Pershing Rams Parent Newsletter
April/May 2024
Dear Parents and Guardians,
The end of the school year is upon us. As we continue testing season, I'd like to thank you for supporting student success by sending your children to school on time every day during STAAR testing. Let's continue making attendance a priority so that all students are best prepared to demonstrate academic achievement and growth on end-of-year MAP and/or CIRCLE assessments.
I am happy to share how excited we were to see so many parents attend our spring semester events! Later in this newsletter are pictures from our Enrollment Fest, Reading Extravaganza and Fiesta Celebration. THANK YOU for making it a priority to participate in school events. There is research that shows parental involvement leads to improved academic outcomes, has a positive impact on students' social and emotional skills, supports good attendance and helps build a stronger home-school partnership. The students enjoyed seeing you at school and I did, too!
Here are a few ways you can be involved in your child's education:
- Read with children at home
- Help with homework
- Discuss school events
- Attend school functions and meetings
- Serve as a school volunteer
If you have special talents or skills that you would like to share with the Rams familia, please contact the main office or your child's teacher to share details. We would love to have you be our guest.
Thank you,
Ms. Livas
Principal
¡Estoy feliz de compartir lo emocionados que estábamos de ver a tantos padres asistir a nuestros eventos del semestre de primavera! Más adelante en este boletín encontrará fotografías de nuestro festival de inscripción, espectáculo de lectura y celebración de la fiesta. GRACIAS por hacer que participar en los eventos escolares sea una prioridad. Hay investigaciones que muestran que la participación de los padres conduce a mejores resultados académicos, tiene un impacto positivo en las habilidades sociales y emocionales de los estudiantes, apoya la buena asistencia y ayuda a construir una asociación más sólida entre el hogar y la escuela. ¡Los estudiantes disfrutaron verte en la escuela y yo también!

School Attendance Goal
Meta de asistencia escolar
Pershing Elementary has a school-wide attendance goal of 93% for the year. Parents, please send your students to school everyday unless they are truly sick. As a reminder, school hours are 7:30 am - 3:20 pm. All students need to be in class by 8:00 am. Students who arrive after 8:00 am are considered tardy. Tardy students must be escorted to the main office and signed in by a parent or guardian. When students are absent, it is your responsibility to send a note to the main office when they return.
Enrollment Fest '24
What a wonderful time for all! The weather was great and many parents came out to enjoy themselves after registering their students for the 24-25 school year.
¡Qué momento tan maravilloso para todos! El clima estuvo excelente y muchos padres salieron a divertirse después de registrar a sus estudiantes para el año escolar 24-25.

¡Gracias a los padres por dedicar tiempo a leerles a los estudiantes!
Estuvimos encantados de tenerlos como nuestros invitados y ver las sonrisas emocionadas de sus hijos.😃
Viva Fiesta
Pershing's halls were filled with the sounds of Fiesta. Thank you to everyone who came out to make this day to remember. The box car parade was lots of fun!
Los pasillos de Pershing se llenaron con los sonidos de Fiesta.
Gracias a todos los que vinieron a hacer que este día sea inolvidable. ¡El desfile de furgones fue muy divertido!
