If you haven't had a chance yet, please take a moment to fill out our schoolwide survey. I've decided to extend the survey until Friday, March 24th.

Every few years, we survey the entire Potter Road community to better understand peoples impressions of the building, leadership, and the climate of the school This helps us to figure out how best to move forward. This is particularly important with new leadership coming to Potter Road. We've included the survey in this edition of the Panther Pride Times and ask that you please fill it out by Friday, March 24th. We appreciate your help with this. If you need a paper copy, we'll work to make those available in the main office.

Check out this week's edition:

• Community Survey
• Bus Safety for all students
• Remember your sneakers
• 5th grade families visist to Cameron
• March Lunch Menu
• Puberty meeting-5th grade parents ONLY

As always, reach out with anything.

Thanks

Larry

For those of you who arrive out back, please be respectful to Potter's neighbors on Griffin and Turner. Please be sure that you do not speed down either road and that you travel in the appropriate direction on the roads.

Also, for those of you park on Mary Agnes--in front of Potter--please be respectful of our neighbors there. Specifically, we've received several phone calls from neighbors who are unable to have their trash picked up by the city on TUESDAYS. If you see trash barrels outside of a home on TUESDAYS, please do not park near them as the mechanical arm of the trash truck can't grab the trash barrels because it can't access them.

I appreciate your help with both of these requests.

As we approach the springtime we want you all to know that in response to recent unsafe and inappropriate bus behavior here is a reminder of the rules:

• Students should remain seated in their seats at all times (no switching seats or standing)
• In some cases, if necessary, students will have assigned seats and they must stay in those seats
• Students should only use school-appropriate language. No swearing or coarse language.
• Students should keep their hands and feet to themselves and inside the bus at all times.

These are the rules and there are the consequences for breaking them. Please tell your children they need to follow the rules or they will have to take a break from the bus until then can follow them.

Please make sure your child has sneakers for physical education/gym class. It's important that all students are able to participate in gym class. If you don't know when your child has PE class, check with him/her, mark down the date on your calendar, and be sure they have sneakers on this day.
