Urgent Message for our Kindergarten students that received a Final Notice Letter for Immunizations:. Beginning Sept 25th students will be excluded from school as per state law for not having up-to-date immunization records. For your convenience, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services provides a comprehensive guide to immunization requirements. Parents with questions or concerns about immunizations are encouraged to contact the school nurse or the health services department.
Pender County Schools has moved from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus for the Student Information System (SIS). Pender County Schools will be utilizing Infinite Campus (the new SIS) to complete certain updates required at the start of the school year for access to grades, attendance and other updates throughout the year. To request access to your Parent Portal Credentials, please complete the google form found HERE. This is for PARENTS and GUARDIANS ONLY. You only need to provide information for ONE student (Your Oldest Student) to receive parent portal access for all students. Once you create your account, you will be able to add/view your other student(s) information. ONLY COMPLETE THE FORM ONCE. This will avoid confusion and will provide a quicker process to release letters. Please allow 24-48 hours to process your request as the information provided must and will be verified before the letters are sent to families.
Progress Reports go home Tuesday. Once everything in IC is stable, we will also send home additional student information within the next couple of weeks.

Nothing is better than the "extra special" hugs from grandparents!
More of the wonderful pictures from Grandparent's Breakfast in the Eagle's Nest!
Our "Lost and (needs to be) Found" area is growing. Please ask your Eagle to check the area for a missing item.
Look at all this happiness in the pictures .... we might need a Spring Event to bring our "Grand-Eagles" back to the nest! (We do have a book fair afterschool event in 2 weeks!)
Check out all those smiles! Our little Eagles LOVED showing off their grandparents!
You might even catch a current Eagle staff member in these photos too ...
Thank you "Grand-Eagles" for coming to have breakfast with your little Eagles last week! We had an incredible turn out - over 260 grandparents and everyone had a great time. Thank you to Mrs. Havens for snapping so many pictures! We will slowly be uploading these to the website over the next few days! Look closely and you'll see familiar faces (former teachers, former Eagles ... this was like a homecoming at MCE!.) Learning is better when we're together - including our grandparents!!
Pender County School Families,
Today a few school districts in North Carolina were affected by false reports of violence on their campuses. We have been in contact with local law enforcement and there is no credible threat to any of our schools. It appears to be part of a hoax known as “swatting.”
While Pender County Schools has not experienced this issue directly, we know the message is circulating on social media and that many of our families may be understandably concerned about school safety. Please know that our top priority is the safety and well-being of our students and staff. We take any and all reports of potential threats seriously, and we are making every effort to maintain an environment where students and staff feel safe.
We would like to continue to remind our students and school community, if you see something, “Say Something” using our reporting system located on the main webpage of every school as well as the Pender County Schools mobile app. Also always report, don’t repost. Sharing false information, making threats, and engaging in online harassment are serious offenses that can have severe consequences.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your individual school. Thank you for your attention to this important update.
