Announcements

  • Report cards went home on Tuesday, October 28. Please carefully review your child’s report card. Parent-teacher conferences should be scheduled if you have concerns about your child’s grades and/or progress in one or more subjects. 

  • The Book Fair is coming NEXT WEEK! Join us from November 3rd–7th, open daily from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM. This is a wonderful opportunity to help your child build their home library while supporting our school! Every purchase helps our library earn funds to purchase new books and resources for our students. We can’t wait to see you there! 

  • 🍬 Candy Drive: November 3–14 🍬 We’re kicking off a school-wide candy drive competition to help fill our Fall Festival prize buckets! The grade level that collects the most bags of candy will win a party of their choice, sponsored by our amazing PTO!Thank you for helping make our Fall Festival a sweet success! 🎉

 

  • Nominations for Mr. & Miss C.F. Pope Elementary took place this week. Parents of students who are nominated by the peers in their class/homeroom will be notified by our PTO. If parents/guardians decide to opt-out of participation, the runner up for each class will be selected for participation. 

  • Please continue to read with your students each night and encourage them to take AR tests at school.

    • Join us in the Million Minute Challenge by documenting the amount of time your child(ren) reads each night! Use the provided link to share how many minutes your child read at home. Bookmark the link to visit daily until May 21, 2026.

  • We ask that parents of car riders not arrive before 2:30 in the afternoons to alleviate cars being backed up on N Wright St. School dismisses at 2:35 and students are prepared to leave campus by car at 2:45. Cones to the car lane should only be moved by school personnel to ensure and maintain the safety of students.

  • All parents and visitors will be required to present a valid ID for checkout and school visitation.

  • Any individual checking a student out or visiting the campus must be listed in Infinite Campus.

  • In our attempt to maximize instructional learning, student checkout will not be permitted after 2:00 p.m. Special circumstances will be evaluated on an individual basis by administration.

If you have any questions or concerns, call C.F. Pope Elementary at 910-259-0145. We look forward to seeing our students tomorrow, and have a wonderful evening.
