Main Street Roar!

Hello Main Street Family!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our April Tiger of he Month celebration!

PSSA testing has been completed. Thank you for ensuring your students reported to school on time during the testing block.

As we wind down the year, we will be implementing reading and math benchmark assessments to determine our students' academic growth this year. We are excited to see their growth!

Academic instruction will continue as it is our desire to fill our scholars' vessels with as much knowledge as possible!

The weather is warmer and outdoor recess is more likely to take place. Please do not send your children to school wearing crocs or flip flops. While the footwear is cute and trendy, it is not secure on children's feet as they are running around, jumping rope, or engaging in active outdoor games.

Let's end this year with a bang! If we can finish the month of May with 95% building attendance, or 80% or more of our students achieve one years growth in their Reading and Math end of year i-Ready assessments, Principal Medley will let the students duct tape her to the wall!

I and the entire Main Street staff, thank you for your support and trusting us with your most cherish possessions!

Have a great Mother's Day weekend!

As you can see, our lost and found is growing again. One of our new students located his book bag there. Encourage your students to go to the lost and found to claim their belongings.

It is important your child(ren) attend school every day. The chart below indicates how much instruction your child(ren) will miss if they are not present.

In an effort to enhance sanitary measures in our building, all drinking fountains have been removed from the building. They have been replaced with water stations. Students can fill their water bottles during the school day. Please send refillable plastic water bottles to school with your children.

Parents:

Please refrain from making u turns in the car line during dismissal. The safety of our children and parents is of utmost importance to us. We would like to move the cars through the line without any disruptions.
