Please help us celebrate Mrs. Cramer, our Assistant Principal, this week during National Assistant Principal Week! We are thankful she is a part of our Rocky Point family and appreciate her dedication to our students, families and staff.

This week is going to be a very busy week for our students. On Tuesday, April 8th, our 3rd - 5th grade students will take their Spring NC Math Check-ins and on Thursday, April 10th, these students will take their Spring NC Reading Check-ins. Please make sure students get a good night’s rest and a healthy breakfast in order to do their best on their state assessments. Please note that if your student in grade 3-5 has not arrived by 7:20am on these dates, you will receive a phone call as we aim to have all students present prior to beginning state testing.

Also, this week on Thursday, April 10th, we are inviting all families to join us for our Science Night supported by Duke Energy from 4:30 - 6:30pm. Food will be provided at this event. We will begin this event with a performance by our 4th & 5th grade students in the gym at 4:30pm. Science stations will begin at approximately 5:00pm and last through 6:30pm. At 6:00pm, 3rd grade families are invited to attend an evening session for the EOG Parent Night as those students prepare to take an EOG for their first time.

This Friday, April 11 our Preschool students will have their Field Day at Heide Trask High School beginning at 9:00am.

Additionally, all families are invited to attend the Sensory Sensation Event at Topsail High School this Saturday, April 12th from 12:00 -3:00pm.

On Saturday, April 12, HELP SUPPORT THE TITANS!! The HTHS Annual BBQ Plate Fundraiser is this upcoming Saturday, April 12th. You can pay by cash app or Venmo or the link below.

A reminder to complete and return the transportation paper letters that were sent home with all students last week. If you circle “NO”, as indicated on the parent letter, you will need to complete the Google form linked below and update your transportation needs for the upcoming school year. Again, we are asking for these forms to be turned in prior to Wednesday, April 16th and returning these forms will support efficient routing from the start for the 2025-26 school year!

Pender County Schools has partnered with RTI International to create its next strategic plan and we need your feedback on what we have developed thus far. Please review the questions below and share your thoughts on how well these elements reflect what is most important for Pender County Schools over the next five years.

In an effort to continuously move our students forward academically, we have recently implemented a program called Freckle across all grade levels. Students will be coming home with Chromebooks two days of the week to allow them to work on the adaptive pathway for the skills needed. You are able to access it through Classlink
