A huge thank you to all staff, students, and families who supported our Fall Festival last Friday! We had a wonderful turnout, and we are incredibly proud of our PTO for their hard work, planning, and dedication in bringing this event to life.
Congratulations to all of our King and Queen participants and grade-level winners. We are excited to announce our reigning Queen, Miss Linley Hicks, and King, Mr. Hayden Lewis. 👑✨
Thank you again for making this year’s Fall Festival such a success!
Progress reports for Quarter 2 went home Wednesday, November 19. Please carefully review your child’s progress report. Parent-teacher conferences should be scheduled if you have concerns about your child’s grades and/or progress in one or more subjects.
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.

Reminders
Our goal is to maintain a daily attendance rate of 95% or higher! We ask that you assist us in making sure that students are present and on time each day. In the event that your child is going to be absent, please make sure that documentation is provided and you have communicated with your child’s teacher the reason for their absence.
All students entering the school’s front office entrance should be escorted to the front door by an adult at all times. Student check-in is required after 7:35 a.m.
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.
