Padilla Elementary School
A Note from Principal Purfurst
I hope that all of you have a relaxing winter break filled with time with those that matter most to you! We are looking forward to our second semester here and to all of the amazing learning your children will be doing!
One of the traditions that we will unfortunately miss out on as we finish our this semester is the ability of families to participate in our holiday parties, much like we did during Halloween. Because of current COVID layers of protection, we cannot have large groups of visitors in classrooms. Individual teachers may need support from volunteers, but those numbers will be limited. If you have questions about your child's teacher's needs, please reach out to them directly.
An Update from Dean Hawkins
Drills this week:
There are no scheduled drills this week. However Last week we successfully completed a Shelter Hazmat drill as well as our monthly Evac-Fire drill. Both drills were completed successfully with our students and staff doing tremendous jobs!
English Language Learning Students
When we return from Winter Break, our EL students will be taking the ACCESS test, Jan 11-Jan 26. We greatly appreciate your help to ensure your student’s attendance during this testing window. Additional communication in regards to the scheduling and assessment will be sent out the week of January 3rd. Thank you!
Vape Found:
This past week a Vape was found outside on the back playground. We share this info with you for the purpose of being transparent and to also make you aware as to how similar this particular Vape looked to an actual eraser that many of our students keep in their desks. After some investigation and many hours of watching video, we believe that the Vape was left on the playground last weekend not during school hours. As we work together to educate our students, we ask that when you feel it appropriate to please have the conversation with your student about the dangers of all smoke and smokeless products.
Thank you for your help with this important issue!
