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,


Octubre trae muchos eventos familiares. Marque en sus calendarios las muchas oportunidades para divertirse con sus hijos y también las importantes conferencias académicas.
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

Pawnee School Improvement Plan 23-24

Big picture

Pawnee Attendance Goal: Decrease the number of absences from 10.7 to 7.7 per student per year.

Daily attendance is important for a student’s well-being, learning and long-term success. Arriving on time is one part of daily attendance. Late arrivals can negatively impact a student’s routine and increase stress well after the minutes missed.


  • Establish healthy routines
  • Prepare the night before
  • Have a backup plan
  • Encourage attendance
  • Communicate with school

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.
