π The Weekly Buzz
From Palmer River Elementary School
June 15, 2023
Dear Families,
It is hard to believe we are approaching the FINAL week of the 2022-2023 school year! We are sharing an update regarding teacher assignments so that families can anticipate when this information will be available. We understand that families are eager to learn about new teachers for the upcoming school year, and the district shares in your excitement. During the summer months, school staff and administration continue the important work of building schedules, hiring staff, and assigning new students to classrooms. As a result, your childβs teacher and classroom assignment for the 2023-2024 school year will be released mid-late August, with the exact date to be determined. Once a date has been selected, we will notify families via email and our school website. Additionally, our bus company begins configuring the bus routes in July, and this information will be shared with families via email and posted on our website as soon as they are available. If you have any questions, please reach out the school office at 508-252-5100.
There are lots of important items included in this week's newsletter. The Elementary Summer Reading program is linked below, and the recommended supply lists are included, as well. This upcoming weekend is a long one; we will see students back at PRES on Tuesday. The last day of school is Thursday and it is a half day with dismissal at 12:20pm.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kristine Kefor, Principal

5th GRADE ORIENTATION - AUGUST 31st
We realize that the move from elementary to middle school can make both students and parents anxious. To make this transition as smooth and as comfortable as possible, Beckwith Middle School held a βStep Upβ Day for fourth grade students on June 7th, 2023 and will be holding an Orientation for incoming fifth grade students and their parents on August 31st, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. Students new to the district and their parents will also be invited.
