News From The Principal
Spring is here! The students are most certainly embracing the warmer weather and gearing up for all the fun spring activities. The PQ family would like to welcome officer Jessica Griesinger to the North Salem community. Officer Griesinger joined the District as a second School Resource Officer on Friday, 3/17. She has spent much time meeting faculty and staff and getting to know the students. Welcome!
Happening this week: On Thursday, 3/23, North Salem parents will have an opportunity to meet Dr. Wilson, the new Superintendent of schools. Dr. Wilson has not officially started his responsibility as Superintendent but is working hard to get to know the community and to smoothly transition into his new role. This Friday, 3/24, the 5th graders will have a Movie Night here at PQ! The event will allow students to connect and decompress at the end of a school week. Can wait to see all the 5th graders on Friday night!
Coming up next week: Our first ever 1st-grade concert will occur on Thursday, 3/30, at 6 pm. The students and Dr. Catino have been working hard to prepare for the evening, and the entire team is excited to see what they have in store for us.
Lastly, New York State Assessments for grades 3-8 will be held on Wednesday, April 19 - Thursday, April 20, 2023. Please see the attached letter if you are considering not having your student complete the assessment.
Be well,
Roy Martin & Dawn Snowdon
