As we head into our fourth week of Learn @ Home activities, we are super proud of our students and teachers as they continue to show perseverance and grow in confidence through this new experience. Learn @ Home Lessons and choice boards for this week and previous weeks can be found by selecting this link: bit.ly/msdwarrenlearnathome.
The MSD of Warren Township is evaluating our technology needs and how to better serve our families and students of the district. Since iPads and Chromebooks require a WiFi connection, we are interested to know whether our students have access to WiFi at home. Please visit the following link for additional information: bit.ly/MSDWTECHSURVEY.
A reminder that teachers in all grade levels are available Monday thru Friday from 9-4. If you have questions regarding Learn at Home or eLearning, please contact your child's teacher or use the hotline number 317-608-0545 or email MSDWarrenELearning@warren.k12.in.us. We love to see you and learn together!
In response to a change in participation numbers, we will be making a couple of adjustments to our food outreach program starting the week of May 4th. We will continue on Tuesdays and Fridays from 11-1 at 11 locations. Renaissance School, located at 30th and Post Road will be a new site and will replace Hawthorne Elementary. Wednesdays will continue to be 5:30 - 7 at 2 locations. Lakeside Elementary and now our Moorhead location at 8400 East Tenth Street will be a new site. Because there is a need for a refrigerated space, we could no longer use Post Road Christian Church. I want to thank Post Road Christian Church for their partnership with our food outreach program. If you have needs beyond what is being offered, please call or email our hotline at 317-869-4308 or MSDWarrenOutreach@warren.k12.in.us.
Registration for Kindergarten and Preschool in Warren Township begins on Monday, May 4th. There will be a live webinar May 4th at 7pm. Principals and teachers will present information about Kindergarten and Preschool programs in Warren, demonstrate information about how to register online, and conduct a live question & answer session with audience members. Children must be age 5 on or before September 1 to register for Kindergarten and age 3 on or before September 1 to register for Preschool.
There is no doubt this last month has been an unforgettable experience for everyone in the Panther family. Teachers have learned, and mastered, new ways to teacher their students. Parents have experienced the life of a elementary school teacher up close and personal, and students have experienced a new way to learn with their teachers and friends.
There isn't a day that goes by that we don't find a new obstacle in this new environment, but what is impressive is every new obstacle is met with a new solution. As principal, I have never been more proud of our students, teachers, and families. Keep up the amazing effort! The amount of student participation is outstanding. Seeing the grit and dedication of our teachers and students is inspiring. Remember, the work we do now prepares us for the start of next school year. Continue to be safe, be responsible, be respectful, and I can't wait to see you again very soon!
As always, I appreciate your support of Pleasant Run Elementary.
Have a great week and stay safe!
Mr. Koomler
