Teacher Characteristic Checklist for School Year 2024-25!
Parents, in order to meet the needs of your students as much as we can when scheduling them for the next school year, we put out an annual Teacher Character Checklist to get your input. Our staff makes every effort to ensure that each student is placed with a teacher who can provide the best learning environment for them. Please feel free to fill out this checklist and return it to the front office by Friday, April 26, 2024. Each child in the family should have their own character checklist. Please do not list specific teacher names as we cannot guarantee placement in a specific classroom. Thank you!
Kindergarten Round Up!
Parents, if you have an incoming Kindergarten student, please mark your calendar for our annual PME Kindergarten Round Up informational session and school campus tour on
Friday, April 19 from 9-10am. Please be sure to bring a photo ID for check in at the front office. No appointment necessary. We will start in the Media Center to learn about our Kindergarten program and then split into groups for a campus tour. If you have any questions, please call 377-7900.
See you soon!
