3.8.2026 Family Newsletter
Parent/Family Newsletter, 3.8.2026
This week we kicked off our March Madness reading. Students have been excited to read the books and choose as a class which one they believe should move on to the next bracket. We are thrilled to keep this going this week.
We also had Read Across America week and were thrilled to have tons of guest readers in throughout the week. We are grateful that Ms. Jones was able to set that up. Just to name a few of our guest readers: Mr. Gidrey, Swansboro Mayor and Fire Chief, SBHS Softball team, multiple people from Onslow County Schools, and MANY more! We are lucky to have great relationships with our community partners.
Tuesday we will have our PTO meeting at 9:30 in the cafeteria. Please join us and hear about all the amazing things our PTO is doing!
Tuesday is also SPRING PICTURE DAY!! Students will take individual pictures with a spring background. So make sure you wear your best smile!
Just a few reminders:
*CAR RIDER DROP OFF AND PICK UP- The flow has not changed. Families need to go around the circle at the high school. Do not turn left into out drop off/pick up circle.
*DROP OFF AFTER 8:30- Any student(s) that is dropped off after 8:30, must have an adult walk them into the building. Once the bell rings our staff comes back into the building and moves into their day. So parents must walk them up and into the office for their tardy slip.
*EARLY CHECK-OUTS- must be done before 2:40. The reason for this is there is a lot of movement that starts at 2:45 to prepare our building for dismissal.
We truly appreciate everyone's help with these things. Our number one goal is to keep our campus safe and consistent with our procedures.
