The 2019-20 PTA Board has been elected. Congrats to the following:
President - Mr. Juan Harris
Vice President - Mr. Lamont Leath
Secretary - Mrs. Tina Spears
Treasurer - Mrs. Kimberly Curney
Collaborative planning this week: Please be prepared to discuss the plans for the week of May 6 - 10.
Field Day Shirts - They have been ordered. We will provide you with a list of the students in your class who ordered shirts. We did order 10 extra per grade level in the event that a parent wants to purchase one right before field day.
Recess - Please make sure that you are taking your students outside for recess everyday. The only reasons they shouldn't be outside is because of rainy or extremely cold weather.
Date Correction: The ALL Pro Dads are planning a big event for our community on Friday, May 17, 6:00 - 9. Partee will host the first Screen on the Green. They will have great food, games, and a movie. Lots of fun for the entire family! They need volunteers to help make this event successful for our school and community. Please let me know if you are able to volunteer. Also, please begin communicating this information to the parents.
Have a great week of teaching and learning!
Generals Salute!

Also, remember that if a 3rd Party - grandparent, aunt, etc. - wants you to talk about a student's progress or attend a meeting, the parent must complete the appropriate documentation giving us permission to share information with this person. This form must be completed each year.
