PQ Tuesday Newsday
June 20, 2023
News From The Principal
Dear PQ Families,
We made it! What a fun year it has been, and I genuinely appreciate all of your support and effort throughout the school year! Many thanks to our teachers, staff members, and families who helped our students reach another educational milestone.
Congratulations to our 5th graders! We wish them success and happiness as they head to middle school! It has been amazing to watch them enter the building with a thirst for learning and a willingness to take on the day’s challenges. We are thrilled to see them grow, develop, and capitalize on their potential. Continue to grow, take risks, and be sure to follow your true north.
Student report cards & STAR testing results will be posted on the Parent Portal on Thursday afternoon. Please use Google Chrome as your browser to access the STAR testing results.
This is the last Tuesday Newsday for the year. Tuesday Newsday will begin again in early August.
Please see below for the complete list of final reminders. Be sure to enjoy your summer and spend time with family and friends. It is essential to recharge and relax so that we are prepared to take on next school year’s challenges.
Be well,
Roy Martin & Dawn Snowdon
Report Card Information
On June 22nd, you will be able to access your child's report card on the Parent Portal. When you go to the Parent Portal, you will also have access to your child's STAR assessment scores. STAR is a screening assessment in math and reading that we administer 3 times a year as part of our assessment program.
Report cards will be available late afternoon on June 22nd.
All Chromebooks are being collected for the summer.
Please make sure that your student has brought their Chromebook and charger to the classroom by now.
Students will receive a Chromebook at the start of the 2023-24 school year.
Dear Parents:
The end of the school year is quickly approaching! New York State regulations require all medication be picked up at school at the end of the school year. Unless your child has current permission to self-carry their medications, the school cannot allow your child to bring the medication home themselves.
Medications will need to be picked up on Thursday 6/22 up until 3 PM Friday June 23. 2023.
Medications not picked up will be disposed of at the end of the day Friday. If you need to make special arrangements to pick up medication, please call to make the arrangements now.
For the safety of all our students, these rules must be strictly enforced. Please come to the security office and ask them to let us know when you arrive.
Please see attached for more information on medication in school.
Thank you,
Danielle Zaetz R.N.
Mairead Doria, R.N.
