Topsail Annandale Elementary School

🚨 Important Notice for Local Businesses and Our Community We’ve been made aware of a scam involving a company called Elite Sports Promo (https://www.elitesportspromos.com/) that is falsely claiming to represent Pender High School and Pender County Schools while seeking sponsorship funds. Reports from other districts indicate that multiple businesses have already been misled. To be clear, no Pender County School partners with outside marketing companies to secure sponsorships. The only legitimate organizations authorized to collect funds for our athletic programs are the Booster Clubs. If your business is contacted by anyone claiming to represent our school for advertising or sponsorship purposes, we encourage you to verify their identity and contact your school directly. You can read more about this scam on the Better Business Bureau website: 🔗 https://www.bbb.org/us/tx/fort-worth/profile/advertising-agencies/elite-sports-promos-0825-1000198130 Thank you for helping us protect our community.

Congratulations to Mrs. Jefferys and Ms. Watkins on completing their BT program. We are so happy for you and are so lucky to have you at the Nest.

Thank you for your patience.

Actualmente, una interrupción del servicio de Internet está afectando a las escuelas de Topsail y Surf City, lo que podría impactar tanto el Internet como las líneas telefónicas en esas ubicaciones. Four County Electric ha confirmado que el problema se debe a una línea de fibra óptica que fue cortada. En este momento, no hay un tiempo estimado para la restauración del servicio. Estamos trabajando activamente con Four County Electric para monitorear la situación y publicaremos actualizaciones en nuestro sitio web y canales de redes sociales tan pronto como haya más información disponible.

An Internet outage is currently impacting Topsail and Surf City Schools, potentially affecting both Internet and phone lines at these locations. Four County Electric has confirmed that the issue stems from a fiber line that was cut. At this time, there is no estimated time for restoration.
