Kindergarten Prep
To ensure safety during this event we can only have one adult attend with each upcoming kindergarten child. No siblings at this time. Adults and children are required to wear a mask and use hand sanitizer while at school. Thank you for understanding.
Come and join Mrs. Frazier and Mrs. Owensby for some fun, hands-on learning activities to help your child get ready for Kindergarten. Our next K-Prep night is February 23rd from 6-7 PM in Room 247. Come in the north Pershing Elementary doors.
With the challenges of Covid 19 we will offer a Virtual option. If you choose virtual you will need to email a link request to either blfrazier@spsmail.org or Keowensby@spsmail.org and we will send you a zoom link for the event. We will do our best to share the Kindergarten Prep event with you virtually in real time with the seated option. In person is really best for this age child and we have taken extra precautions to keep you and your child safe. We understand that some families may choose the virtual option and we will do our best to keep your child engaged and excited about Kindergarten over the link.
Pershing Nurse News
Please continue to keep your child home if they have any symptoms of illness. If you are not sure in a particular situation, please keep your child home on that day and call the school nurse for guidance on whether you can bring your child to school or not. Call the nurses with any questions: 523-2430
Library News!
In Pershing’s library, we strive to represent the diversity of our student body. We are determined to ensure that all students have access to high-quality books that can serve as mirrors to our diverse population and that can serve as windows into people’s lives that may not be just like ours. Since February is Black History Month, we hope that you will help us encourage our students to select books from our displays celebrating Black lives.
Library classes for February:
K-2 – Students will learn about finding books at their “addresses”.
3-5 – Students will be working on Book Trailer projects.
