Traditional School Year Begins August 24

Students on Pender County Schools' traditional calendar return to class Monday, August 24. The date applies to Hampstead-area traditional schools, including the Topsail schools, while other district programs may follow different calendars. The district has asked families to keep contact and emergency information current before the year begins. Parents and guardians should also confirm their student's school schedule, transportation details, and any required beginning-of-year updates through the district or individual school.
