Weekly Warrior Message

Hello Warrior Families, 💚 PCS Month of Awareness: This week, we recognize Mental Health Awareness, honoring those who live with mental health conditions—both directly and indirectly. Together, we continue to build understanding and support across our Warrior community.

💉 Flu Vaccine Clinic – October 30: We’re pleased to share that the Pender County Health Department, in collaboration with Pender County Schools, will once again offer flu shots at each school this fall.

  • West Pender Middle will host the clinic on October 30, 2025.

  • Please return completed consent forms by October 15, 2025.

  • Paper forms were sent home with students, or you can complete the online form below.

    If you have any questions, please contact Nurse Freeman.

Flu Vaccine Consent Forms: Student Consent Form (English); Formulario de Consentimiento del Estudiante (Español)

📊 Attendance Update: Last week’s attendance rates were:

  • 6th Grade: 96%

  • 7th Grade: 91%

  • 8th Grade: 93%

We’re proud of our Warriors who are showing up ready to learn each day. Strong attendance is the foundation of success—every Warrior, every day! Let’s aim even higher this week.

📝 Behavior Referrals: At WPMS, we believe in setting clear expectations and supporting positive choices. Teachers use many strategies to encourage success, but sometimes an administrative referral is needed. Last week’s referral counts were:

  • 6th Grade: 2

  • 7th Grade: 1

  • 8th Grade: 2

Thank you for partnering with us as we help every student learn and grow in a safe, structured environment.
