Kindergarten Registration April 1-12
Kindergarten registration for the 2019-2020 school year will open on April 1. If you have a child, or know of a child, who will be 5 on or before August 31 please register now! This year kindergarten registration is online (Spanish Registration Link/English Registration Link). You will be able to register at home or we will have computers available in the main office. Families will still need to bring in a copy of their child's birth certificate, immunization records, and proof of residency to the main office.
Chatham PASS
Chatham County Public Libraries are excited to introduce our partnership with Chatham County Schools called Chatham PASS (Public Library Access for Student Success). This program is open for all students in Chatham County Schools. Currently, the program is only available at J.S. Waters, Pittsboro Elementary, and Virginia Cross Elementary but will expand throughout the calendar year to include all students.
The Chatham PASS program uses students’ PowerSchool ID number to access the public library’s digital and physical materials through any Chatham County Public Library location. This program expands access to library resources for increased student success. Your child’s Chatham PASS can help them complete schoolwork and improve reading skills.
If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Jeremiah, PES Media Specialist

Upcoming volunteer opportunities:
We are forming committees to manage Staff Appreciation Week, Spring Raffle and our Spring Carnival. We are in need of Volunteers to help with these events, especially the Carnival where our new Chair will need lots of help. I you are interested an any of these committees, please contact Amanda Klier at ptopta@gmail.com.
Finally, we have several board members stepping down at the end of this school year, so we need volunteers willing to help run the PTA next year. If this is something you are interested in, please contact our Nominating Committee Chair Lindsay Sturtz at sturtzfamily@mac.com.
