Principal's Message
It's hard to believe that we have entered the month November and the first semester of school is almost complete. This school year is moving along quickly. We are extremely proud of what our students have accomplished so far and look forward to their continued success.
Cooler weather is on the way. Please make sure that your child/children are dressed appropriately for the weather. Jackets, hats, gloves, scarves, etc. are needed when the temperature drops really low. Make sure your child's/children's names are inside of their personal items so they don't get lost. Contact the Family Engagement Center if you need support with any of these items.
On November 11, we honor the sacrifices our veterans and their family members have made for our country in the name of freedom and democracy. We have a number of staff members and parents who have served or have family members who have served/are serving in the armed forces. Thank you to each veteran for their bravery, hard work, and dedication to our country.
Thank you for your continued support!
Generals Salute,
Mrs. Clowers

Attendance:
- School attendance has a direct impact on achievement. A student missing just two or more days each month can be considered chronically absent. Research has proven that this can cause a decrease in reading level and other areas. Encouraging regular school attendance can also contribute to positive lifelong habits.
Tardiness:
- Please make sure your child attends school on time. Partee ES starts at 8:20 am.
- Students are tardy at 8:50 am.
Helpful tips for regular attendance:
- Schedule appointments and/or vacations outside of school hours or on non-school days.
- Assure that your child has a regular bedtime, minimize technology before sleep.
- Develop evening routines such as laying out clothes and school materials.
- Communicate any absence causes with the classroom teacher.
- Send in attendance notes when your child is absent within 5 days after the student has return to school.
