STUDENTS IN THE SPOTLIGHT
TALENT SHOW WINNER
NATIONAL ART FINALIST
TALENT SHOW WINNER
From the Reading Department
The 3rd-trimester goal for 100 book club has been changed from May 19th to May 12th. This change was necessary to get the t-shirts ordered and delivered before our award assemblies. On May 17th, students who have met each Trimester goal will receive paperwork asking for their choice of a T-shirt or a five dollar gift card to a local bookstore. The gift card will be the default option if we do not receive a selection. Thank you for your continued commitment to helping your child reach their reading goals!
Classroom Placement for 2017-2018
We consider classroom placement to be one of our most important tasks and we would like to share the process with you. Student placement is determined and reviewed by a team of professional educators. Each child’s academic, social and emotional growth, peer relations and needs are considered and discussed. We strive to create classes that are heterogeneous, function as cohesive groups, and provide each child with a teacher with the most suitable teaching style that will meet his or her needs. We feel our time is well spent because we also have a personal investment in each child. While we do welcome input regarding your child’s learning style, the elementary division of the Pottsgrove School District does not accept specific teacher requests. If you have any information you wish to share regarding your child that will be helpful in class placement, please send Mrs. Williams an email or note.
PLEASE FORWARD ANY HELPFUL INFORMATION THAT WILL ASSIST IN CLASSROOM PLACEMENT FOR YOUR CHILD TO Mrs. Williams via email or letter by May 26, 2017.PSSA Testing
