A Message from your Principal, Kevin Croft
Happy Sunday Phelan Parents-
I wanted to THANK the Friends of Phelan (Phelan PTO) for designing, organizing, and managing the first ever, Return to the Empire Event. Phelan families were able to join us Saturday and get face painting, dancing, basketball, train rides, food, and more! It was a tremendous event! It was a day of Phelan Fun with Great People!
A special thank you to our sponsors, and the Phelan PTO, who will be highlighted over the next several weeks.
We have 1 week LEFT!
Students begin school on August 14, 2023. Please note that we CANNOT issue your student a teacher until all forms are complete including all BOY forms, Medical/ Medicine information forms, and Smart Tags. All necessary links are the Blue Buttons below labeled, "Quick Links." Please complete yours ASAP!
This week is Phelan's Meet the Teacher from 5-8pm. This is an exciting time for everyone involved! The breakdown is as follows:
5:00-5:30 pm: Pre-K Meet the Teacher
5:30-7:00 pm: K-5 Meet the Teacher
7:00-7:30 pm: Principal Presentation
- The principal presentation is designed to give parents the 23-24 changes such as Title campus events, CEP, start times, busses, curriculum expectations, etc.
- If you are unable to attend, I will send the presentation on Wednesday.
- Please plan to stop by the Meet-n-Greet in the LGI and get to know our Phelan community.
- Please bring your business card for our Phelan Community Phonebook. Let's help build the Phelan community with OUR business leaders.
Overall, I can already feel the energy and this WILL be an AMAZING YEAR! I will send out a long email next week with procedures, videos, etc. This week, lets focus on completing all the Beginning of Year forms, Medical information, Meet the Teacher, Phelan Phonebook, and Parent presentation.
I hope everyone has a tremendous week and I will see you Tuesday!
Principal,
Kevin Croft
