We're so thankful to have a well organized & enthusiastic PTA at Surf City Elementary. Let's support them by getting our class t-shirt orders in tomorrow and then attending their first meeting on Sept 8 right after school.
Good morning Surf City Elementary Families! Bus 288 will be approximately 1 hour late this morning. We are apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your continued support.
Ms. Bohrer's 1st grade class enjoyed the book First Day Jitters, sipped Jitter Juice, and started building new friendships! Their first day was full of smiles, stories and a lot of fun.
Mrs. Burnett's 3rd grade class was busy today discussing with their partner how to best organize and count a collection of objects. Efficient counting to help with multiplication is coming soon!
In Mrs. Horne's 5th grade ELA classes, students were asked to investigate their teacher. Students were thrilled to get special permission to peek inside the teacher's desk drawers, search the shelves and scan the walls to find evidence that reflects their teacher's personality, hobbies and other characteristics. Students gathered evidence and completed a written summary of their findings. This activity was a great warm up to citing evidence.
🚍 We know the first day of the three-tier schedule brought some challenges, while we continue to work to make improvements there is a free tool that can be helpful for families - the Here Comes the Bus app.
With this free app, parents can:
✅ See their child’s bus location on a map
✅ Get alerts when the bus is near your stop or school
✅ Gain peace of mind with notifications when the bus arrives in your area
The good news is that traffic flow improved by 30 minutes in some areas after adjustments from day one. While we continue to make changes, the Here Comes the Bus app can provide extra confidence and convenience for families.

Good afternoon. Thank you for your GRACE and PATIENCE. As you know, today was day #1 of brand new start times for Pender County. Please be reminded elementary starts dismissal at 2:55. Middle school starts dismissal at 3:30. Middle school parents do NOT need to get into the car rider line prior to 3:30 because you will have to circle back around. Elementary parents who arrive late will get stuck in middle school line so the earlier the better. Hopefully more students will be riding buses tomorrow. Morning drop off went great. If it is your child's second day tomorrow, please drop off in the line versus parking and walking in. THANK YOU!! It will only get better from here. Kindergarten parents are welcome to walk students in on their first day. Overall, we had an amazing first day at Surf City Elementary!
All buses have arrived and will be on the road soon.
Good afternoon Surf City Families!
We still have students who ride buses 280, 284, 281, 323, and 279 on campus as the buses have not arrived yet. We are still waiting on news of when they will arrive. We will update you as soon as we can. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

We are so excited to welcome Officer Kelley to our Sea Turtle family. Officer Kelley will play a vital role as the SRO at SCE. Just as Officer Wyke did, he'll continue to keep our schools safe and foster positive relationships with students. And don't fear, Officer Wkye will be next door at SCM, so we'll still see his smiling face around campus. 👮🏻♂️🐢
📌📅 Be sure to bring cash or check with you to Open House on Thursday. You'll be able to order your child's class t-shirt in the classroom with their teacher. 💵
What a great turn out this morning for Kindergarten Orientation. We're psyched to have these amazing little sea turtles join us this school year. We'll see you soon! 💙🐢💚
