Pleasant Hill Weekly Update
October 8, 2020
Message from Mrs. Steele
Dear PH Families,
At the beginning of our school year, we knew we needed to work in some extra time for our dismissal process because there are so many families transporting their own student (around 70% of PH families drop-off/pick up each day as compared to around 25% in prior years). At this time, we have an incredibly fast and smooth drop-off/pick-up line and would like to fit some additional instructional time into our day. Effective October 13th, ALL K-2 schools will be changing our car rider/walker dismissal window to 3:00PM-3:30PM. Our bus riders will continue to be dismissed at 3:15PM which is our published school end time. We do need the extra time for our car riders so that families who need to get to Wentworth can do so within that pick-up window as well. Thank you for understanding!
Parent-teacher conferences will be held from October 26-November 6. All conferences will be held virtually and teachers will offer appointments until 6PM on EITHER October 27th OR October 29th. Teachers will communicate with families about the process for signing up for conferences. Conference times are 20 minutes each and at this time, teachers are unable to offer more than one conference per student. Please email our specialists and special services staff for their availability within the conference window.
