Pender County Schools will be hosting a job fair at Heide Trask High School in the gymnasium on March 31 from 4:30 - 7:00 p.m. This is for classified and certified employees.

Mr. Smith, our RPE Physical Education teacher, is continuing to seek volunteers for this year’s field day to be held on Thursday, April 2. If you are able and interested in volunteering for this year’s field day event, please complete this form. Paper copies of the form were also sent home this past week. All support is highly appreciated

Please help us as we prepare our routing for the 2026-27 school year. On Thursday, February 26, students came home with a parent letter from our PCS Transportation Department. Each letter contains the student’s current bus stop information. If the stop location fields are blank, it means the student is not currently assigned to a bus. If there are no changes to be made, we are requesting for each parent/guardian to circle all “YES”s on the letter. All “YES” forms must be turned in to the administrative office of the school no later than April 17th, 2026. If changes do need to be made, please circle “NO”s (as directed and written in the letter) and proceed to completing the Google form and update your transportation needs for the upcoming school year. The Google form is now accepting responses! Link: 2026-27 School Bus Ridership Form

Please continue to support students in completing their adaptive practice in their online Freckle program on their chromebooks throughout the week. Please support your child in completing a total of 45 minutes at home each week in math for grades 2-5 and in reading for grades 3-5. Help guides are linked below:

A surgery date has been set for one of our very own Rocky Point Elementary family members! Please consider saving and sending in all of your tabs from soda, food and pet food cans before April 2nd in order for us to send them all with the family to the Ronald McDonald House as they head there during spring break. Again, collecting can pop tabs supports the operating costs of providing a home away from home for families with sick children. Let’s work together to collect as many pop tabs as possible!

Throughout the year, you can find school lunch menus for each grade level by following THIS LINK.
