PPD

Dear Panther Families,

Thank you to all the families that were able to join us for our Panther PRIDE day on Thursday. Our students had a great time working together in cooperative games outside. We even had a visit from the Pentagon Police department who came to cheer the kids on and even gave out some prizes to the classes that were able to tell what PRIDE stands for! 

Do you know what PRIDE stands for? Ask your student! 

Have a beautiful weekend! 

Sincerely, 

Gina O'Neal, Principal

Christine Berry, Assistant Principal

Math is Everywhere! Talking to Your Children about Mathematics

Join the FCPS Elementary Math Team to discuss ways to engage your children in mathematics.  During our time together we will highlight books, games, and other materials that assist you in talking about mathematics with your child throughout the day. Teaching math to your children doesn’t have to be intimidating. This webinar will provide concrete examples for caregivers with ideas to spark math joy.
