Happy Fall yall! Cookie Dough fundraiser continues this week! Thank you for encouraging your child to sell in an effort to support our PTO! Our PTO is working hard on preparations for our upcoming Fall Fest! The school Fall Festival will be held on Friday, October 13 beginning at 6:00pm here at Pontiac. There will be food, games, and inflatables for families to enjoy! Mark your calendars to join us!
If you are available to assist at the Fall Fest, please email Lisa Rayner at lrayner@richland2.org
I am overwhelmed with excitement at the participation we had recently at Open House. Together, we really can do so much. Thank you to all of the families that joined us to meet with your child’s teacher. Parent Conferences are being scheduled now! Our district has designated the Early Dismissal day, October 19, as our conference date. Please contact your child’s teacher to schedule a conference to discuss the great strengths of your student leader.
As always, thank you for your continued support!

September is Attendance Awareness Month
Parents,
Good attendance helps kids succeed in school and bolster their self-esteem. Improving attendance requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond sanctions and includes incentives. September is our Attendance Awareness Month. We are challenging each student to be present every day because Attendance Matters. Please help us to encourage your child to be here everyday. We are encouraging and challenging our students to Be Proactive by attending school regularly and Put First Things First by coming to school to work hard and play later.
Thanks for all that you do. If you have any questions please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Janice Watson
