Message from Mrs. Harp // Mensaje de la Sra. Harp
Hello Panther families!
Welcome back and Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful break and feel ready to tackle a new year! We are all excited to see all our Panthers on Tuesday and hear all about their Winter Break fun!
Reminder that tomorrow is a staff development day, so teachers will all be engaged in learning while you get one more day with your kiddos!
School Tours and registration is upon us- if you know of a family interested in coming to Penngrove, be sure to direct them to our website for tour dates and times.
It is Youth Truth time! Please be sure to take the short Youth Truth survey (it will take about 10 minutes). We use the data to help us make decisions to better serve our students and families. Your feedback is very important to us!
Happy Sunday!
❓ Principal Harp's Question of the Week ❓
❓ La pregunta de la semana del director Harp ❓
Each week, I will be sending out a question with which you will be given the opportunity to engage in a new conversation with your child. We all know how hard it is to draw out responses other than, "nothing" or "fine" when we ask "What did you do today?" or "How was school?" Be sure to use open ended follow-up questions and statements such as "Tell me more about that!" or "What did you think of that?" Please ask your student(s) the question below, share their response with us and make our day! You can submit more than one response!
(No need to put names or identifying words.)
This week's question:
Tell me all about the best part of your Winter Break!
last week's answers:
Skate Night 🛼 Noche de patinaje

Reading Kit Request
We're so excited to introduce Penngrove Reading Kits this year. This is a fun way to bring new books home to read as a family, support a struggling reader, encourage a love of reading, or just for FUN! If you're curious which kit would be best for your reader, don't hesitate to reach out to their classroom teacher.
Detailed description of these kits are here. Otherwise, feel free to browse the kits in the office or reach out to Mrs. M with any questions at amiljkovic@petk12.org. There are multiple kits at most levels with different titles to keep things interesting :)
Families can check out 2 kits per student at a time and return in 2 weeks.
