A Message from Pender County Schools
TAES & TMS Families,
We are in desperate need of sub bus drivers. When drivers are out for various reasons, we do not have anyone who can drive for them. Due to the shortage, we are going to have to run additional double routes as well as some triple routes this week and going forward to cover buses. If you know of anyone willing to drive a bus daily or from time to time, please email leigh_gates@pender.k12.nc.us. If you make alternate pick up arrangements for your child, please communicate all transportation changes with your child's teacher.
* If, by chance, we find a sub driver who can run the routes on time, we will update families via email only. We will not send a phone call message, so please monitor email for updates to route 277 today and tomorrow.
Today 1/30 & Tomorrow 1/31
1/30 Bus 277 1st route pm will be dropped off by bus 281 at about the typical time.
1/30 Bus 277 2nd route pm will run about 30 minutes late in the afternoon. Students will be dropped off by bus 218.
1/31 Bus 277 1st route am will run about 1 hour late in the morning. Students will be picked up by bus 307.

Osprey Families-
Due to bad storms headed our way, Pender County Schools is canceling all after school activities, including PACES after school care for all PCS schools. If your child typically stays for afterschool care, please contact your child's teacher and let them know how you want your child to get home. If you are unable to get here by dismissal, we will hold PACES students until parents arrive, but please pick your child up as close to dismissal (2:30) as possible.


Due to the threat of severe weather in the area, all Pender County Schools after school activities on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 have been canceled. #PCSPride


At this time, repairs have been made to our water supply and it is safe for our students to return to school Friday - we will be operating on normal schedule. UPDATE - https://bit.ly/3IGBVeE
