Surf City Elementary

Ms. Pleasants' PreK class is celebrating the arrival of spring! 🌸🌱 Today, they created a special spring craft and enjoyed a fun spring snack of flower-shaped cookies and fresh veggie sticks. It was the perfect way to kick off their gardening unit and talk about how plants grow. They are so excited for all the hands-on learning and exploring this season will bring! 🌼🌿

3rd grade had a wonderful time on their field trip to Everett Creek Preserve. The students enjoyed a long hike where they learned all about pine trees and ways we can help protect our forests. Along the way, they discovered some really exciting sights, including Venus flytraps!

Bus Updates for Friday, March 20
Bus 291 both routes are combined, arrival times may be early.
Bus 288 has a sub driver, expect delays.

Have a great day.

Good afternoon Surf City Elementary Families,
As shared by the district, March 16th will be a remote learning day due to potentially severe weather. Please check ROOMS posts and messages from your child's teacher for activities and assignments for tomorrow. We will be flexible with the completion of assignments that are assigned for March 16th. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions or concerns.

Need a good book this weekend? The Little Free Library is stocked and ready for you! ☀️📚

Good afternoon Sea Turtles! We continue every day to make sure our car line moves as efficiently and effectively as possible. More and more parents are attempting to park and walk students up across the cross walk. This practice is causing us to have to stop the traffic and line multiple times, causing the car line to be delayed. Some parents are even trying to just end their children across. Our awesome SRO stands at the cross walk daily to assist us. He reminded parents this morning of our policy and procedure. The only students allowed to park and walk up are students with an IEP needing hand to hand transfer. These few parents are aware of their rights. All other parents will be required to drop off in the car line. If you park and attempt to walk up prior to 7:55, you will be politely asked to get into the car line. It is not fair for some parents to be allowed to park and others are following all of the rules. The line runs very smoothly and we are completely finished by the tardy bell. There may be more cars in line, but they are middle school parents and students arriving after the tardy bell. My excellent staff members and I will continue to be there 7:20-7:55 daily to supervise and protect the safety of ALL of our SCE students. Thank you, always for your grace, patience and support! We continue to do our very best to start your children off with a smile and positive greeting daily- rain, sleet, wind and heat!

Happy Friday, Sea Turtles,
Bus 291 routes will be combined this afternoon. This means the second route of 291 will be approximately 20 minutes early today.
Bus 279 will have a sub driver and ride bus 290.
Bus 288 will have a sub driver, but still ride bus 288.
Thank you!
