Hello Pyle Families! I’m Mrs. Ashton, your TK teacher. I have been a teacher at Ernie Pyle for 27 years in grades Kindergarten- Third grade, and now the Transitional kindergarten teacher. I love my job and being able to see so much growth and progress over the years. Last year I was chosen as Bellflower’s Teacher of the Year, as well as LA county. It was a tremendous honor.

No Tardy Party

No Tardy Party

Every trimester the students at Ernie Pyle who did not have any Tardies are invited to a No Tardy Party. This year for the first trimester students will be able to enjoy a painting party at lunchtime on Thursday, December 1 (grades 1,2,5,6), or Friday, December 2 (grades k,3,4). If your student did not make it for this trimester there are still two more trimesters left for this attendance reward to be earned. Thank you to all of our families for helping your student come to school every day that your student is feeling well on time and ready to learn.
