Partee General News
Partee Elementary Parent Newsletter - December 2024
The winter break is approaching quickly. The holiday season is a great time to reflect on our blessings and think of ways to impact and connect with others. I've said this before, but feel that is important to repeat. I am grateful for an amazing school where students can come to learn and grow daily. I am also grateful for the gift of a wonderful staff and teachers who give many countless hours of their day to provide students with a quality instructional experience. I am very appreciative of our extremely supportive parents and community who support and partner with Partee Elementary. Have a wonderful winter break!
Even though our weather can be fickle, 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 Parent Center if you need support with any of these items.
Thank you for your continued support! Have a wonderful winter break.
Generals Salute,
Mrs. Clowers
Mrs. Barnes has worked at Partee for 10 years as a classroom teacher, Instructional Coach, and Assistant Principal. I am excited to share that Ms. Barnes was recently named Coordinator of Federal Programs. Ms. Barnes will transition to her new role on January 6th. We thank her for her time , dedication, and the love she has shown to the Partee Community over the years. We wish her the best and will miss her!
Thank you to everyone who supported the Scholastic Book Fair! With your help, we raised over $2000 for our school library. This money will go towards buying new books, our annual student book giveaway via the BookMobile, and a special author visit from Patrice McLaurin (author of Have You Thanked a Kidventor Today?)
As we wind down for the winter break, please don't forget to visit our friends at the Centerville Branch of Gwinnett County Public Library. They are a great place to hang out and get new books during your time of rest and relaxation.
