000.   We are grateful for our Cape Fear Middle School families and look forward to this exciting event with our students! Go Grizzlies!The following links include FAQ's and instructions on how to register. Thank you for supporting CFMS. https://5il.co/2yu8y https://5il.co/2yve7 https://5il.co/2yve8

Over the next several months, Pender County Schools will embark on creating its next strategic plan. This plan will guide our efforts over the next five years, setting a clear direction, aligning our efforts, and holding us accountable to PCS students, staff, and families. We hope that it will reflect our community’s goals for our students and inform how we prepare each student for their future. 

We know that to truly reflect the will of our community, this process must be inclusive of a wide range of perspectives. Gathering this range of perspectives starts with a survey for students, teachers, and community members.  Please take the time to provide your valuable input by filling out this survey, https://bit.ly/3zY7Ll9. Your input is valued and appreciated. 

The Pender County Planning & Community Development Department is asking for feedback regarding the County's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. This plan is a 20-30 year vision that seeks to provide guidance and policies for County infrastructure, investment, growth, land use, development, and conservation. We are about 5 months into the 14-20 month process and are at a critical stage where the feedback of the citizens and those who work in the county are needed. This Community Engagement Window includes 10 meetings across the county (8 have occurred, 2 remain) and an online survey to gather feedback from those who live and work in the county to understand what the priorities and concerns are for the community.

There is an online survey for community members to give their feedback about the future of the County. As we know, this is an important moment in Pender County as we are working to facilitate infrastructure and services for a growing population as well as foster the building of a deeper sense of community.

There is an English and Spanish survey available. The survey is about 10 questions as well as a link to leave specific comments on the current Future Land Use Map that shows what the preferred development type and density is in each area of the county. The survey will be available through October 22nd. Please see the links below:
