Neabsco News

Dear Neabsco Families,

The first week of school has been a success! As I am starting my 8th year at Neabsco, I’m thrilled to welcome both returning families and those joining us for the first time. We have an amazing staff to support and grow your child. Our school is a place where students are leaders, kindness is celebrated, respect is required and every child is encouraged to grow and thrive.

This year, we’re excited to continue building a strong partnership with you to support your child’s learning journey. Our Neabsco staff has been working hard to prepare engaging lessons, create welcoming classrooms, and foster a safe and inclusive environment for all.

Thank you for communicating with your child’s teacher to ensure they get home safely each day. Your support and collaboration make a big difference in helping us keep every student safe and cared for.

Please use School Status to regularly communicate with your child's teachers. If you need to send doctor's note or have office communication, please send it to office@pwcs.edu.

Let’s make this year a great one, filled with student growth and celebration of all the great things our Stars do each and every day. I look forward to seeing you at upcoming family events and working together to make this school year the best one yet!

Please reach out if I can support you or your child in any way.

Mrs. Brooke LeVecchi
Principal, Neabsco Elementary

Medications at School

Does you student have a medication that must be given during school hours? Or has an over-the-counter medication that's as needed and would be helpful to have stored in the clinic?

Please fill out the medication administration form. (Prescription medication form must be signed by healthcare provider). All medications must be dropped off and picked up by parent/guardian, no meds will be taken from or given to student.

Medication cannot be administered to any student without appropriate authorization forms completed and on file. Any medication must be be provided in a new, sealed container with the completed authorization form. Students may NOT transport medication to and from school. Any medication not meeting the PWCS regulations will not be administered to your student.

🥛 Monster Milkshakes 🍫

Have you ever made a milkshake? You dump ice cream in a cup, pour in some milk, and mix it up into a sweet goopy treat. This kind of milkshake has been around only since 1922, when a worker at Walgreens tried mixing ice cream and milk. But there’s no limit to what you can put on top of a milkshake… cotton candy, cookies, peanut butter cups, pretzels, gummy worms and anything else!

Wee ones: If your mega milkshake has milk, ice cream, cookies, whipped cream and chocolate sauce, how many ingredients does it have?

Little kids: If you try a shake every day this week starting on Sunday, but on Saturday you eat 2 shakes instead, how many do you have in total? Bonus: If your milkshake is 1 inch shorter than 12 inches, how tall is it?

Big kids: If you get in line at “Monster Milkshakes” at 2:09 pm and wait 1 hour 14 minutes, at what time do you finally get your milkshake? Bonus: Monster Milkshakes has 3 flavors of shakes: Haunted Chocolate, (Gummy) Worms and Bears, and Vampire Vanilla. If they serve 28 shakes in that repeating order, how many of each kind do they serve?
