Dear Parents,
I am delighted to be back to school after having my 2nd
daughter, Charley Drew. Charley Drew was
born on August 20, yes, just a few days after the 1st day of school
this year! I have enjoyed reading to
the students in their classrooms this week as I get to hug familiar faces and
meet new friends!
As we begin the second nine
weeks, we look forward to many anticipated events at Pontiac Elementary School. We celebrate American Education Week November
14-18. Consider visiting your child’s
classroom this week to see what your student’s day is like at PES! Enjoy a lunch in our cafeteria if you would
like as well! We look forward to your
visit during American Education Week!
We hope you will join us for
several events we have planned!
On the evening of November
14, our Technology Learning Coach will host a technology night. Learn more about how to set up a Parent
Portal account as well as Internet Safety for your young child. This event will be held at 6pm in the school
computer lab.
On Tuesday morning from
7:30am-8am, we will host Pastries for Parents in our school courtyard. Please come to school with your child and
enjoy breakfast together. We appreciate
you, parents! Thank you for supporting
Pontiac Elementary!
On Thursday, November 17 we
invite all of you to our School Improvement Council meeting that begins at
7:45am. Each month, a group of parents
comes together to discuss school improvements to ensure we continue to improve
here at PES so it is a great place for our students to learn.
We hope you will join us for
Math Night on Thursday evening beginning at 6pm. Our math committee has worked hard planning
various math stations for you and your child!
Thanksgiving holidays begin
on November 23 and we wish all of our students and their families a wonderful,
restful Thanksgiving. Students return to
school on Monday, November 28.
Parents, we encourage you to
be involved at Pontiac!
