From the Reading Department
Lifelong readers LOVE to read books and actually don’t spend a lot of money to get them. Book worms borrow and share good reads from friends, get them from school book swaps or even hit the local library. They also reread old favorites. Did you know that kids gain deeper understanding of books when they reread them? This February, save your money for candy and flowers for Mom. Head on over to the Pottstown Library website to get your FREE library card. You’ll have access to thousands of amazing books for your growing lifelong readers.
Happy reading!

Remind
I will be using Remind as a way to send out alerts or reminders throughout the year. Remind allows for quick communications to be sent out via text message or email. You can sign up to receive my Remind alerts by texting the school code @agkad3 to the number 81010 or by using the link below. More information on how to register for the West Pottsgrove Elementary Remind notifications can be found on the attached flyer.
Kindergarten Registration
Do you have a child, or know a Pottsgrove child, who will be five by August 31st? You can register him/her for kindergarten by going to www.pgsd.org.
The Pottsgrove School District utilizes an online registration portal that allows the parent/guardian to complete the registration process. Before you begin the process you will be required to create an account. You will only need one account per family.
Registration Kiosks are available in all of our school buildings and District Office.
Steps to Complete the Registration Process (please review before starting). The registration portal will open on January 28, 2019. Click here to access the Registration Portal.

If you are unable to upload the documents you can bring them to the Building Registration.
