Weekly Message

Good Afternoon Topsail Elementary Families!

This is Mrs. Wilson, principal at Topsail Annandale Elementary, with your weekly update. 

It’s TAE Holiday Spirit Week!!! Be sure to check out the link below and have your child participate in the fun! 

Specials: Check out what our students will be doing in Specials this month: December Specials Newsletter

Attendance: Families, please help us improve our attendance percentage! We miss your students terribly when they’re not here! Our days are packed full of learning and growing and when students are absent they miss out on so much! We are also requesting your help with tardies and early checkouts. Every minute counts for our Ospreys! As a reminder, students must be at school at least half a day (7:30-11 or 11-2:30) to be counted present for the day. As always, we understand that kids get sick and other circumstances arise, but please partner with us to ensure your Osprey is here on a regular basis!
