Starting with the 2022-23 school year, all elementary schools in North Carolina are required to participate in L.E.T.R.S. training. This is a K-5 professional development that is mandatory for staff to attend. We have received the training dates for the 2022-2023 school year and must make some adjustments to our school calendar. There is one significant difference that we want to get feedback from our parents, staff, and students. Currently, the calendar has Penderlea on Spring Break at the same time as the traditional and Pender Early College calendars. Please submit the survey in the email version of this message to share your preference by Monday, April 11 @ 12:00 noon. We do apologize for the short notice.
