Cape Fear Middle School Families — 📢 Important EOG Retake Opportunity!

We want to share an important opportunity for your student. Any student who does not score at the proficient level on their End-of-Grade (EOG) tests will be given a chance to retake them. 📝

Why does this matter? 🎯
EOG results play a key role in how we build student schedules for the upcoming school year — and this is important for ALL of our middle school students! 📊 By using the data from these assessments, we are able to make informed decisions about course placement and academic support, ensuring every student starts next year in the right place. This is especially critical for our current 8th graders who are rising to 9th grade. 🎓 These EOG scores will also be shared with the high school and used to help determine course placement and scheduling for their freshman year! 🏫

We encourage every student to take this retake opportunity seriously because this is another opportunity to prove how great we are at CFMS. 💪⭐

📋 Forms will be available in the front office. Please stop by to pick one up for your student!

🐻 Cape Fear Middle School Grizzlies Complete DARE Graduation! 🎓

We are SO proud of our 7th graders! 🌟 Our students recently completed a 10-week DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) course as part of their social studies class. Through this incredible partnership between Pender County Schools and the Pender County Sheriff's Office, our Grizzlies learned the importance of making healthy life decisions that will stick with them for years to come! 💪

Each graduate received a certificate and a DARE shirt to celebrate this milestone — and they've earned every bit of it! 👏🎉

A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing DARE instructors, Deputy Hall and Deputy Perdicho, for pouring their time and dedication into our students. You are making a real difference in our community! 🙌🩶

Here's to our Grizzlies choosing a bright, healthy future! 🐻💙

🐻 Celebrating Our Amazing Administrative Professionals Team! 🌟

Yesterday was Administrative Professionals Day, and we want to take a moment to shine a well-deserved spotlight on three incredible people who keep Cape Fear Middle School running every single day! 🎉

Ms. Julien, Ms. Hayes, and Mr. Ball are the heartbeat of our front office. Whether they're warmly welcoming families through our doors, carefully managing finances, guiding students through the enrollment process, or handling the countless behind-the-scenes tasks that so often go unnoticed — they do it all with grace, dedication, and a smile. 💛

Their hard work, seen and unseen, makes a difference every single day for our students, families, and staff. Cape Fear Middle School would not be the same without them!

Mr. Ball, Ms. Julien, and Ms. Hayes — thank you for everything you do. You are true Grizzlies in every sense of the word, and we are so proud to have you on our team. Also, thank you to our CFMS PTO for helping us celebrate this amazing team.🐾❤️
