It has been a great week at North Topsail Elementary! We welcomed back the staff and were treated to Restored Coffee thanks to our PTA! Tuesday, everyone in PCS attended the annual Convocation at HTHS. Our proud Principal of the Year, Mrs. Robertson spoke during the kick off and three of our 5th grade students served on a student panel. We are so proud of our 1st grade team and 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Fulbright as they presented sessions throughout the day. Thursday was OPEN HOUSE! We are so excited and ready for a FANTASTIC 25-26 school year where "We are Better Together, Upward We Go!" #OnePender

📢 North Carolina law now requires all public schools to show safety education videos to students in grades 6–12 within the first five days of the school year.

🛡️ As part of the Protecting Our Students Act (S.L. 2023-128), these age-appropriate videos help students recognize and report signs of abuse, neglect, or unsafe situations and emphasize that reporting is always confidential.

🎥 Pender County Schools is committed to complying with this mandate and making sure students know how to stay safe and seek help if needed. Look for information from your school in your email or sent home with your student once classes begin.
