Did you hear the big news??? Our new playground is being installed this weekend! We are so appreciative of all of the students, families, and businesses who fundraised to help provide this play structure for our students! The play structure should be open for play on Thursday!

All third in Pender County will be given the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT).  The purpose of this test is to screen students in an effort to find out more about each student’s varying abilities.  The CogAT will be administered over a three-day period. At TES, all third grade students will take the test on 4/6, 4/7, and 4/8. Testing will begin at 8am. Tardy students will not be allowed to enter the classroom once testing begins.

PTA Updates:


Thanks to your amazing fundraising efforts this year, our brand new play structure was installed over the weekend! It looks wonderful and we cannot wait for the kids to play on it. Once concrete has set and final inspections have been completed, we expect to welcome our students to use it beginning this Thursday.  Please remind students to NOT use the structure until they have been told by their teacher it is okay to do so.  We know they are excited!  So are we!  Be sure to check it out when you visit our campus.  Thank you for helping us achieve this goal that will be used for many, many years to come!  


Mark your calendars for our next TES PTA Spirit Day at Steadfast Nutrition in Hampstead on April 1 from 6am-7pm.  A portion of sales will be donated back to our school.  Be sure to let them know you are from TES and invite your friends!
