Padilla Elementary School
A Note from Principal Purfurst
Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope your child enjoyed the time they had with you over the course of this week. The staff at Padilla are excited to welcome your child back to school tomorrow!
An Update from Dean Hawkins
Drills at Padilla:
We had a successful evacuation drill the week before spring break. The all clear was announced at 2 minutes and 17 seconds and all students and staff were accounted for at 7 minutes. Staff continues to do a wonderful job ensuring that all students are prepared for this drill. Our next Lock Down Drill will be next Tuesday April 5th at 9:30 in the morning.
Bus Lane Crosswalk:
As we do our best to keep students safe upon their arrival and departure to and from school, we need your help with student pick up after school around the bus lanes. Please refrain from walking through the buses in order to pick up your student. We have a staffed crosswalk that we need families to use in order to ensure everyone’s safety. With buses arriving and departing at different times, it is important that we use the crosswalk as this is the safest option for everyone even if this may not be the most convenient option for your family when picking up your student.
Thank you for your help with this process!
Arctic Award Assembly:
Tuesday (tomorrow) we will hold our first school wide assembly. There will be three different assemblies in order to include all of our Polar Bears. We will be honoring our Arctic Award Winners for showing our CHILL keys for the third quarter. We will also be honoring the winners from the second quarter as we were unable to properly honor these Polar Bears. We sent out assembly invitations to families if their student will be honored. Feel free to join us during your student’s assembly time as we welcome families back into our building! We will also be using this assembly as a CHILL refresh for all students, a Candy Fundraising Intro as well as a CMAS Testing Kick Off. The assembly should last around 45 minutes. A list of students that will be honored and assembly times are listed below. We will also be streaming this assembly for families that cannot be in attendance.
