Ernie Pyle Elementary ~ June 2023

Hello Pyle Families,
This month we are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month and providing opportunities for students to enjoy music and activities for this. Students are enjoying learning on the playground and in the classroom. Flyer - English Flyer - Spanish
Ernie Pyle has been recognized by receiving the Gold Implementation Award at the State Level for being a PBIS school. Ask your students about how they use their PAWS on campus to show our Positive Behavior Expectations. Thank you all for the continued partnership in ensuring that all of our panthers respect each other and learn from any situations that arise.
Students from Mrs. Ober's 6th Grade class, Ms. Blankenship's 2nd Grade class, and Mrs. Ashton's TK class won the "Good Behavior Lunchtime Contest" and earned a free dress day as a reward. Congratulations and keep up the great work!
Thank you to all of our teachers and families for meeting this week to discuss our panthers academics. We appreciate the time and partnership between the school and the home. Thank you for meeting with us!
