Prestwood Connection
May 30, 2023
The school days seem to be going by faster and faster! As we head into the last 8 days of school, I am filled with so many wonderful memories from this school year. Next week, we will have our final school assembly of the school year and our school-wide field day. Parents are invited to volunteer for field day. Please sign up using the link below.
3rd - 5th Grade Chromebooks - At the end of the school year, our IT Department will be collecting all student devices to make necessary repairs prior to the 2023/2024 school year. Starting on June 1st, all student devices will be staying on campus. Please also send your student's Chromebook charger to school. When students return in August, devices will be handed back out to students. Thank you!
Please remember there is no school on Monday, May 29th.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend,
Laura Thomas
Principal

Parent Survey: Safe Routes to School
Whether you walk, bike, or drive to school, improving Safe Routes to School makes our streets safer for all road users! This important survey will inform future Safe Routes to School programming and projects (including potential infrastructure improvements such as bike lanes, crosswalks, etc) to facilitate safer transportation. This year, local public works/planning departments in every jurisdiction are working on their Active Transportation Plan updates. An infrastructure project typically needs to be in a Transportation Plan in order for it to be funded. Parent (and school staff) voices are critical for identifying potential projects and priority routes in the vicinity of schools.
