Pontiac Elementary School News

The end of the school year draws near! Soon, we will begin to recognize our students. As a Leader in Me school, it is our goal to acknowledge all the ways in which our students are successful. This means that when you attend your child’s grade level recognition ceremony, you may see students recognized for achievements outside the classroom. It is our hope that by recognizing students in the areas in which they are most successful, we’re also acknowledging their leadership abilities! Please join us as we recognize the achievement of your child at the ceremonies listed below.
