Today, our students got to show Dr. Breedlove how our Ospreys SOAR, as he spent the day with us listening and learning. Not only were our students working hard building their knowledge and skills, but showed their kindness, compassion, and joy. We are so proud of our students and our staff who help build this success each and everyday. TAES is the place to be!
Why is attendance important?
Due to overwhelming support, Pender EMS is closing donations at 1pm today. Pender EMS may open for more donations at a later point depending on the needs from that area. Please do not continue to drop items off at Pender County Schools locations until further notice. THANK YOU!! #OnePender
Pender EMS and Fire are collecting donations to be delivered to our neighbors in Western North Carolina who have suffered from the kind of historic flooding that we know all too well. They are making a delivery this Wednesday. Just as the state mobilized to help us six years ago, we want to mobilize to help now. Our schools are collecting water, nonperishable food items, personal hygiene items, baby wipes, diapers, blankets, shoes, socks, water, soda, clothing, paper products and cleaning supplies on Monday and Tuesday of this week and that these items will be delivered to the Pender County EMS and Fire on Tuesday afternoon. We will have a table set up in the front lobby to collect donations.
Pender County Schools is closely monitoring the weather conditions related to Hurricane Helene. A decision regarding Friday’s schedule will be made by noon on Thursday. We will provide further updates as necessary. Please stay tuned for any announcements.

Ordering has been extended through Wednesday. Get yourself a delicious dinner and take a night off of cooking!
This year, each morning our students start their day with the National Anthem. It's a beautiful sight to walk in to a classroom and hear them all singing.
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.
📢 Schools Open on Normal Schedule Wednesday, September 18! 📚
We’re happy to inform you that all Pender County Schools will resume regular operations on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Kindergarteners enjoyed Fun Friday extension activities for their Wit and Wisdom Module 1 study of “My Five Senses.” Students used four of their five senses to make and explore scratch and sniff paint. They also explored adjectives to describe their sense of taste with a taste test. Lemons and baker’s chocolate elicited some pretty funny faces.
Due to the current weather conditions, Pender County Schools is moving to an early release schedule. Additionally, all after-school activities have been canceled.
To view the updated bell schedule for early release, please visit our website - https://www.pender.k12.nc.us/page/school-bell-schedule
At this time, we plan to resume our normal schedule tomorrow.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Please stay safe.
