Husky Tracks
May 5, 2023
Principal's Message
Congratulations to all of our city track athletes! They all represented PRT well! What an unbelievable track season not only with our students' performance but that was the best spring weather we've had for track meets! Congratulations to all who participated in track and to our track coaches!
A huge thank you to our families for your generosity with teacher appreciation gift card donations and notes of thanks! We have had a wonderful week celebrating our staff! I know I may be biased but we have a phenomenal group of educations who show up every day to support our students. They go above and beyond to meet kids where they are, build authentic relationships with them and foster a high level of growth and achievement. I am honored every day to work alongside this dedicated group of educators. THANK YOU teachers and staff for all you do!
The countdown is on - 12.5 more days of school. Next week is a big week with our last round of testing.
Have a wonderful weekend!

A Note From the Library
Dear Husky Families,
As the 2022-23 school year wraps up, the library must collect nearly 1,000 books that are currently checked out, overdue or have been marked lost. Students can check Destiny Follett in ClassLink to see what is on their accounts.
***All library materials are due and must be returned by Friday, May 12, 2023.***
Continue to check parent/guardian and student emails to know if you have books due or overdue as well as library fines for lost books. Books that have been marked as lost are done so for two reasons: students report a book is missing or the Destiny system marks a book lost once it has been overdue for 90 calendar days. Library fines can be paid on mypaymentsplus.com
Ms. Brewer will be going over accounts with all students through their ELA class during the week of May 8th. However, checkouts don’t end until Friday, May 12th and check-ins will be the remainder of the school year.
Thank you for being wonderful readers and library patrons all year long and thank you for helping to make the end of the school year as wonderful as possible too!
Have a Wonderful Weekend!
