Hi Wildcats!

We hope you can join us this week for a few special events. On Tuesday, 5/21, we are hosting a Paint the Pathway event at 4:15 pm on the blacktop to help complete our new sensory pathway. Our 5th grade band concert is on Wednesday, at 6:30 pm. Our 5th grade band students are excited to show off their skills and showcase their musical talents. We hope to see you there!

We are looking forward to another wonderful week at Pomerado!

Thanks,

Mrs. Julie Goldberg

Thank you PAWs for coordinating all the fundraising opportunities which allowed us to create this outdoor learning space in our K/1 hallway. Thank you to all our parents and families for their donations for this project.

Parents, it's time to buy your 1st Day School Supplies. I know it seems early, but before you know it, summer will be here. It's important you order your supplies before it's too late or supplies run out. Start the school year with the exact supplies your teacher requested, and give your child the confidence they need to conquer next year! Order deadline is July 1st

We are fortunate to have a local high school Girl Scout who is working on a service project to benefit our school. She has designed and laid the foundation for a large sensory pathway on our blacktop. She has organized a community event to help paint the designs on the pathway and is inviting all students, staff, and families to participate. If your family would like to be part of this school event, mark your calendars with the details below.

When: Tuesday, May 21, from 4:15 pm - 5:15 pm

Where: The blacktop at the back of school

What to wear: please wear clothes/shoes you are ok with getting paint on

What to bring: You do not need to bring anything. You may bring water and snacks for you and your family if you choose.

We MUST receive a completed digital packet for all returning students. This will allow for proper placement of your student for the new school year. This annual digital process will allow a family to complete one single “family” packet instead of completing one packet per student. Packets can be completed using any computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection.

Continuing Registration Steps:

1. Login and review or update the digital registration packet online at the ParentVue portal: https://sis.powayusd.com/packet.

2. Review and complete the required forms located at the conclusion of the process. A packet is not considered final until this step is completed.

Please note: MEDICATION FORMS or ADDITIONAL SIGNED SITE SPECIFIC FORMS WILL NOT BE COLLECTED UNTIL SCHOOL BEGINS IN AUGUST FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this important process. We are looking forward to a fantastic new school year!

The PUSD Enrollment Team

Our library is now closed, but we still have lots of overdue books to collect! Please be sure to check your email inbox and student's backpack for notices regarding overdue/lost books. Books not returned in the coming week will be marked as lost and fines will be assessed. Unpaid fines on students' library accounts do carry over to next year (even if your student is moving on to middle school) and could affect your student's ability to check out books in the fall.

For our 5th graders, please stay tuned for more information regarding Chromebook and charger collection. All 5th graders will be turning in their devices on Wednesday, May 29 and will receive brand new Chromebooks at the start of 6th grade.

Chalk Art Day, Thursday, May 23

Chalk Art Day is this Thursday. Your students will be creating works of art on the blacktop with chalk during class. Please reach out to your student's teacher if you would like to volunteer.

PAWs Open Positions for 2024/2025

If you are a 5th grade parent, we need you or a team to become our leads for 5th grade boosters. It's a great way to get involved in your child's last year at Pomerado and help to make it a blast! Please reach out to Ms. Thomson or Suzette Lam if you are interested. We are also looking for a room parent coordinator to help streamline communications to all room parents. Feel free to email us with any questions! pomeradopaws@gmail.com
