Knightly News for PRE Families
August 21, 2023
Welcome Back!
Our theme this year continues to be L.E.G.O (Loving Every Growth Opportunity) but since this is a sequel year we are B.O.S.S (Building On Student Success)! Last year our primary students showed excellent growth in their reading strength and we are excited to see that trend continue. Our third graders did an excellent job tackling the Third Grade Reading Guarantee and we are anxious to see last year's fourth graders take the reigns as leaders in the building!
There are multiple ways for you to stay connected to what's happening at PRE
- Weekly Newsletter from Ms. Weathers will be emailed on Sunday
- Our PRE Website has an up to date calendar
- You should receive regular newsletters from your child's classroom teacher
- The PTA Facebook Page (Families of Pleasant Run Elementary) (PTAPRE) keeps up with posts and is also a great place to find other parents to connect with
