Dear West Pender Middle School Families,

I hope this message finds you well. As we approach a new week, here are the latest updates from our Warrior community:

  • NC Check-in Assessments (November 2nd):

This Thursday, November 2nd, our students will be taking their Math NC Check-in assessments. This evaluation is crucial in gauging their progress thus far.

  • 8th Grade Students - Chromebook Reminder:

Attention 8th graders: Please remember to bring your chromebooks and chargers to school on November 1st in preparation for testing. These will be securely stored on campus until all three NC Check-in assessments are completed. Students in 6th and 7th grade will not need to bring their chromebooks home.

  • Halloween Costume Reminder:

With Halloween approaching on Tuesday, please be reminded that costumes are not considered appropriate attire for school. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.

  • PEHCS Information Session (November 1st):

Representatives from Pender Early College High School will be visiting our campus on Wednesday, November 1st, to provide information about the application process. Encourage your 8th grader to attend and explore this exciting opportunity for high school.

  • Cookie Monster Birthday Celebration (November 2nd):

On November 2nd only, our child nutrition department will be giving one free cookie to students who enjoy both a school breakfast and lunch with us. They will receive a ticket during breakfast which can be exchanged for a cookie at lunch. Both chocolate chip and sugar cookies will be available, and they are both whole grain.
