A message from the principal
Hello!
Happy Thursday! We hope you've had a wonderful week and enjoyed this amazing weather. I know we have sure enjoyed being able to soak in learning coupled with sunshine. This week we have been learning everything from Reader's Theater to determining certain variables in Math! We've had a great week.
We have a few important things coming up next week with the first thing being Virtual Open House. Your child's teacher will email a link out to you Thursday, March 4th and it will have a message from your child's teacher, your child explaining their work, along with a messages from our Specials team! It's just like the face to face Open House except you can look at it in the comfort of your own home and maybe even share it with relatives. We hope you enjoy it as much as our students have working on their projects to show you!
PTA has rescheduled STEM Night for Tuesday, March 2nd at 6:15. Stay tuned for more information coming from our PTA regarding STEM Night.
One more reminder, the district Food and Nutrition Services program will be here tomorrow passing out food for everyone to take home over the weekend. If you have any questions regarding this program, please contact Monica Sartain at monica.sartain@pisd.edu. If you'd like your child to pass, please tell them they can say 'no thank you' as they leave on Friday. his program helps the food program and anyone who wants an extra snack or two.
I sure hope you have a wonderful weekend! Stay well!
