 Dear Panther Families,
We are excited for our PAWS and Read Week coming up. We look forward to seeing our students participate in the spirit week (see below) and the other fun literacy activities we have planned. We also hope to see family members visiting school as classroom guest readers. If you haven't signed up and would like to, please email your child's teacher or call the office. Happy reading!
Sincerely,
Gina O'Neal, Principal
Kristen Robinson, Assistant Principal
Christine Berry, Assistant Principal
Cultural Observances
Throughout the year, as we celebrate and recognize various cultural holidays and observances, families are encouraged to contact the office regarding accommodations, including but not limited to those around lunch, prayer/meditation and silent reflection spaces and times, and instruction.
A lo largo del año, cuando celebramos y reconocemos diversas festividades y observancias culturales, se anima a las familias a ponerse en contacto con el [director de su estudiante] con respecto a las adaptaciones, incluyendo pero no limitado a los relacionados con el almuerzo, la oración / meditación y espacios y tiempos de reflexión en silencio, y la instrucción.
Important Reminder about Early Dismissal
Students can not be dismissed from the office after 2:30pm. The end of the school day is a very busy time. Both office staff and teachers are preparing for dismissal. If you have an appointment or need to pick your student up early from school, please plan to check them out prior to 2:30pm. Thank you!
