What a special morning at Pumpkin Center as we came together to honor and celebrate our veterans! ❤️🤍💙 A heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our veterans and families who joined us for our Veterans Day Program. It was an honor to recognize the brave men and women who have served our country. We are especially proud of our student leaders from Pumpkin Center Primary and Intermediate who helped make the program meaningful by leading the Pledge of Allegiance, reciting "Veterans Day" by Cheryl Dyson, and singing "The Star-Spangled Banner." What a wonderful opportunity for our Eagles to demonstrate leadership while showing gratitude and respect for those who have served! A special thank you to our community partners, Ingles, Panera Bread, and Bojangles, for generously sponsoring breakfast for our veterans! We appreciate your support in helping make this morning special. To all of our veterans, thank you for your service, sacrifice, and dedication to our country. We are grateful for the opportunity to honor you with our Pumpkin Center family!

Final reminder of new attendance policy before it starts Wednesday:

📢 Attendance Update for Parents

The state of North Carolina has released new attendance codes that our school will be using moving forward.

Please note: If your student is checked out early from school after 11:30AM, the early checkout will be coded as a 2P – Unexcused Early Checkout unless a doctor’s note is provided. If you provide a note, then it will be coded as 1P - Excused Early Checkout.

Please keep this in mind when making plans for early dismissal. A doctor’s note must be provided for the early checkout to be excused.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
