On Tuesday, Mrs. Batten came to Mrs. Romero’s 3rd grade class at the end of the day and completed an art project with the kids, creating art like the artist Jackson Pollock. Students read the book “Action Jackson” in Wit & Wisdom, and then got to experiment with his style of painting. They had so much fun, especially after a long morning of testing! #OnePender

The Pender County Schools Transportation Department is gearing up for the next school year, and we need YOUR help to ensure accurate bus assignments!
📢 Important Steps for Parents/Guardians:
✅ Check your child’s Parent Letter for their current bus stop details.
✅ If there are NO changes, return the form with all “YES”s circled by April 16, 2025.
✅ If changes are needed, update your info using the Student Ridership Survey (https://bit.ly/4lb0ZLF) by April 16, 2025.
⏳ Deadline Reminders:
🔹 Schools must update all transportation data in Infinite Campus by May 9, 2025.
