Peek At The Week!
Week of 11/4/19
Principal's Message...
I hope everyone enjoyed a surprising, nice long weekend! Another one is around the corner next week, as we take a day to celebrate our Veterans on Monday, November 11th.
Our first evacuation drill for the 2019-20 SY is in the books! It begin as a fire drill and then evolved into an evacuation drill, so our October obligations to practice safety drills were met. I was very impressed with the execution of both drills and students were well prepared and behaved. Our safety team will meet this week to debrief our drills in detail, and an email will go out summarizing important findings, before the end of the week.
Last week, I was able to attend many lunches. I will continue to do so, as my schedule allows, but would now like to spend some time observing recess. Our PBIS team will be planning for upcoming assemblies and we will review expectations of these areas with all students, soon. Please reach out if you have any input to share about how to make these times of the day more enjoyable for all.
I have been able to visit more classrooms and really enjoy watching your lessons. Your students are inspired, engaged and most importantly, they are learning! Thank you for opening your doors and welcoming me into your rooms. I will continue to stop by to see the magic that you do everyday at PDES. If you have a lesson that you would like me to see, reach out and I will put it in my calendar!
Wishing everyone a great week!
