Park Layne Elementary Monthly News

Welcome to Our Digital Newsletter
Reaching for our Reading Goals
Did you know that your child will have access to all of the computer programs they use at school all summer long including Raz-Kids (leveled books your child can read), Lexia Core5 (reading skills) and MobyMax (all subject areas). We will be sending home a reminder of how to access these programs at home in a few weeks. Please set up a routine to make sure your child takes advantage of this opportunity all summer long.
End of Year Reminders
- Make sure you have paid school fees, fines and returned spring pictures or paid for them. Report cards will be held if these things are not taken care of and these fees and fines stay with your child every year and must be paid in order to graduate.
- Return or pay for Spring Pictures
- Dress your child to run and play. Please no flip flops or high heels. Tennis shoes are best.
- Our Lost and Found is overflowing. If your child has lost a jacket or lunchbox, please have them check Lost and Found or stop by your self to check it out.
- Transportation Changes for 18/19 School Year - Please be sure to notify us of any changes in your child's transportation for next year. If we don't hear from you, we will set it up for next year as it was for this year.
PTO Spring Festival a Great Success
Thanks to everyone who helped make our PTO Spring Festival such a huge success. Thanks to our PTO officers for their hard work in organizing the event. Thanks to everyone who worked a shift, donated pop, cake, etc. Thanks to everyone who came to the event, purchased presale items, participated in the silent auction, etc. We would love to get you involved in our PTO if you aren't currently. Sign up for Remind alerts for PTO by following this link. Check out the PTO Facebook page for updates as well. Our last PTO meeting of the year will be held on May 7 at 7pm at TJ Chumps in Huber Heights. Join us as we wrap up our year and make decision for next year.

We Need Your Help
- Extra Clothes for Kids Who Have Accidents at School. Sweatpants are best but any long pants - boys and girls - Sizes 4 - 10
- Items for Dressing Kids for the 100th Day of School - We keep extra costumes for our Fall Parade so thought we could do the same for the 100th Day for kids who forget. If you have any of the following you could donate, that would be great; old eye glasses we can pop the lenses out of, costume jewelry like pearls, sweaters for girls, suspenders or ties for boys, etc.
