Ernie Pyle Elementary ~ June 2023
Message from the Principal - May 2, 2024
Hello Pyle Families,
It is time for our SPRING Parent Title 1 survey. Please take a minute to give us your feedback on our survey. Your valuable input will guide our planning for next year.
Our "Attendance Challenge" is in full swing. Students are challenged to be on time every day between April 15, and May 15 to be invited to the "No Tardy Party." Help your student set their alarm and be on time to get to this celebration.
Thank you to all families who are planning on joining us this evening for our Open House. The front gate will open at 4:50 pm. Our Tk-4 music program ETMLA will have a parent presentation in the cafeteria from 5-5:30 pm. At 5:30 in the cafeteria, we will have an introduction of staff members and a PTA meeting. From 5:45-6:45 pm, our classrooms will be open for you to visit and see what our students have prepared for you. We will have vendors and community partners available on campus from 4:50-6:45. We hope you will be able to join us for this wonderful family evening.
If you have not yet completed the intent to return Google Form for the 2024-2025 school year please complete this to let us know if your student will be returning to Ernie Pyle in the fall. This helps us plan for classes so that we can have a great start to the year. https://tinyurl.com/Intent2Return24-25 You will not need to register your student again, they will automatically be enrolled in the next grade. If you live in another school zone and were sent to Ernie Pyle because your home school was full you will return to that school in the fall.
School is closed on Friday, May 3. Enjoy the three day weekend and we will see you all on Monday, May 6, at Ernie Pyle.

Thank you to those of you who have already used the link provided to conduct your online shopping and to those of you who have donated gift cards to our classrooms. Students can continue turning in envelopes with the code earned from sharing 10 emails to earn their reading buddy all year long.
