Primary Education Center Newsletter
Dear Lewiston-Porter Primary Education Center Families,
There is so much to be grateful for in our school community! As we enter this season of gratitude, I want to thank you for your continued partnership and support as we work together to make every child's educational journey meaningful, engaging, and successful.
Thank you to all the families who completed our Parent Leader in Me Survey. Your feedback is valuable and will help guide our continued growth as a school community. Our Building Leadership Team will review feedback from both families and staff as we identify opportunities to strengthen our work and align our efforts with the District Strategic Plan. We look forward to sharing our progress with you in the future. Our hope is to empower students to develop lifelong habits that foster a growth mindset, build confidence, and prepare them to make meaningful contributions to their community.
First Trimester and Parent-Teacher Conferences
Our first trimester will conclude on December 4th. Please be on the lookout for communication from your child's classroom teacher regarding the process for scheduling Parent-Teacher Conferences.
We have dedicated Friday, December 11th, to these important conversations between families and teachers. These conferences provide a valuable opportunity to celebrate your child's growth, review academic achievement, and discuss individual goals and next steps. We deeply value the opportunity to collaborate with you as partners in your child's educational journey.
A Season of Gratitude at PEC
As we reflect on all that makes our school special, I am sincerely grateful for our dedicated staff, who bring their personal best to our shared mission each day. I am equally thankful for our supportive families, who partner with us to create the best pathway for their children. Most of all, I am grateful for our students, who teach me valuable life lessons every day through their curiosity, kindness, resilience, and unique perspectives.
In the spirit of gratitude, I encourage you to invite your child to share a note, poem, or piece of artwork with a teacher or school helper this month expressing their appreciation. A simple message answering the question, “What are you thankful for?” can brighten someone's day and remind us of the meaningful connections that make our PEC community so special.

Remi
Remi introduced herself to a new friend from Mrs. Moncada's class and offered to help this student at dismissal. She was very sweet and went out of her way to be kind and helpful.
Raffa
Raffa is being recognized for being a wonderful leader in our classroom! He consistently makes positive choices and sets a great example for his younger classmates by showing them how to follow classroom routines and expectations. We are so proud of the responsibility he shows and the positive example he sets for others!
Rose
Today in library, a new student started coming to special during Mrs. Allen-Thomas and Miss Cohen's class time. This student didn't know anyone else in the class yet. Rose really stepped up and showed her what to do and where to go every step of the way! Rose modeled the right choices with kindness and patience. She really showed how to synergize and think win win!
