From the Office:
- We will continue to follow the school calendar. There is no school on April 10 and April 13. There will NO food distribution on those days.
- Our first week of satellite learning went well! There were lots of connections made between staff and families; seeing each other's faces is always a day brightener!
- We continue with our goal of placing students in a classroom that best meets their needs. Please request a 2020-2021 Classroom Placement Form via Katie in our front office and one will be emailed to you. The form is due in the office no later than Friday, April 24. Please note that while we will do our best to accommodate parent requests, specific teacher request cannot always be honored. Please see Mrs. Holmberg with questions or concerns. Thank you!
- Please see the link below to register for our PawPacks Program, designed to provide quick, easy, nutritious meals intended to help students who could use additional food, or who may not have an adult at home to help prepare food over the weekend. Packs are sent home with students at the end of each week with our Satellite Meal Program. There is NO cost and there are NO income qualifications to participate. You can register at any time; an email to Mary Holmberg will get the process started!

Catholic Charities' Foster Grandparent Program
Paynesville Area Elementary School graciously welcomes Foster Grandparents! The Foster Grandparent Program offers seniors, 55+, the opportunity to work with students in local schools, or other non-profit agencies with children who need extra assistance. Typically school “Grandma’s” and “Grandpa’s” work one-on-one with kids who need some extra support both academically and emotionally.Foster Grandparents have the ability to use their time, skills and experience to help children learn. Volunteers put in a minimum of 260 hours a year and receive a tax free stipend, mileage reimbursement, and educational opportunities.
This is a great opportunity if you have time to spare, love to be with children, and could use some extra non-taxable income. For more information, please contact Sara at 320-229-4589 or www.ccstcloud.org
