NEW ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL
Parents, as you most of you know by now we have some new Triangle Staff family members this year including our new Assistant Principal, Charlotte Cantwell.
Mrs. Cantwell has been a special education teacher and intervention specialist for 20 years. Her most recent position was as an Administrative Intern at Neabsco ES, following two years as a CEIS Specialist. She has served Prince William County Schools since 2006, and is committed to excellence in education for all students.
If you have any questions or need to get in contact with her please feel free to give her a call at 703.221.4114. or by email at cantwecw@pwcs.edu,
Mrs, Cantwell is more than happy and ready to assist you with anything you need help in.
NO EARLY DISMISSAL AFTER 3:15PM
Parents, as most of you know WE WILL NOT BE DISMISSING AFTER 3:15PM
Due to many reasons, one of them being that our buses start to come in at that time and we do not want the front circle being blocked by cars, it causes our buses to be held up and students from getting home on time.
If you plan on picking your child up early, you are more than welcomed to send in a note, email or call letting the front office and teacher know.
We will more than happy to have your child ready for you when you arrive.
Please feel free to call our main office at 703.221.4114 or email Ms. Marina at arbaizmj@pwcs.edu or Mrs. Olympia at asselaox@pwcs.edu
Thank you for your cooperation!
We appreciate it so much!
KINDER BUS EMERGENCY FORMS
Kindergarten Parents, Please return the following bus emergency form that was sent home today in your child's Friday Folder.
We need this form starting Monday so that the bus drivers know who they are allowed to drop your students off with at the end of the day.
IF THE FORM IS NOT RETURNED BY TUESDAY, THEY WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO PICK THEM UP AND WILL BE RETURNED BACK TO THE SCHOOL.
When you turn this form in please, remember to always have your ID with you when picking them up, sometimes a substitute bus driver will drop them off and they will need to check ID.
IF NO ID IS SHOWN THE STUDENT WILL NOT BE RELEASED AND AGAIN WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE SCHOOL.
This is all for the safety of our students, we appreciate your help in advance!
BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT
Parents, we encourage you to join at "Back To School Night"
Thursday, September 27 from 6:00PM - 7:30PM.
This will give you and your family a chance to meet your child's teacher, school as well as meet the Triangle Staff.
We will have multiple stations open to sign your child up in fun clubs as well as informing yourself with any questions you might have about the school or just questions in general.
We will be more than happy to assist you in whatever you need help in.
Below are some of the stations we will have that night.
Running Club, Parent Liaison, PTO Sign-Up and much more.
We hope to see you there!!!!
UNEXCUSED ABSENCES!
URGENT MESSAGE!!
If you know your child is going to be absent a certain day or is sick,
we ask that you send in a note or email beforehand at arbaizmj@pwcs.edu.
IT IS URGENT THAT A NOTE IS SENT IN OR EMAILED SO YOUR CHILD DOES NOT ACCUMULATE "UNEXCUSED ABSENCES"
IT IS AND WILL BE MANDATORY TO HAVE A MEETING WITH AN ATTENDANCE OFFICER AND BEGIN AN ATTENDANCE CONTRACT.
We do not want it to get to that point so please remember to call and send in or email a note when your child is absent.
Also, if you are planning to take your child out for a week, please know that it needs to be
PRE-APPROVED by our principal Laura Elliott.
If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to ask Ms. Marina by phone at 703.221.4114. or by email arbaizmj@pwcs.edu.
Thank you so much for your help!!
ICE CREAM SOCIAL!!!
Our PTO committee has planned an Ice Cream Social for our Triangle Families on
Thursday, September 20th, 2018 from 6:00pm-7:00pm.
We ask that join us in this event which will be located on the lower field by the big playground, this will be a great opportunity to get our community together and be able to get to know each-other better like the Triangle Family we are.
It wouldn't be an "Ice-Cream Social" without YOU there!!
