Pelham City School Parent Newsletter
🍎Back to School
This is also something that we can implement in our homes with our students. Children and teens need the structure of "Rituals and Routines" to help them be successful students and citizens. Some of the routines at home could be regular chores they do to help the family, getting homework started on their own, getting ready for bed etc... It's really great to help students get a good night sleep when we get back into school, even spending time unwinding and reading together before bed can be great routines to get into! These are routines that help reduce stress and spending time together helps keep the lines of communication open. We are all in need more effective communication habits in our families!
Parent Events Calendar🧩
We are excited this year to not only be providing in-person engagement opportunities for families but having the ability to provide the online platform for many of our events as well. The purpose for every event planned for the year is to provide support needed for helping your student be successful! I hope to see you at an event this year!
Compact Time
It is time to get your Pelham City School Parent/Student/School Title 1 Compacts signed and the signature page returned to your school. The compact is jointly developed with parents, staff and students and is directly linked to our learning goals for each grade level at all PCS schools. We want families to keep the actual compact as a reminder for parents. This year we are actually having a contest at all schools for collecting the signed compacts! The homeroom or class to be first to have every student turn in the completed compact will cupcakes!
