ood Evening Topsail Elementary Families! 

This is Mrs. Wilson with your weekly update. Just a reminder that you can see the full version of this message in your e-mail or you can find it on our school website under the "about " heading and then by clicking on "Weekly Message".

Help us spread the word! Tell your friends and neighbors...Kindergarten Registration is happening now! Registration is fully online and can be found on the PCS webpage. If you need assistance or don't have internet access, please contact us by calling the school. 

This Thursday, March 31, our Kindergarten and 1st graders, along with Mrs. Hulsey's and Mrs. Allen's classes, will be having a "concert" at 6:00pm on the front playground.  Families will enjoy a selection of songs as the students move to the music with scarves, ribbons, parachutes, and elasti-bands!  Families and students should plan to bring their own chairs and to dress comfortably for the weather.  Students will be seated with their families during the concert.  We look forward to seeing you there!

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. Please make every effort to arrive on time. 

Please send refillable water bottles with your students to school. Water fountains and water bottle refill stations are open. We will no longer have disposable water bottles to distribute.
