Double Lane Dismissal
Please note, there are no changes to walkers for dismissal, families can continue picking students up from the cafeteria.
Thank you so much for your responses to the Parent Arrival/Dismissal survey. We were pleased to see feedback from a large variety of stakeholders. We are still reviewing your feedback for arrivals, but feel everyone can benefit from implementing our DoubleLane Carpool Dismissal procedure. The new Double Lane Dismissal Procedure will begin on Monday Oct 29th.
Here is a slideshow to help explain our new double lane dismissal procedures, the video is below. Share this with any family members or care takers that pick your child up on a daily basis.
Please note carpool tags are a vital part of this procedure. If you do not have a tag or need additional tags, please contact the front office, we can give you a number over the phone. Thank you for your support cooperation during this transition.
Amazon Smile
Help our PTA earn funds!! For Amazon’s program, you must use smile.amazon.com as your starting point and select PTA North Carolina Congress Pittsboro Elementary School PTA as the charity you support.
READvolution
Keep logging those minutes Pandas!! PES will be participating in READvolution through November 16th. Please ask your child's teacher or Mrs. Jeremiah in the library if you have any questions.
Check our school district's progress here!
Students who document the time spent reading or being read to (try for 20 minutes daily) outside of school will earn two complimentary Carolina Hurricanes tickets when they read 800 minutes. Spend two minutes watching here to see exactly how to log in online to document your time reading.
Pumpkin Book Character Contest
Excited to announce our winners on October 31st.
Science Fair
The science Fair is just a few weeks away so we'd like to share some updates and reminders about the projects:
* Projects are due on Wednesday, November 7 and winners will be announced on Science Night, which is on November 15, from 5:30-7:00. Winners of the science fair will be announced and all participants will be recognized at 6:30 p.m. in the multi-purpose room.
* Please do not include any identifying information (names, pictures, etc.) on the display board. If possible, bring the projects in the morning, before 8:15.
* We have noticed in the past that projects that go on to the county level fair tend to include information about "variables" and "controls". It would be great if students could include a sentence or two about this.
* Let us know by Friday if your child needs a display board for his/her project. We have several left over from last year and can order more if needed!
* Still need an idea for a project? Science Buddies is a great website to help students find project ideas. Students answer a series of questions and the site generates project ideas based on their responses.

Please let Ms. Ewald or Ms. Jacob know if you have any questions about the Science Fair - we look forward to seeing your students' projects!
