Peabody Elementary Weekly Informer
Tuesday, June 1, 2021
Greetings Peabody Parents:
Thanking everyone for a warm welcome back!
Well, we only have 2 weeks remaining in school. The students' last day of school is Wednesday, June 16th.
Registration for next school year continues. Do you need help with registration? Peabody is hosting a night registration Thursday, June 3rd and Tuesday, June 15th from 3:30 P.M.-5:30 P.M. Also, please feel free to call the school @ 416-4606 for assistance.
If you have a loaner device, please call the school to schedule an appointment to return and checkout your child’s assigned device.
Please return any library books or Social Studies textbooks (grades 4 - 5) by Wednesday, June 2nd to prevent report cards being held due to unreturned books. If your child owes for a book, parents will receive a debt letter by Monday, June 7th. When paying for lost books, please bring the exact amount to the school. The school will not be able to provide change or accept checks.
Thank you parents for ensuring your child is at school each day. Students are taking their last IReady test of the year. It is very important that students are present for the next two weeks to complete testing.
Join us to celebrate our Kindergarten and Fifth Grade Students’ Promotional Virtual Ceremonies:
Kindergarten Grade: Monday, May 14th @ 9:00 A.M.
Fifth Grade: Tuesday, June 15th @ 9:00 A.M. (5th Grade will come back @ 5:00 P.M. for a Drive-Through Celebration. Cars will line up on Young and Tanglewood and drive through the school’s parking lot. Cars can start lining up by 4:45 P.M. We plan to start promptly at 5:00 P.M.)
As always, thank you for your continued support.
Mrs. Nelson

You can receive help by emailing PeabodyESdevicehelp@scsk12.org or calling the school at 416-4606. We will connect you with our school’s Microsoft Ambassador to help with reporting a device as lost, stolen or damaged, as well as any issues with Microsoft TEAMs or help with resetting a password.
The technology team will schedule you an appointment during the following times:

In order to receive a loaner device, the legal parent or guardian must be present. When you visit the school for your scheduled appointment time bring the following:
State issued ID
Device to be repaired
Charger for the device
A loaner device will be issued during your visit. School based repairs can take up to 3 days. If the school is unable to repair the device, a district IT representative will be notified to assist with the repair. Once the repair is completed, you will be called to pick up the device.
Also, please remember, you can find answers to most general questions on the SCS website, at scsk12.org/accessforall.
As always, we appreciate your partnership, and please know we are here to support you at Peabody.

AR Points! How high can you go?
GOAL: 12,000 points
Every year, the Peabody PTA holds the Cookie Dough Fundraiser! It's always a smashing success and our families typically clear $6,000 that goes directly to technology and the arts at Peabody. This year, though, the PTA has voted not to hold the sale due to COVID. We just can't figure out a safe way to do it.
The PTA has been supporting teachers and staff during this time of virtual learning -- buying stylus pens for K-2 to use with their tablets, microphones for teachers, we outfitted a new teacher/staff lounge for those working inside the school and teacher appreciation gifts!
We ask that if you can, donate to the Peabody PTA. You can just go to FriendsofPeabody.org and donate online! Any amount will be greatly appreciated and help us support our school... even when we can't be there!
