Main Street Roar

Dear Main Street Families,

Thank you for your support and participation during Autism Acceptance Week. It was a meaningful week focused on building understanding, inclusion, and celebrating all of our scholars!

Today is the final day to complete our Family Survey. We value your feedback and encourage all families to take a few minutes to share their input. Your responses help us continue to improve and better support our students and families. Complete the survey here.

Please take note of the following important upcoming dates:

• Wednesday, April 15th is a half day for students. Report card conferences will be held from 12:30–4:00 PM. We look forward to connecting with you to discuss your child’s progress.
• Wednesday, April 15th is also Tax Day. This is a reminder to file your federal and state taxes!
• Thursday, April 16th is Picture Day for all students. If you have not yet received a picture form, please reach out to your child’s teacher.
• Also on Thursday, April 16th, we will host our PSSA Family Meeting and PTO Meeting. Families who attend will earn a dress down ticket for Friday, April 17th!
• Friday, April 17th is our Honor Roll and Perfect Attendance celebration. Our K-2 celebration will begin at 1:30pm and our 3-5 celebration will begin at 2:30pm. Invitations will be sent out next week.

📊 Attendance Matters – Let’s Finish Strong!

This week, our schoolwide attendance averaged 64%, which is below where we want to be. Daily attendance is critical to your child’s academic success—every day of learning truly matters, especially as we approach the end of the school year and prepare for important assessments like the PSSA.

Our goal is to reach 90% Average Daily Attendance (ADA), and we need your partnership to get there. Please make every effort to ensure your child is at school on time, every day, unless they are sick.

Let’s work together to build strong habits and finish the school year strong!

⚠️ Important Allergy Reminder – No Nuts in School

To help keep all students safe, nuts and foods containing nuts are not permitted in school due to student allergies. Parents and guardians, please ensure that students do not bring snacks containing nuts or peanut butter. If your child brings Lunchables or similar packaged meals, kindly remove any items that contain nuts or peanut butter before sending them to school. Your cooperation helps us maintain a safe and healthy environment for all students. Thank you for your understanding.

Parents and Guardians:

Chromebooks or other technological devices are used in class for students to complete assignments and assessments. Students may not download games, wallpapers or participate in video group discussions. Improper use of technology could result in the student losing privileges of using the school's device.

Please reach out with any questions. We encourage you to have regular conversations with your students about their progress and learning. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to the opportunity to continue to partner for your student’s success!
