Wildcat Weekly 1/15-19
Proud Principal of Pomerado Elementary School
I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend with family and friends. We have some exciting events planned this month at school.
Career Day on January 24
Our wonderful PAWs team has organized a Career Day event on Wednesday, 1/24. We have many wonderful Wildcat parents who have volunteered to talk about their careers with our students which include an architect, scientist, stormwater consultant, NBC news anchor, creative director/blogger, Rady Childrenβs Hospital medical team, and more.
We are so excited for this cool Career Day event for our Wildcats!
Great Kindness Challenge- Jan. 22-26
Across the county, school communities will be participating in the national Great Kindness Challenge. Our Student Council team is planning kindness activities for Pomerado. If you want to learn more, you can watch the 2024 GKC Kickoff Video.
Continuing Student Family Survey
It is hard to believe it but our district has already begun planning for the 2024-2025 school year! In an effort to help us provide the most accurate information about the number of students who will be returning next year, please complete THIS SURVEY no later than January 28, 2024. This will provide us with the number of returning students as well as those who will be leaving Pomerado Elementary and will ensure that your child(ren) is enrolled correctly in the 2024-2025 school year. Please submit one form per student.
Families do not need to complete the form for current 5th-grade students because they will be automatically enrolled in 6th-grade at their school of residence. This is NOT continuing student registration. Continuing student registration will take place March 1st-31st and is for ALL students enrolled in PUSD for the 2024-2025 school year. Visit PUSD Continuing Student Registration for more information.
