Dear Panther Cub families and students!
We are excited to share that we have just wrapped up the third week of school! It’s been a week filled with discovery, collaboration, and fun as our students have settled into their routines and embraced new learning opportunities.
We’ve seen wonderful engagement in the classroom, and it’s heartwarming to witness the friendships blossoming among our students. As we step into week four, we encourage you to join in the excitement by discussing what your child is learning and celebrating their achievements, big and small.
Thank you for your continued support, and here's to an amazing week ahead!
Pawsome Picks: 3 Key Highlights This Week
🐾 1. Reminder For Car Rider Changes
The afternoon dismissal procedures will be effective Monday, September 9, 2024.
This change is being made for the safety of all students. On Monday, September 9, 2024, there will be NO parent pickup at the Kindergarten Door after school. All parents who have picked up students at the door during the first few weeks of school will now be required to pick up their children as car riders.
Please email Ms. Hubbard at HubbaTL@pwcs.edu if you need a car rider number. This applies to all Pre-K students and students with special needs who are picked up by their families.
Students will be taken to the car rider room by an adult who will also be responsible for monitoring them and escorting them to their cars. Car rider dismissal begins promptly at 4:00 PM. Please remain in your car until your child is brought to you.
Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation regarding this update to our school procedures. Our most important priority every day is student safety!
