"Mr. Ryan" & "Mrs. Ellen" Day
Wednesday, October 2nd is National Custodian Day! During the day we are going to celebrate & recognize our amazing lead custodian, Mr. Ryan! He is a favorite staff member among most students. He goes above and beyond the call of duty; not only keeping our campus safe & secure but also assisting students with a friendly conversation, forgotten items, lost retainers, parent pick ups and even Friday music at the lunch tables.
Student Council members wanted to make sure that this day would not pass by without honoring Mr. Ryan and Mrs. Ellen (night custodian) for their dedication & hard work.
If you see either of them on Wednesday, October 2nd, let them know you appreciate their work or have your student write a friendly thank you card.
Every day that students are present at school is important to their academic success and social-emotional wellbeing. It is very important that students arrive at school on time, and attend school every day unless they are sick, or are attending to a family emergency.
What happens when my child needs to miss school?
Parents should notify the school for all student absences. To report an absence for your child, please call the attendance hotline (858-679-2604) or email pmesattendance@powayusd.com
Only Parents and legal guardians may call the hotline and/or excuse an absence. The hotline and email are available 24 hours. We verify all absences every day, if at the end of the day we do not hear from you your student will be marked truant until you notify us of the reason for their absence. Once we hear from you then the truant code will be corrected to reflect the reason for the absence.
During the month of September, we had a schoolwide focus on Respect. One way to think about Respect is “seeing value in all people and things & treating them with care.” Across grade levels, students will be developing skills like perspective-taking, conflict resolution, and leadership. This month, our schoolwide focus will be on Responsibility. One way to define responsibility is “taking action and understanding the impact of our choices.” Taking action can mean doing the right thing or completing the tasks you have been assigned. Understanding the impact of our choices means that our actions matter. Across grade levels students will be developing skills like focusing, organizing, and goal-setting. Please check out our monthly trait family newsletter attached below and help us reinforce our monthly traits at home. Thank you!
While in-person shopping at our Fall Literati Book Fair isn't until October 21-25, our online fair has already begun! Now is a great time to take a sneak peek at some of the titles we might see at our school book fair, or better yet, start your shopping early and grab some amazing online exclusives like boxed sets of favorite series (a great holiday gift idea!) and titles that won't be available at our in-person fair, including the ever-popular Dog Man and Babysitters Club. All profits from online and in-person book fair purchases directly benefit our school library and help us continue to grow a robust and diverse collection for our Wildcats to enjoy.
Please click here to check out our online Literati Book Fair
Feel free to share this link with friends and family who might also be interested in shopping our fair!
Stay tuned for more information coming home soon in your student's backpack, with details about the Book Fair and opportunities to volunteer.
Celebrate your child's birthday with a book donation to our school library! If you would like to participate in our Birthday Book Club, please click here for more information. When your child participates in our Birthday Book Club, a special Birthday Book Club book plate with their name will be placed in the book they have donated.
Of course, our library is ALWAYS happy to receive books from our Amazon Wish List, even if it's not in honor of a birthday!

Interested In Running a Club?
We have a few upper grade students who are really interested in starting a Drama Club where they can learn about acting and/or creating plays. HOWEVER, we need a parent to volunteer to run the club. If this is something you would be interested in please contact the school office.
Have a great week,
Your 2024/2025 PAWs team
