Good news! New bus stops have been added in Magnolia Reserve!
Please check your child’s folder for a new bus pass, as your child’s bus stop and/or pick-up and drop-off time may have changed.
The new stops will begin Friday afternoon and will continue with Tuesday morning’s route.
Thank you for helping us make sure everyone is aware of these changes! 🐢
Mrs. Edwards' first graders are busy learning about how books change lives around the world by reading the book, Waiting for the Biblioburro. Students are practicing their notice and wonder as they learn of a little girl who eagerly awaits a traveling library brought to her in a rural Colombian village on the backs of two donkeys. 🗺️📍📚
🎉 Big Celebration for Surf City Elementary! 🎉
We are thrilled to announce that Surf City Elementary School EXCEEDED GROWTH for the first time EVER — moving our school from a C to B school according to the NC Report Card Standards. This incredible achievement belongs to our incredible teachers, curious students, and supportive administration and families — together we made real gains across all subject areas. From the classroom to the community, the commitment to learning and growing together has made a powerful impact. 🙌💙📈 ✨
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Attention Surf City Pre-School Families: Students who ride the Pre-K bus will be picked up 1 hour late this morning. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Bus 287 will not leave campus until 4:10 this afternoon.
We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you would like to make other transportation arrangements for your child, please communicate with your child's teacher through Rooms, or you may email the school at SCE_info@pender.k12.nc.us
Thank you!
🔎 LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAVE! 🎒
We’re already seeing a few water bottles, jackets, and other belongings left behind—especially on buses and in the cafeteria after breakfast!
Please help us by labeling your child’s belongings with their first and last name. We even have a label station at school!
We’re also reminding our students to LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAVE! 👀 Before leaving the bus, cafeteria, playground, classroom, or anywhere else, take a quick look around and make sure you have everything you brought with you.
Label it. Look around. Bring it home!
The only parents allowed to park and walk students up are students with an IEP requiring hand to hand transfer to an adult.
Thank you for following our school expectations and helping us keep the line moving by not stopping traffic for walkers. This is the same procedure we implemented last year and the car rider line moved quickly!
Have a fantastic weekend!
