This is Mrs. Shand, and I am contacting you this morning to inform you about an indirect threat made to our Middle School that was posted on social media. We understand the concerns and anxiety that such situations can create within our school community, and we want to assure you that the safety and well-being of our students and staff are our top priorities.
At this time, after working closely with the Surf City Police Department, the threat has been investigated and determined to be non-credible, and there is no active threat to our school or our middle school. Please be assured that Pender County Schools takes any potential threat seriously, and we are committed to maintaining a safe and secure learning environment for everyone. Middle school students involved have been identified, and all policies have been followed with regard to safety and school discipline.
We appreciate those who came forward with this information, and we encourage parents to stress the importance of reporting any suspicious activity or information to the appropriate authorities. Anonymous tips can be submitted through the "Say Something" platform, which is available on all school and district websites.
Thank you for your understanding and partnership in ensuring the safety of our students and staff. I believe in communication and transparency not to cause worry but reassurance. Thank you Mrs. Hall , SCM middle school principal and Surf CIty PD for handling the threat so promptly and effectively.

The school year may be winding down but we are so excited to welcome our newest Sea Turtles to SCE! If your child will be in kindergarten at Surf City Elementary for the 26-27 school year, please sign up for a time for our Kindergarten Screening. Students will come to participate in a brief screening to help us better understand their academic and social skills. This helps better prepare for the upcoming school year! We look forward to meeting you!

**If your child currently attends SCE in the Pre-K program they do NOT need to sign up for a time, they will complete the screening at school.**
Both routes of bus 291 will be combined for the remainder of the week. This means the second run may be a few minutes early. Thank you!
🌟 Feature Friday: Employee Spotlight 🌟
This week we’re recognizing Mrs. Nakesha Oliver, Receptionist at Surf City Elementary School.
Mrs. Oliver keeps the front office running each day. She manages the door, answers phones, greets visitors, and helps students—all while keeping things organized and moving. She handles a lot at once and does it in a calm, steady way.
She also looks for ways to improve how things are done. If there’s a task that needs attention or a process that can be better organized, she takes care of it. She supports staff, helps with paperwork, and makes sure people get what they need.
Mrs. Oliver is dependable and always willing to step in where she’s needed. Her work helps the school stay on track throughout the day.
💛💙 Thank you, Mrs. Oliver, for the support you provide to Surf City Elementary each day.
