Pershing News
October
Dear Parents,
It's hard to believe we are almost finished with first quarter. The quarter has flown by! We have had a wonderful start! I know this year is much different than any of us could’ve ever imagined. Rest assured we are doing everything within our power to ensure that our staff and your child’s experience is a safe and happy one. I would like to thank you for your willingness and cooperation to adjust to the new normal. Our Pershing families have been SO VERY supportive!
Things are getting into a routine and it is amazing to see all the learning that is taking place. While we have had to make some adaptations to what things look like, our Pershing staff is still striving to make learning fun and engaging for our students.
Communication is vital every year, but even more so this year. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. You may reach me by phone at (816) 671-4320 or by email at hollybrady@sjsd.k12.mo.us.
Educationally Yours,
Holly Brady
Principal
NO SCHOOL OCTOBER 30TH
Prior to conferences, your child will come home with his/her progress report and 1st quarter data sheet. This will be used to discuss progress during conferences. Please remember all conferences are going to be by phone or via Zoom. If you have not yet signed-up, please contact your child's teacher.
Conference nights are October 27th & 28th
Grade Cards will be going home on Monday, October 26th.
Reminders
- Students should not be dropped off prior to 8:40.
- School officially starts at 9:05.
- Please be sure to pull up towards the bus lane (by staff members directing traffic). This will allow us to drop off several students at once.
- We ask that you do not go around the cars in front of you. We want to ensure student safety!
Dismissal:
- Kindergarten & 1st Grade car riders will dismiss at 4:05. If you have older siblings please wait until 4:10 to avoid traffic flow backing up.
- All other car riders and walkers will be dismissed at 4:10.
- Buses are dismissed as they arrive.
Devices Charged
It is important to ensure your child's device is charged each evening. Mondays (after the weekend) and Thursdays (after our remote day), this is especially important!
