We hope this finds you doing well and that your child has been enjoying the first month of school. Our students and teachers have been hard at work in terms of accomplishing many learning goals that have been set across all content areas according to our School Improvement Process. In doing so, students are encouraged to productively struggle through new concepts with teacher support in order to work cooperatively and most importantly become successful, independent learners.

As the school year unfolds, be sure you are checking your child's ParentVue Synergy account on a regular basis in order to keep track of their progress according to grades that teachers are entering related to assignments that lead toward report card grading. If you have any specific questions related to the academic and social/emotional progress of your child, please be sure to contact their classroom teacher.

We encourage you to support your child at home by discussing their school day, reading books, practicing math problem solving, and discussing science and social studies concepts. Additionally, it is a great idea to encourage your child to practice their written expression and creativity through writing by communicating their thoughts and expressions by drafting descriptive sentences and paragraphs.

As we head deeper into the months of fall and the 1st Marking Period of the school year, we look forward to celebrating your child's success in school along with continuing to receive your full support.

All the Best,

Eric Meredith

Principal

Order forms will be going home with students next week!

Just a reminder that all volunteers and visitors (including parents that come to join their child for lunch) must have an approved WCPS Volunteer Application on file before being granted permission to visit.

Volunteer Applications are available for pick-up at the office or can be sent home with your child upon request. If you would like to print it at home, complete, and return it to school click on the download button right below.

Deadline for iCoverage payment is November 22nd, 2019.

The fee is $15 per student (with a maximum of $45 per family).

Note: Until the outstanding fees are paid, School/Administrator discretion can be used to determine when it is appropriate to allow students to take home a device.

We are encouraging you to use the My School Bucks online system as a more convenient way of paying the iCoverage fee and for acknowledging the Responsible Use Guidelines. My School Bucks is the same system you use to pay your child’s lunch account. From a computer, you can sign in to www.myschoolbucks.com and select “Technology Fee."

Cash and check payment options are also available.

Checks made payable to Pangborn Elementary School (please note the student name on the memo of the check).

Prepared. Positive. Peaceful.
