📢 North Carolina law now requires all public schools to show safety education videos to students in grades 6–12 within the first five days of the school year.

🛡️ As part of the Protecting Our Students Act (S.L. 2023-128), these age-appropriate videos help students recognize and report signs of abuse, neglect, or unsafe situations and emphasize that reporting is always confidential.

🎥 Pender County Schools is committed to complying with this mandate and making sure students know how to stay safe and seek help if needed. Look for information from your school in your email or sent home with your student once classes begin.

🎉 This week, three beginning Topsail CTE teachers joined two fellow beginning CTE teachers from across Pender County at the CTE Summer Conference in Winston-Salem!

Throughout the week, they explored strategies to support student success, strengthen classroom instruction, and grow as CTE professionals. 💡✏️

These dedicated educators are one step closer to completing the New Teacher Induction Program, and we can’t wait to see the positive impact they’ll have on our students this school year! 👏

Attention Class of 2026,

If you were unable to sign up for a June portrait date, August dates have been opened! Portrait sessions will be in the THS cafeteria August 11-15. Appointments will fill up quickly, so schedule soon for your portrait session.

Please use this link to schedule your time. These are the portraits that will be used in the yearbook and are available for purchase.

Below is additional information and clarification about senior portraits:

1. Senior Portraits in the summer are done by Strawbridge and include several poses. There is a sitting fee of $39.00 paid to Strawbridge. This has nothing to do with yearbook except Strawbridge shares the gown/tuxedo pose with us to use for the yearbook. In the fall, parents will receive a link by email with the digital proofs to order copies/packages of any of the photos they want.

2. If students can't make any of the summer portrait sessions OR they only want the one pose for the yearbook without paying the sitting fee, there will be a make-up dates on September 11th and 12th for the gown/tuxedo pose that we will use in the yearbook. Parents will receive a link in the fall with the proofs to order for themselves.

3. Students do not need to wear or bring their own formal wear. Strawbridge provides the gown cover-up and the tuxedo top for students to wear in the formal portrait pose.

Thank you and have a great rest of your summer! Go Pirates!
