Performing Panther auditions for grades 1-5 will be held Monday, November 28 and Tuesday, November 29. Permission slips must be received in order to audition.

Hello Pinewood Family, We had a very successful Conference Night this past week. Thank you to our teachers and staff for preparing for these important conversations and thank you to our families for making education a priority. Monday and Tuesday of this week, the walker bridge is being closed for repair. There will be additional police to assist during arrival and dismissal. We ask that you remind your children that toys and playing cards should not be brought to school. This becomes especially distracting during dismissal. Mrs. Coder, our amazing music teacher, will be holding auditions on November 28th and 29th for the Performing Panthers. This year, auditions and participation is open to students in grades 1-5. Please ask your teacher for a packet if you are interested. This coming week may be short, but certainly one of the most important weeks of the month, as we give thanks and reflect on the goodness and love that surrounds each and every one of us. We, at PWE, are blessed to be part of your lives. Here are this week’s events: 11/21 – Fall Retake Pictures 11/22 – Boy Scouts Meeting Coming shortly after this holiday break is the mid-year assessments for all students, K-5, in Reading, Math and Science. Hola familia Pinewood, Tuvimos una noche de conferencias muy exitosa la semana pasada. Gracias a nuestros maestros y personal por prepararse para estas importantes conversaciones y gracias a nuestras familias por hacer de la educación una prioridad. El lunes y martes de esta semana, el puente peatonal estará cerrado por reparaciones. Habrá policía adicional para ayudar durante la llegada y la salida. Le pedimos que le recuerde a sus hijos que no deben traer juguetes o tarjetas de juego a la escuela. Esto se vuelve especialmente molesto durante el despido. La Sra. Coder, nuestra increíble maestra de música, realizará audiciones el 28 y 29 de noviembre para Performing Panthers. Este año, las audiciones y la participación están abiertas a estudiantes en los grados 1-5. Por favor, pídale a su maestro un paquete si está interesado. Esta próxima semana puede ser corta, pero sin duda una de las semanas más importantes del mes, ya que damos gracias y reflexionamos sobre la bondad y el amor que nos rodea a todos y cada uno de nosotros. Nosotros, en PWE, tenemos la bendición de ser parte de sus vidas. Estos son los eventos de esta semana: 21/11 – Fotos de retomar otoño 22/11 – Reunión de Boy Scouts Poco después de estas vacaciones, llegarán las evaluaciones de mitad de año para todos los estudiantes, K-5, en Lectura, Matemáticas y Ciencias..

"We remember those who were called upon to give all a person can give, and we remember those who were prepared to make that sacrifice if it were demanded of them in the line of duty, though it never was. Most of all, we remember the devotion and gallantry with which all of them ennobled their nation as they became champions of a noble cause." - Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States of America #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud #VeteransDay
