PGE is amazing forshore! [July 2021]
I have enjoyed riding my bike to school. If you see me, give me a wave!

My family enjoyed a 15 day East Coast and Great Smokey Mountains summer camping trip. We had a few mechanical challenges but overall made great family memories! We were able to make it to nine states, Washington DC and drove over 3,980 miles.
I officially started my first week in my new role. I have been busy preparing for an amazing school year. I have enjoyed meeting with 40 of my staff members. I have learned so much about PGE and look forward to our upcoming year.
I will do my best to communicate as often as possible so you have information when you need it. Please reach out if you have questions or concerns.

Action Items:
- Limited Space- Sign Up for a Parent Partnership Meeting: I am planning on having a parent meeting pending our cafeteria construction schedule. The purpose of the meeting is to talk about how we will work together this year, create some partnership agreements and participate in some community circles. I have space for 150 parents. It will not be a "sit and get" event. I am asking parents that attend to participate fully in the activities. I will have several staff facilitators to help. Please sign up with this form if you are interested in attending. I will send you more information on the date and time once I get your information. It will be the first week in August in the late afternoon/evening. Click here to sign up if interested in participating: https://forms.office.com/r/a1Qfh85UHQ
- Teachers will be notifying students/parents about classroom assignments prior to Meet the Teacher. We want to be sure we have most of our students registered and in the system to avoid any unnecessary changes.
- PK/Kinder Round Up - Stay tuned for an opportunity for our youngest learners to meet their teachers and visit the classrooms. Date and time coming soon but will be the first week of August.
- Meet the Teacher will be August 9th [4:30-6pm]. More details to follow! Popcorn with the Principal will be from 4-4:30.
