Week of October 9-13
Message from Mr. French
Smiler Families,
We have been working hard this week at Pineville. Students across grade levels have been learning new concepts and teachers have been intentional about responding to student data. You should be hearing from your child's teacher to set up a conference. Our hope is that every family has a conference to hear about how we can partner together.
We are in our last week of the Smiler Stash campaign. Below, you will see information about how to give, the reason to give and fun prizes. This campaign is vital to all the work that our PTA does to support us each and every day. We hope you will consider even a small donation to support our school. If every family gave ten dollars per child, we would be able to surpass our next goal. We understand the needs of all our families are different and appreciate all the many ways you support us.
You will also see below in the events that we have a few days of extended planning coming up. On these days, a particular grade level will have specials all day long, so their teachers can collaborate and plan for the upcoming units of study. Other grade levels will not have specials on these days. By the end of the month, every grade level will have one day of all day specials.
I really appreciate working with our school community and all that you do to work with us each and every day. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and I look forward to seeing everyone's students on Monday.
