Good Evening Topsail Annandale Elementary Families!

This is Mrs. Wilson with your weekly update. 

We hope everyone had a fun and safe spring break! We sure have missed our Ospreys! 

 ~As a reminder, school is closed for students through Tuesday 3/14 for Teacher Workdays. We will welcome our Ospreys back to school on Wednesday 3/15!

~Important Info from PCS Central Office: If you would like for your student to attend a Pender County School other than the one they are zoned for (aside from Pender Early College), you will need to submit a reassignment request.  The application will open on  Wednesday, March 1st and close on Friday, March 31st.  The application can be found at https://penderncc.scriborder.com/  A quick reference guide to complete the application is attached.

Reassignment Request Help Guide 

~Tell your friends and neighbors! Kindergarten registration is now open and can be completed online through the end of March. A kindergarten screener day has been scheduled for Tues. 3/21. We will contact families the week of 3/13 with an assigned time for your student to come for a screening. The screener day is an opportunity for students to come in and show what they know and for families to get help with the registration process if needed. Please contact TAES Data Manager, Julie Martine (910-270-1977 or julie_martine@pender.k12.nc.us) if you have questions or need assistance with the registration process. We're happy to help!
