Eagle Families,

It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces at Open House, and we were equally thrilled to welcome so many new Eagles to the MCE family! The building was filled with excitement, smiles, and lots of Eagle energy. We cannot wait to welcome our students back on Monday and officially begin an amazing school year!

As we get ready for the first day, I want to share a few important reminders from our Parent Information Sessions for anyone who was unable to attend:

🚌 Bus Transportation
Students in Pre-K through 2nd grade must have an adult present at the bus stop when boarding and getting off the bus.

Please also be patient with our buses during the first two weeks of school. It takes time to work out the kinks in routes and adjust arrival and drop-off times. Our number one priority is getting every Eagle to and from school safely. We appreciate your patience and understanding as transportation routines are established.

🚗 Transportation Changes
If your child needs a transportation change, please follow the procedures outlined below. Following the proper process helps us ensure that every student gets home safely and goes to the correct location.

⏰ Arrival & Tardies
Our doors open and the first bell rings at 7:20 AM. Students are considered tardy after 7:45 AM. Any student arriving after 7:45 AM must be signed in by an adult in the front office.

🤝 One School. One Team. One Goal.
Please remember that educating our children is a partnership. Families and school staff are on the same team, and we are all working toward the same goal—helping every Eagle feel safe, supported, and successful.

The beginning of a new school year always brings excitement, adjustments, and a few bumps along the way. With patience, communication, and teamwork, we are going to have an incredible year!

Thank you for trusting us with your Little Eagles. We are ready to make some MAGIC happen! ✨

💙💛 Where the Magic Happens and Eagles SOAR! 🦅



Transportation Changes should be made in writing before 2:15PM each day. There are several ways to do this, email your homeroom teacher and Emory_Dorm@pender.k12.nc.us or text 910-663-5637. You should always write a letter to the homeroom teacher and last please call the front office at 910-283-5889.
