Pittman Press

We had an incredible start to the fourth quarter! Can you believe we have just about 40 days left in the school year?

Last month, we celebrated our "Be Kind" students—check out their picture below! This month, we’re focusing on the theme "I can be a learner ALL day." Students are working hard to demonstrate learner traits, especially in the afternoons when staying focused can be a challenge.

I also want to take a moment to recognize two outstanding professionals at Pittman. Ms. Manden Matz, our reading interventionist, has been named a finalist for the Turner Reading Award, and Ms. Crystal Elliott, our school counselor, is a finalist for Counselor of the Year! We are incredibly proud of their achievements—they are already winners in our eyes at Pittman!

Fourth quarter grade cards have been uploaded to Home Access Center. If you need your login information, please reach out to Ms. Gwen.

Wishing you well,

Ms. Agnew

Per federal guidelines, we are required to do an annual parent survey each year for Title I parent and family engagement and will use this data as we complete Title I plans for next year.

Please complete this survey to help us develop our plan. https://forms.gle/R3qEq62LMKagWmWo6

The survey will be active through the end of the day next Friday, April 4th.
