Parent Weekly Update for the Week of April 14th

Spring Break is Monday, April 14^th - Monday, April 21^st. Classes resume Tuesday, April 22^nd.

The Department of Curriculum and Instruction has developed Spring Break Homework packets as a part of our program to continue to help students in reach their full academic potential.  All packets are optional and are available online. Please click on the following link.    http://www1.pgcps.org/curriculum/index.aspx?id=192245

The answer keys will be posted online after April 21, 2014.  You are encouraged to have your child complete the packets for additional practice in the core content areas for enhancement or reinforcement of skills.  Teachers may be providing possible credit for work completed. 

Third Quarter Report Cards were sent home today. We will be recognizing our Honor Roll and Perfect Attendance scholars on Friday, April 25^th.  Kindergarten and 1^st grade will have their Third Quarter Awards Assembly on Friday, May 2^nd.

April is the month of military child! We honor the strength, sacrifices and continual resilience demonstrated by military children in support of their military family members.

The official observance is Tuesday, April 15.  We will be out for Spring Break so I am asking all to observe “Purple Up Day” on Friday, April 25.  Scholars and staff will be allowed to wear a purple shirt with their uniform bottom.

The color purple is used to symbolize all branches, as it is a combination of Army green, Marine Corps red, and Coast Guard, Navy and Air Force blue. 

We would like to say Congratulations to Ms. Mackey, one of our kindergarten assistants.  She will be getting married over Spring Break!
