Week 1: SUCCESS! TMS is thrilled to welcome back all our amazing students! Here’s to a fantastic school year filled with learning and growth!

Come join a session to learn about the different accelerated paths to CFCC for your student. These sessions will cover the traditional dual enrollment for HS students, CAP-College Accelerated program (8th graders apply), and Pender Early College (8th graders apply).

📅 It may be early in the school year, but it’s never too early to plan ahead!

If you have a 7th or 8th grade student who may be interested in dual enrollment opportunities, now is the perfect time to learn more.

🌟 Dual enrollment through Cape Fear Community College gives eligible students the chance to:
✅ Take college-level courses while in high school
✅ Get a tuition-free head start on college education
✅ Transition seamlessly from high school to college

Families can ask questions and get details about:
🎓 College Accelerated Program
🎓 Pender Early College High School
🎓 Career & College Promise

👉 Don’t miss these opportunities to start planning your student’s future!

🚍 We know the first day of the three-tier schedule brought some challenges, while we continue to work to make improvements there is a free tool that can be helpful for families - the Here Comes the Bus app.

With this free app, parents can:
✅ See their child’s bus location on a map
✅ Get alerts when the bus is near your stop or school
✅ Gain peace of mind with notifications when the bus arrives in your area

The good news is that traffic flow improved by 30 minutes in some areas after adjustments from day one. While we continue to make changes, the Here Comes the Bus app can provide extra confidence and convenience for families.
