Principal's Communication

 

1/9/22

Good afternoon, families,

This is Mrs. Gold with your first phone message of the new year. I hope you have had a wonderful holiday season and are ready to get back to the routines and rhythms of school.  

I have 6 important things to share with you:

First, our first day back to school is not Monday, but Tuesday.  Monday is a staff development day, so students have one last day to get back into it.  There will be NO minimum days this week.  See you Tuesday at the usual time (7:40 for 4th and 5th; 8:05 for K-3).

Second, in an effort to promote home testing and potentially prevent further spread of the Covid virus, rapid tests were distributed to schools.  If you would like to stop by between 12:45 and 2 pm tomorrow, Monday the 10th, test kits are available and free.  

Third,  our January Tiger Talk is ready for your viewing at www.smore.com/6pejc.  This newsletter contains all the details about everything I’ve mentioned in this call plus more including yearbook information and our January menus.

Fourth, our monthly PTO meeting is Tuesday, January 11th at 6:30 in the library.  All are welcome.

Fifth, a brief reminder that our 4th and 5th-grade boys basketball tryouts are Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th from 2-3:30 in the gym.  Permission slips for this were due prior to the Christmas break.  Congratulations to all who are courageous enough to try out- you’ve already done something amazing!

Finally, next Monday is another holiday celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr.  School will resume on Tuesday with no minimum day again next week.

Thanks for listening and Happy New Year,

Mrs. Gold
