Students who ride bus 287 are on Bus 261. The bus left our campus at 4:20 pm
Good afternoon, Sea Turtle Families,

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

🔎 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!
What an amazing first week! Reminder... today was the last day parents were allowed to walk students up to the front door at morning arrival. Monday we will start our journey of creating independent Sea Turtles. We have 15+ people on car duty and many others stationed throughout the lobby and hall to assist students to class, if needed.
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!

Electronic Devices:
Last year new STATE laws were put into affect. I am sending a reminder of the policy on personal cell phones and smart watches.
Pender County Schools provides every child with a Chromebook, therefore personal technology devices are not approved for use at school. All personal cell phones, tablets, smartwatches, etc must be turned off and stored in the child’s backpack during the school day. If a device proves to be a distraction or is used during the school day, it can be confiscated. Please refer to PCS Board Policies 3220, 3221, 3225, 3226, and 4318 for policies related to student technology usage. Parents, please help us by not messaging your student during the school day. If there is an emergency, you may contact the office and we will be happy to help.
