CFIE Mission:
IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR THE WEEK AHEAD!
- Lockdown Drill on November 30th. The front office will not be able to answer the phone or door during the drill.
- Please keep your child's lunch account up to date so they have enough money on their account to purchase their breakfast/lunch and, if you allow, snacks. OCS makes it easy by having a way to make payments online!
TITLE I NEWS!
Here is the link to the Title I Page on our school website: https://www.onslow.k12.nc.us/site/Default.aspx?PageID=31087
This link will take you to the resources shared last week at our parent workshop. You will find documents and links that were shared. Please make sure to check out the links to the website available for reading resources/books! If you have not signed up for free public library membership, do so ASAP as there are many resources available through them as well!
On the website you will also find a link for resource bags. Reminders will be going out/have been sent out to return any bags currently checked out, and new bags will be sent home that have been requested. We are currently in the process of creating Spanish resource bags, so please look for more information to come forth soon!

MFLC Support Corner
Students created holiday cards in Art to brighten the day of our military, who may be away from home and needing a little reminder that they are thought of and appreciated for all they do to keep our nation safe. This service action brought smiles to the faces of our students as we hope will do the same for our military!
