Good Afternoon Topsail Annandale Elementary Families!

This is Mrs. Wilson with your weekly update.

Beginning-of-Year Student Information Updates: Important: Due by 9/30/22- 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.

Parent/Visitor Guidelines: If parents would like to join their students for lunch, you are welcome to do so! Please follow these guidelines shared in the last few week's messages. We do need to limit parent visits to just lunch time and not recess as well. For safety reasons, we are not able to allow parents to spend recess time here at school. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

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!
