Swansboro High School
Weekly Updates August 25, 2019
Happy Sunday Pirate Families-
We hope that you have enjoyed your summer breaks and are ready to be back in action tomorrow! Doors will be unlocked daily at 6:55 am and students must be in class by 7:10 am. All students should report to their homeroom classes on Monday morning, even students with late arrival. Parents are also reminded that car riders can only be dropped off in the front circle and students who park on campus must have a parking pass. There will be no student drop off in parking areas.
Last week was a special week at Swansboro High School! We hosted open house, welcomed the fall sporting season and dedicated our tennis courts to former coach and athletic director Jim Sheehan. Our football teams brought home victories in both season openers and our ladies tennis team won their match against East Carteret on Thursday night. Our soccer team won their match against Ashley High School and played hard at the Wake Med tournament this weekend. Our volleyball team had strong performances with 3 regular season matches this week and did an outstanding job hosting the annual Joseph L. Beasley Spike Fest at the Beach on Saturday. This week in athletics will include tennis at Croatan and volleyball at East Duplin on Tuesday, tennis at New Bern, volleyball against Dixon and soccer against Laney at home on Wednesday. Golf will travel to The Emerald while volleyball is at Richalnds and JV football at Croatan on Thursday. Friday will include tennis at home against Lejuene, soccer at the Mellow Mushroom Tournament in Boone and varsity football at home against Croatan. Saturday will include another round of soccer at the Mellow Mushroom Tournament and cross country at the Jungle Run.
Connected students are successful students! Please encourage your student to participate in clubs and attend sporting events. The best way to save on admission is through the purchase of an athletic pass for either individual students or families. Individual student passes are just $120 for the year and includes entry to all home games and a free hot dog and drink. This is a savings of over $545 and you can't put a price tag on the priceless memories your student will make.

News from Child Nutrition
The OCS School Nutrition Department wants to make sure all students have access to healthful meals both at breakfast and lunch in the school cafeteria. Beginning on the first day of school, students wishing to purchase meals in the cafeteria must have money on their account or pay with either a check or cash at the time of purchase. High school students are not able to charge meals.
Your child’s free or reduced meal status will roll-over to the new school year, however, to avoid any lapse in benefits, a new application must be completed. If you feel you may qualify to receive free or reduced meal benefits, please apply as soon as possible. A link to the 2019-2020 meal benefit applications can be found in the District Announcements on the OCS District website.
