Jr K Voters Waiting to Cast their Ballots
Dear PWA Families,
What a week! It’s been a long one for sure, as we await the results of this historic election. We hope everyone got to cast their ballot either before or on November 3rd. As you can see, our teachers took the opportunity to talk to students about elections and government, and some of our students enjoyed the chance to cast their own ballots!
Our first-ever virtual parent/teacher conferences went very well, and we hope you felt you had the chance to connect with your child’s teacher. Tonight you’ll be able to access the results of your student’s hard work by viewing their report cards on Chalkable. All families should have received an email from the office this week with instructions on how to log in. If you didn’t get one, please let us know! You’ll find the link to access Chalkable, along with our grading scale, below. But you’ll need the unique username and password from the email to log in. If you have more than one student enrolled with us, the email you received will contain separate login information for each child.
Remember that our school picture day is coming up soon–on November 16th! Students should wear their school uniforms (Jr K and above). Picture day will be followed by instructions on how to access your proofs for ordering.
Next week, we’ll be closed for school and childcare on Wednesday (November 11th) as we honor our nation’s veterans.
This weekend will be beautiful–we hope you enjoy it!
To access your child’s report cards, visit https://121413.stiinformationnow.com/InformationNow/Login.aspx
We utilize a Standards system for preschool – kindergarten, and for our specials (music, art, PE, Spanish, and world languages) through middle school. Our standards are BL for Beginning Learner; DL for Developing Learner; and SL for Secure Learner. You’ll find our detailed grading scale below.
If you have any questions about your child’s report card, please email Dr. Nykwest.
We’ve scheduled our school picture day for Monday, November 16th! All students, infants and up, will have their pictures taken, and students Jr K and up should wear their school uniforms.
Pictures are being taken by LifeTouch this year, and proofs will be available to view and purchase online within a day. Pictures purchased before the end of November should arrive before the winter holiday season. We’ll send out more information soon, but mark your calendars in the meantime! You’ll also find the PWA calendar in the buttons below.
Please be sure to sign up for our text message alert system! We use this system to make weather-related and other important, need-to-know announcements.
You can opt-in by texting PWAED to 33222. You should receive a welcome message when you successfully subscribe.
We will be closed for school and childcare next Wednesday, November 11th, in observance of Veterans Day.
Our current lunch menu and lunch packets can always be found in the buttons at the end of each weekly email. The lunch menu is also directly below.
If you send your child to school with lunch, please remember that we are an entirely nut-free school.
