Wildcat Weekly- 11/17-11/21
Message from Principal Martinez 🐾
Dear Wildcat Families:
We are so excited to have met our fundraising goal this week! Looking ahead we anticipate a fun Wildcat Run on Thursday, 11/20. Please join us for the spirited fun on our field!
This coming week is a very important week for our school community as our teachers have prepared for Parent-Teacher conferences. This is a time for you to connect with your teacher and hear about your child’s progress. This information is important to our partnership as we work together to ensure your child’s success. Please come prepared to hear about report cards, and data that gives us a bigger picture of how to best support your child’s behavior and academics. We appreciate your participation in conference week and don’t forget that our dismissal is 1pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. We dismiss at regular 1:25p.m time on Thursday.
Go Wildcats!
Parent/ Teacher Conferences
Next week is Parent Teacher Conference week at Pomerado. Our schedule for the week is linked here. Teachers are looking forward to meeting with parents and guardians to share and celebrate student progress.
Progress reports will be available online through Synergy ParentVUE beginning on Wednesday, December 3rd at 5:00 pm. Please use the following links - English | Spanish - to learn how to access the progress report.

Got a cool career to share with our students? Join us! 🤩 Career Day is a special event at Pomerado to showcase all the amazing jobs in our community. We are looking for parents and/or volunteers to come and share their careers with our students. 👨⚖️👩⚕️🧑💻 Each "career" will host a table in the MPR and classes rotate for brief, inspiring visits throughout the day. The event runs from about 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM, and the more careers we have to share, the better! 📈
If you're interested in sharing your career, please complete the Interest Form here (no commitment - even if you're just considering!). We need your help to get broad representation from many exciting fields! 🌍
College Shirts Are in!
At Pomerado, each class adopts a college and shows their school spirit by wearing their college's shirt at Friday Flag each month. If possible, PAWs asks that each parent contributes $10 to the College Shirt fund. Donations can be made at this link. Donations are not required for your child to receive a shirt. Every child will receive one!
