Good afternoon Rocky Point Families,
We hope that each and every family had a wonderful spring break this past week. Our Parent Teacher Organization would like to invite you to attend the RPES PTO meeting this Thursday, March 16th at 5:30 in the media center. Please plan to join to find out what is planned for the remainder of the year with the PTO as well as how you can be involved!
Kindergarten registration is ongoing at this time! If you have a child that will turn 5 years old prior to August 31, 2023, please register them for Kindergarten. On Wednesday, March 22nd, we are inviting all families registering upcoming Kindergarten students for the 23-24 school year to come to Rocky Point Elementary school between 10:00am and 6:00pm. You will have the opportunity to verify registrations are complete and meet our current Kindergarten staff. In order to complete your Kindergarten registration, we need the following items:
Student’s Birth Certificate
Proof of Residency, which could consist of: Utility bill, Mortgage or Rental Agreement, or Property Tax Bill
Guardian Identification such as a Driver’s License
Custody Court Documents if applicable
Also, the reassignment application is currently open through Friday, March 31st. If you would like for your student to attend a Pender County School other than the one they are zoned for, you will need to submit a reassignment request. A quick reference guide to complete the reassignment application is linked here: Reassignment Request Reference guide
Both applications can be found at https://penderncc.scriborder.com/ If you need assistance with either of these processes, you may contact our school data manager, Mrs. Jan Richardson. Please let us know if you have any questions!
