Padilla Elementary School
A Note from Principal Purfurst
As COVID cases surge again, please help us keep in-person learning happening at Padilla! If your child is sick, please keep them home so that we can prevent the spread of COVID at Padilla. The best way for us to keep staff and students in the building is to ensure that we do not have an outbreak among classes, and the best way to do that is for individuals who are sick to stay home. We greatly appreciate your help with this!
An Update from Dean Hawkins
Drills this week:
There are no scheduled drills this week. However the week before break we successfully completed a Shelter Hazmat drill as well as our monthly Evac-Fire drill. Both drills were completed successfully with our students and staff doing tremendous jobs!
English Language Learning Students:
As we return from Winter Break, our EL students will be taking the ACCESS test, Jan 11-Jan 26. We greatly appreciate your help to ensure your student’s attendance during this testing window. Additional communication in regards to the scheduling and assessment will be sent out this week.
Thank you!
Vape Found:
The week before the holiday break a Vape was found outside on the back playground. We share this info with you for the purpose of being transparent and to also make you aware as to how similar this particular Vape looked to an actual eraser that many of our students keep in their desks. After some investigation and many hours of watching video, we believe that the Vape was left on the playground last weekend not during school hours. As we work together to educate our students, we ask that when you feel it appropriate to please have the conversation with your student about the dangers of all smoke and smokeless products.
Thank you for your help with this important issue!
