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!

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!

A huge shout-out to some of Mrs. Lagnese & Ms. Stewart's 4th grader! After noticing the need for a recycling bin, a class project and letters written to our superintendent, our school now has a Recycling Bin in the back!

Ms. Brevan, Ms. Montaruli's field experience teacher from UNCW and a wonderful EC IA from Pre-K taught her first lesson today in Kindergarten. Students learned about communication from the past and present! Students sorted images of items from the past and present and were able to tell about their favorite type of communication.
