Come enjoy a popsicle, meet other kindergarten families, exchange contact information, and let the kids start making friends before the first day of school. We hope to see you there!
Plan ahead to make memories this year without losing instructional time.
📚 The countdown is on—just 38 days until students on our traditional calendar return to school on Monday, August 24!
As we prepare for the 2026–27 school year, families are asked to complete their student’s Beginning of Year Information Update. This update is not required for newly enrolled students.
Keeping contact and emergency information current helps ensure a safe, smooth and successful start from day one.

Calling all RoboStingrays! We’re excited to share that this is the very first year of the Bogobots Summer Camp Program, and we’re kicking things off in a big way with our inaugural summer camp! Bogobots is all about giving students a hands-on, engaging experience in robotics where they can learn coding, engineering basics, building strategies, teamwork, and even marketing skills as part of a real robotics team environment.
This summer camp is targeted towards 4th-6th graders who are interested in robotics and STEM. They will work with modern, hands-on robotics kits similar to those used in competitive programs like FIRST LEGO League. These robots are built using LEGO components and programmable hubs, allowing students to design, build, and customize their own creations. This summer camp will take place from July 27–31. 8:30am -5:30pm
This week we’re recognizing Ms. Talia England, Speech Language Pathologist at South Topsail Elementary School.
Ms. England is a consistent source of support for both students and staff. She works closely with her teams to provide resources, share strategies, and help others better support student communication. Whether she’s creating materials, leading trainings, or sharing helpful information, she is always willing to step in and help.
She is also known for her positive and friendly approach. She takes time to connect with others, greet people each day, and help create a welcoming environment in the school. Her presence makes a difference in the day-to-day experience for those around her.
💛💙 Thank you, Ms. England, for the support you provide and for the role you play in helping South Topsail Elementary run smoothly.
