Weekly Warrior Message

Principal Garza here, thrilled to announce the return of our Warrior students this Monday, January 8th, 2024. Just a friendly reminder that our doors open promptly at 7:20 AM; please note that car riders should not arrive before this time. As the weather gets colder, kindly ensure your child is dressed warmly for a comfortable experience during transitions, on the bus, and during recess.

Here are some important updates and upcoming events:

  • Early College Applications: Due January 18th for 8th graders. Please ensure active application progress.

    Currently, 23 students have communicated an interest to apply. That is 41% of our 8th graders!

  • Report Cards: Scheduled for distribution on January 12th.

  • After School Program: For students enrolled in the 21st Century Afterschool Program sponsored by Community in Schools, regular attendance is crucial to achieving program goals. Excessive absences may impact the student's full benefit from the program. Please note the attendance policy and contact Ms. Veronica Lewis (Student Support Specialist; After School Program Site Coordinator) at 910-789-6070 - Ext.348054 for any inquiries.

  • Backpack Program: We're part of the Weekend Backpack Program offering weekend food support. Our school discreetly distributes weekend bags to enrolled students every last school day before the weekend. Any enrolled WPMS student can receive food weekly until the school year ends. To enroll, return the form to the front office at your earliest convenience.  For families needing meals, please contact Pender County Christian Services at 910-259-5840. They distribute meals Monday to Wednesday from 12:30 pm – 2:40 pm & Friday from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm at 210 W. Fremont Street, Burgaw, NC 28425.

Additionally, we're excited to announce Basketball Tryouts:

  • Girls' tryouts: January 8th to 10th, 3:20 PM - 4:20 PM

Boys' tryouts: January 8th to 9th, 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM

  • Ensure your child has the necessary forms (Athletic Physical, Concussion Form, PCS Eligibility Form) for participation.

Our gratitude extends to our Warrior Community, and we eagerly anticipate a year of robust learning in 2024.
