Champ Choir Concert - Tuesday at 6:00pm

Our 4th & 5th Grade Spring Champ Choir will be on Tuesday, March 19th from 6:00-6:30 in the North Gym.  Please join us!

Thursday Collaboration

We have purchased a pilot license for both NEWSELA (all grades) and Gizmos (grades 3-5, possibly 2nd) as important differentiation resources for the IE block.  This will take us through the end of the year.  If we all agree that these resources are beneficial, we may purchase for the entire year next year.  We will spend our collaboration time on Thursday exploring these resources.  We will also discuss test preparation for grades 3-5.

Spring Testing Preparation 

We have only 3 instructional weeks until grades 3-5 have state summative testing. We will suspend PES EnRICh for the two weeks after spring break to prepare for testing.  Teachers in grades 3-5 may use the IE block for the 2 weeks after spring break for regular instructional time to teach standards.  

Specials Reminder

Please make sure all students attend specials and that they are "on-time".  The only exception is if  PST established a different schedule for a student.  It is difficult for our specialists when they have to repeat the lesson opening and instructions. 

Duty Schedule

Please be sure you are at your am duty station at 7:20.  ALL teachers should stand in the hallway at 8:00 when the bell rings and at 3:00 dismissal (until are students are where they need to be).  Please enforce our two hallways rules:  1) Zone Zero & 2) 3rd Street.
