Achieving Excellence Together
Weekly Parent Update
Thank you to all the families that were able to make it out for our Winter Concert and the Pickens Parade. It was such a fun week seeing so many families! We have another fun-filled week planned for students! Please see our Holiday Spirit Week infographic below for daily themes.
Classroom parties will be Thursday afternoon. "Drop-In" any time between 1:00-1:45 pm to visit your student during their party. Please enter through our main office. Classroom trees will also be on display for parents to enjoy our "Festival of Trees" during this time. Our Santa Shop, hosted by PTO, will be open in the PLC room (near 1st grade classrooms). Parents will be able to sign their student(s) out with each classroom teacher. All parents will be asked to leave at 1:45 pm so that we can ensure all traffic/parking is moved before our buses arrive at 2 pm.
Our Santa Shop, hosted by PTO, will be open this week Tuesday-Thursday, 7:30 am - 2:00 pm. Teachers will send students that would like to go during non-instructional breaks throughout the day. Prices range from $1-$15, mostly ranging in the $1-$5 price range.
We are looking forward to a special week before the holiday break!
Achieving Excellence Together,
