Good Afternoon Topsail Annandale Elementary Families! This is Mrs. Wilson with your weekly update. Nurse Vicki would like to remind all of our new students that their Health Assessments and Immunization Records are due to her by Sept. 27th. Students without completed forms will be excluded from school until the forms are received. Please contact the school with any questions. We are happy to announce that our Beginning-of-Year information packets for our RETURNING students are now all online. This is how you will update any phone or address changes for your student; ANY address changes must be accompanied by a Proof of Residency. It is very important to add anyone you want to be able to pick up your child from school or to be an emergency contact in these forms. Please note ONLY students that are RETURNING to Topsail Annandale Elementary School this year need to fill out these forms. New Families have already completed them. Click on the link below, enter your account information, and complete the process. Please contact julie_martine@pender.k12.nc.us if you need assistance or have questions. https://penderncc.scriborder.c Parents, as a reminder if you send in any kind of birthday or special event treats to share with your child's class, they must be store bought. For health and safety reasons, nothing homemade may be shared with our students. If parents would like to join their students for lunch, you are welcome to do so. Please follow these guidelines: come at your child's assigned lunch time, check in in the school's front office and get a visitor's sticker, sit at the assigned "family table" in the cafeteria. For safety reasons, only your child will be allowed to sit with you at the family table (no other students from the class). In addition, if you bring lunch, please only bring food for your child. Due to allergies and health guidelines, we cannot allow you to bring lunch for other students. Families, please make note of these important testing dates. Please make every attempt to have your child in school on these days if the test is applicable to your child's grade level. 3rd grade- Beginning Of Grade test- 9/14/22 Select 4th graders- Read to Achieve- 10/27/22 3rd-4th grade- End Of Grade Math test- 5/16/23 3rd-4th grade- End Of Grade Reading test- 5/18/23 Important Dates: Tues. 9/6- Mon. 9/26- Beginning-of-Year mClass reading assessment window for all students grades K-4.

Please see the sign up genius below to donate items to help. All items should be turned in to your teacher or the front office on or before September 22. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Many of you are familiar with the Spot Festival that occurs annually here in Hampstead (although they took a few years off for Covid). If you're not familiar...it's food trucks, crafts, community organizations/vendors, school and local community group performances, a kids game/activity area, and spots (fish) meals being served! Some of the proceeds from the festival come back to our schools, depending on the number of volunteer hours we provide at the festival. The festival will take place on Sat and Sun 11/5 and 11/6 this year. If you have one, wear your school t-shirt and represent us well! If you want a "good volunteer spot" or want to volunteer with friends, sign up soon! Any help is appreciated and the money comes back to TAES! https://www.signupgenius.com/g We look forward to a great week at TAES! Have a great evening! |
