Dear Pawnee Families,
Dear Pawnee Families,
October brings many family events. Please mark your calendars for the many opportunities to have fun with your children and also for the important academic conferences.
We are seeking donated bags of candy for our Trunk-O-Treat event, Oct. 19th.
Our next parent night will be Parent-Teacher Conferences, Oct. 25 & 26. If you do not have a time to meet with your child's teacher, please call the school this week to get that set up.
Parent Teacher Conferences will also be when we distribute new ipads to all 1st to 5th graders. Bring in the old ipad and you will be given the new replacement ipad.
Also, on Oct. 31st, we will hold a costume parade at 3:15. Families may line our sidewalks to wave at our kids in costumes. Students will return to their classrooms for cookies and juice before dismissal.
There is no school for students on Nov. 1, 2023.
Respectfully,
Cheryl Prine
Pawnee Principal

Estimadas familias Pawnee,
Estimadas familias Pawnee,
Estamos buscando bolsas de dulces donadas para nuestro evento Trunk-O-Treat, el 19 de octubre.
Nuestra próxima noche de padres serán las conferencias de padres y maestros, el 25 y 26 de octubre. Si no tiene tiempo para reunirse con el maestro de su hijo, llame a la escuela esta semana para programarlo.
Las conferencias de padres y maestros también serán cuando distribuimos nuevos iPads a todos los estudiantes de 1º a 5º grado. Traiga el ipad viejo y se le entregará el nuevo ipad de reemplazo.
Además, el 31 de octubre realizaremos un desfile de disfraces a las 3:15. Las familias pueden alinearse en nuestras aceras para saludar a nuestros niños disfrazados. Los estudiantes regresarán a sus salones de clases para comprar galletas y jugo antes de la salida.
No habrá clases para los estudiantes el 1 de noviembre de 2023.
Respetuosamente,
Cheryl Prine
Directora de Pawnee

Superintendent Search Staff and Community Forums
Superintendent Search Staff and Community Forums
Our Superintendent Search moves forward this fall with more opportunities for you to participate. Input from the students, staff and families we serve is an essential part of this work.
Community Forums
Between Sept. 28 and Oct. 4, our district will host 12 community forums to gather input on our district’s strengths, opportunities, and the qualifications of an ideal future superintendent. The Board will host these in partnership with our superintendent search firm.
Ten forums will be held in person and two of them virtually. There is at least one forum in each Board of Education subdistrict, with options during the
day, evening and weekend. Multiple locations are accessible by public
transit. Bilingual liaisons will be available at each forum. Staff forums are intended for Omaha Public Schools employees. If a staff member cannot attend one of those forms, they are welcome to attend a community forum.
Second Survey Window
In late September, the second of two survey windows opens for our community.
Questions will be the same from the May 2023 survey, also asking about our school district’s strengths, opportunities and the qualifications of an ideal
future superintendent.
The survey will again be available in multiple languages. They include
English, Spanish, Somali, Nepalese and Burmese. Responses are anonymous.
Once the survey is live, we will email a link directly to all staff,
families and high school students. The link will also be posted on the
homepage of all school and district websites.
Your answers will guide our Board of Education’s work through the recruitment, application and selection process. That timeline is available on ops.org/superintendentsearch. If you have ideas, feedback, questions or concerns, you can always contact Board of Education members.
