Materials Distribution May 13-15
Dear Park Village Families,
This coming Wednesday through Friday (May 13th-15th), we will be distributing consumable instructional materials, desk contents, and returning other items students have left at school.
We are planning to do this in a similar fashion to the way we distributed Chromebooks. The process will be “drive-thru” style with everyone remaining in their cars. Our hope is to make this a smooth and efficient process where we can move cars through quickly. In order to achieve this, we are asking you to come on your assigned day and time (see schedule below). In addition, we will also be collecting library books and returning medications from the health office for those that have them here.
MATERIALS DISTRIBUTION SCHEDULE
Wednesday 5/13
10:00 AM-12:00 PM 5th grade
1:00 PM-3:00 PM 2nd grade+ 2/3 multiage class (Scott)
Thursday (5/14)

1:00 PM-3:00 PM TK/ Kindergarten
*Important: We will only have items available for the specified grade during scheduled days/ times for pick up. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause for parents with more than one child in our school. Please contact your teacher if this creates a significant hardship.
Take care and we will see you next week.
Thank You!

Return Your School Library Books This Week
By Mrs. Fleming, Librarian
School library books will be collected during the Materials Distribution events (Wednesday-Friday, May 13-15). See the schedule for the specific day and time for your grade level.
I will email the list of books on each student’s account on Monday so you’ll know what to return. Teachers will also search their classrooms for library books and return them. All books will be quarantined before I check them in. If you cannot locate a book, don’t worry. Keep looking and put it in a safe place when found. If you have questions, please email me at sfleming@powayusd.com. Thank you!

A Note from Your School Counselor
These are unusual circumstances that we are in and as a result, children might feel confused, anxious, upset and frustrated at how much life has seemed to change overnight. Children definitely pick up cues from us so if we can manage our anxious feelings it will go a long way in helping children learn how to manage their feelings as well. With that in mind, below are some resources and information from our school counselors Mrs. Cardinale and Mrs. Engblom. Please feel free to email our counselors if you have specific concerns about your child (jcardinale@powayusd.com or mengblom@powayusd.com).
