A Note from Mrs. Hoke
I hope that this newsletter finds everyone doing well and staying healthy. We are halfway through the First Quarter and families will receive Interim Reports on Friday, September 25th. This interim will look slightly different in that it will only contain feedback and comments in lieu of grades.
Also, WCPSS is seeking your feedback. Your feedback is important, so please take a moment to take the WCPSS Parent Survey.
In closing, we hope that you will also join our PTA. The partnership between home and school is crucial to our success. We hope that you will continue to support our school despite the learning environments that we are currently engaged in. While the delivery of instruction may be different, the vision and purpose of our school remain the same.
Thank you to parents who have taken a moment out of their busy days to send me emails thanking our school for the work that we are doing. Your emails are encouraging, uplifting, and often very timely. Thank you for sharing your support and appreciation.
Mrs. Hoke
Thank you Families for all that you are doing for your children. You're doing great! From Mrs. Hoke

Penny Road families!
We are excited to kick off our Penny Road Virtual DanceFit on October 12!
We have 3 goals for this year's program:
1. Bringing our school community together for some FUN!
2. Inspiring our students to be active and activate their character building.
3. Raising funds to support our school’s technology based learning platforms specifically Lexia.
We are so excited for DanceFit! We will bring our school together for 8 days of celebration, fun, and nightly character challenges as we work towards helping our school raise some much-needed funds. This year more than ever, we need additional funds to provide an excellent educational experience for all of our students.
We completely understand if your family is not in a position to financially support the school right now. You can still be involved by simply SHARING about our fundraiser with friends and extended family online at funrun.com. Sharing IS supporting!
Just as we worked to safely begin school this year, we are also safely hosting this essential fundraiser based on our school’s current guidelines. We’ll send more details, as we get closer to our kick off.
