Happy Friday (a day early!)

I need your help. The end of the year is upon us and we only have one PTA officer position filled. Thank you, Kristin Daly for agreeing to be our PTA president next school year! We are currently looking to fill 4 more positions: Vice President, Treasurer, Recording Secretary, & Membership Chairperson. I am concerned that if we do not find volunteers for these positions then we will not be able to run our beloved home-school community events. These events include the Glow dance, 5th grade picnic, talent show, fundraisers, and more!

I promise these positions are not hard and you do not need past experience to apply! I have included a description of each position below for your review. Training is available, we just need family members to be a risktaker and support the school. Please email

laureltonpardeepta@gmail.com or meghan_bello@eastiron.monroe.edu if you're interested.

Also, please enjoy the long weekend as there is no school Monday, May 30th in observance of Memorial Day. On behalf of our Laurelton-Pardee community, we remember and honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we may enjoy the freedoms we do today. Thank you for your service.

Enjoy your weekend,

Dr. Bello

ps: Our "ABC Countdown" continues! The calendar is below so you can anticipate what each day will bring!

Below, you will find a few resources to enrich your experience reading Wishtree with your child at home. The family guide has some fun family activities and questions about chapters, the video series captures staff reading chapters aloud, and the calendar helps keep track of where we should be in the story. These are all optional of course but we hope you will enjoy this time with your child.

Please enjoy our Spring Concert videos!

This week was the last week to check out books as we start to wind down the year. Over the next few weeks, students will continue coming to the library for read alouds and activities, but the focus will shift to collecting all materials that have been checked out. This week, the library hosted GAME DAY as we countdown the days of the year - students loved playing board games with friends! Next Friday is our school wide assembly to celebrate the end of our One School, One book reading of Wishtree - students will have the opportunity to represent their grade level and show off what they know. We can't wait!

Please check out our Digital K-12 Art Spotlight!

Dear Parents,

Our district hopes this letter finds your families happy and healthy. Enclosed you will find a paper copy of your child’s report card. You will also receive a paper copy of the report card in March. However, for the final report card in June, we will not be sending a paper copy. At that time, we will ask that you access your child’s report card through the parent portal in Infinite Campus. You will need a parent portal account to do this. Below are the directions on how to create a parent portal account. If you already have a parent portal account, you can access the report card now in the portal.

We felt it was important to communicate this now, so we have time to support you in this transition. We will resend these directions in March and principals will continue to share this information in their building communications. In June, if you need a paper copy, we will most certainly respond to this request. We will send more details as that final marking period comes to a close.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Terri Robson
