Panda Family News
We Learn. We Collaborate. We Celebrate.
Our #PAWSome teachers continue working hard to find creative ways to connect with our #PandaFamily during this time. We are meeting virtually as a staff to brainstorm and share best practices with one another. Our goal is to not overwhelm you, but to be helpful and to stay engaged as best as we can. We know schedules at home have changed significantly and look very different for all of our Pandas. If you have any feedback or ideas on how to best stay connected and support you all, please feel free to share with myself, Mr. Chutz, or your child's teacher!
If you have not connected with your child's teacher, please let me know.

A Message from Mr. Dobbin
Hello Panda Families,
This is your school counselor Mr. Dobbin! I hope you all are doing well!
I wanted to reach out and let you all know that if at any time during the weeks we are out, you think your child could benefit from chatting with someone from our Student Services team (Mr. Dobbin - School Counselor & Mrs. Rowe - School Social Worker), please don’t hesitate to let me or Mrs. Rowe know. We are happy to chat with students about any anxieties they may be feeling, grief they may have experienced recently, or any other issue that is affecting their social/emotional health.
If you would like to set up a time for Mrs. Rowe or I to chat with your student you can either fill out this google form: Student Services Team Referral Form, or email me directly at odobbin@chatham.k12.nc.us or Mrs. Rowe at arowe@chatham.k12.nc.us.
I feel lucky to serve such a resilient and compassionate community! If there is any way we can support you or your student during these times, please let us know!
Mr. Dobbin
Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library
Chatham County Schools - Grab'N Go'Meals
Although Chatham County Schools is closed, we are committed to feeding the community. Both breakfast and lunch may be picked up from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m at Pittsboro Elementary School. The meals are free for those 18 years old and younger. Adults may purchase a breakfast meal for $2 and a lunch meal for $4. The menu for this week is posted below. On Fridays, you can also pick up weekend meals.
Next week is Spring Break, so At Home Learning collaboration with teachers will not occur, but meals will still be available.
The menu for the next two weeks is posted below.
Panda Packs
This week's Panda Packs will be available for pickup on Wednesday 11:00-2:00 from the school cafeteria.
Our Panda Packs team is prepared to provide shelf-stable food for ANY PES family in need. Even if you are not a regular Panda Packs recipient, please do not hesitate to reach out and let us know if you need a pack for the week. Our Panda Packs include kid-friendly items, such as oatmeal, mac and cheese, granola bars and crackers. If you or somebody you know needs a bag, please let your child's teacher, Miss Fisher, or Mr. Dobbin know.
Alternatively, if you would like to help DONATE to Panda Packs, please follow our Panda Packs Facebook page @PandaPacks for food collection sites and links to donate.
