Upcoming Events & Information for Pleasantdale Families
A Note from the Principal's Office
November 11, 2018
Dear PES Families,
Tomorrow we are honored to recognize those family members and friends who have bravely served in the US Military to protect the freedoms we enjoy. Their sacrifices are numerous as they demonstrated a commitment to ensuring future generations are afforded the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We thank each member of the Armed Forces for their service and strive to help our students appreciate the freedoms that we enjoy in the US.
- Veterans Day Assembly is scheduled for Monday, November 12th. We are excited to welcome Veterans to PES for this assembly. Due to space constraints, the assembly is limited to students, staff, and our Veterans. This year we have partnered with True Patriots Care, a non-profit group, to display US Flags along the front of PES. This impressive display will help start our celebration off with great pride and respect for our Veterans.
- Did you know? Which famous author was a fighter pilot in the British Royale Air Force Who received 12 Golden Glove awards and World Series MVP? Who was the wife of a President and the champion of women’s rights? Our 4th graders spent the month of October reading biographies about famous people and learning amazing facts about their lives. They not only completed a project on a person of their choice but also had the option of creating a pumpkin to resemble their famous person. The pumpkins created were fantastic! We applaud all of the students who took the time and effort to create such masterpieces. What a way to end the month!
- School Spirit Week begins tomorrow. We invite all students to join us for each of the themed days. Thank you to the Student Council for organizing this week for our school.
- Conference Sign-up began on November 1st. Information was emailed to all parents with login information. If you need assistance, please contact our front office. If you are unavailable during the scheduled conference days (November 19-20), please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher to set up an alternative time. Additionally, we invite parents of 4th graders who work with Mrs. Berwick or Mrs. Williamson, to contact the front office to schedule conference times. Due to a technical issue, online sign-up is not available for these two teachers.
- Halloween Candy Collection was a great success! Thank you to everyone who donated some of their candy to our Treats for Troops drive.
- Thank you to those parents who joined Dr. Ban and me for our PES Parent Coffee. We had great discussions on assessments and conferences. For those of you who were unable to make the Coffee, I have attached the slideshow to this email.
- Library 2.0 is a group of staff, students, and parents who are helping to guide our work as the District looks into options and opportunities to recreate the library spaces at each building. Stay tuned for more information about this group. If you would like to share your ideas for our library space, please contact me or Dr. Palzet.
For our students,
Ms. Tomei
