📬 Report cards come home this Friday! Please reach out to your child’s teacher with questions about grades, behavior, attendance, or ways to support learning at home.
🎃 Thank you to everyone who made our Fall Festival special by planning, decorating, donating treats, volunteering, or bringing your family to enjoy the fun!
⭐ We’re proud of our students who earned 85% or higher positive Dojo points in Quarter 1! They celebrated with Fall Fun Activities last week. Thank you to the parents who helped supervise the rotations!
💛 This week’s morning meetings focus on EMOTIONS! All feelings are okay. Encourage your child to be an Emotion Detective by noticing their feelings and kindly asking others how they feel.

This message is for families of students who ride Bus 51, driven by Ms. Jada Williams.
Beginning Monday, October 19 and each day following, Bus 51 will arrive at morning bus stops approximately 10 minutes earlier. Please have your child ready for pickup 10 minutes before their usual time.
After reviewing the first-quarter schedule, we have found that students on Bus 51 are arriving much later than previous years, not leaving them much time for breakfast before the tardy bell. Starting the route earlier will allow students to start their school day feeling more calm and ready to learn.
Bus 51’s afternoon arrival times will remain the same.
Bus 71’s morning and afternoon schedules will also remain the same.
Thank you for your flexibility and support!
Reminder: There is no school on tomorrow, Friday, October 16, as it is a Teacher Workday. PECIL students still have classes.
The Fall Picture Gallery has officially reopened, and we are so excited for you to see your little one’s adorable photos! 🧡
📷 How to View & Order Your Pictures:
The gallery link and your child’s album access code can be found on ClassDojo.
🔑 Important Reminder: Please enter the access code using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS to access your child’s album.
🛍️ Ordering Deadline: October 31
Please be sure to submit all picture orders by October 31!
💳 Ordering & Payment:
We kindly request that all orders and payments be completed online. If you are unable to place an order or make payment online, please call our office for further assistance. We are happy to help!
🍂 Picture Make-Up Day: November 5
If your child missed picture day or needs a make-up photo, our make-up day is scheduled for November 5.
