March 25th is LACROSSE SPIRIT NIGHT!
Pirates Argh Better Together!
Thank you all those who donated a pie for our Pi-rate Day! It was a nice treat! Also thanks to Mrs. Jackson for a great Career Day and to our wonderful presenters! Don't forget that tomorrow, Monday, March 21st is a teacher workday, there will be no school for students tomorrow. Tuesday night is our Pizza Hut Spirit Night. Please let them know that you are with SBES and a portion of your sales will go back to our school. Also Tuesday evening, Jacob Cowell will compete in the district Multiplication Bee and Wednesday evening Taylor Tenbrink will compete in the Spelling Bee. Good luck Jacob & Taylor! We are so proud of you! This Friday is the end of the third grading period. Please make sure to complete all makeup work so that your grades are not negatively impacted.
With just one more grading period to go, it is extremely important that students come to school on time, every day ready to learn. Students will begin their end of year assessments in May and we want everyone prepared to do their very best! We know that student success is based on many factors including attitude, effort, work habits, parental involvement, positive school environment, positive teacher student relationships and so much more. We are very blessed at SBES to have such strong partnerships with our families and the school community. This definitely has a positive impact our students' performance. As we begin our final quarter, we also ask parents to please remind students of behavior expectations. We will have lots of fun activities such as Field Day and end of year celebrations. If students do not display appropriate school behavior they will be ineligible to attend this special events. It is important that we are respectful of each other and that we do not let our behavior impede the learning of ourselves and others. Thank you parents for helping reiterating our behavior expectations.
Don't forget that Swansboro Elementary Dance Fit fundraiser that is kicking off on 3/31! Our goal is to raise $25,000 for a covered breezeway to the three new mobile classrooms that we received this year. We are so excited about this fundraiser because it will be fun for all of our students—they’ll take part in a character program, all participate in the Swansboro Elementary Dance Fit and get a needed boost of school spirit, too!
Today, we are asking you to REGISTER your your family on MYBOOSTER.COM.
Look out for more information coming soon. Thank you for your support this year!

COMMUNICATION IS CRITICAL for your child's success:
1. The teacher is always the first point of contact. If you cannot resolve an issue after meeting with the teacher, please schedule an appointment to meet with administration.
2. See our data manager (Lori Jones) to sign up for Parent Portal. This gives you up to date info on student attendance and assignments for (3rd-5th grade).
3. Pay attention to the weekly ALL CALL and EMAIL that is sent out every Sunday evening. If you don't want to listen to the message, no worries, the email contains the transcript as well as important links and cute pictures of our students:) If you are not receiving the call and email, please let Lori Jones (lori.jones@onslow.k12.nc.us) know so that we can make sure your info. is up to date.
