My name is Kathryn Bates and I am the newly assigned principal to South Topsail Elementary School. I would first off like to say how honored I am to be your next principal. I truly look forward to working along side of you to make this upcoming school year a great success. In preparation of the school year, I would love the opportunity to come together as a community to enhance the current landscaping around the school. It is my goal to make the school shine as bright on the outside as it already does on the inside. I want people to drive past the school and admire our beautiful campus. In order to make this dream a reality, I need your help. We will have two days to work together on our campus beautification project. August 11th and 12th from 7 am- 4 pm will be the dates and times that we will be on campus working. If you are unable to attend this event but would like to donate to our cause, please reach out to our PTO president, Tracy Williams (pto@southtopsailpto.com). She can provide you with tax write-off documentation if your company would also like to donate. Please fill use the link to fill-out the Google Form if you can attend or provide donations/equipment. This time will also serve as my "meet and greet" so please be sure to stop in, check out the progress, and say hello. It is always a great day to be a stingray!

We are excited that we get to offer an accelerator camp that will allow your child the ability to be ready to transition to kindergarten or third grade.

In order to get the addresses to the bus garage in time for the bus coordinator to make routes for the camp, all forms must be submitted by Monday, July 24th even if your child does not need transportation. Limited space is available so students will be selected on a first-come first-served basis. Please use the following Google Form to complete registration.

We are "gliding" through another week of Summer Learning at South Topsail with our STE and TAE students. Today they engineered gliders and tested them out in STEM class.
Students built towers and relationships in STEM today at STE/TAE Summer Learning! It was a great first day with our Stingrays and Ospreys!
We had some big send-offs today at STE. Our fifth grade students celebrated all of their accomplishments in their moving up ceremony, and Mr. Redd and Mrs. Golden were paraded through the halls to celebrate their retirement. We'll miss you all! Have a great summer, Stingrays!
Fifth grade Stingrays started closing out their years at STE today with a foam party! What a fun way to celebrate all of their hard work!
