Panther News

Dear Families,

We hope that all of you are staying healthy and safe during this unprecedented time. We wanted to provide some important information as well as some learning resources that are available during the school closure.

The goal of our WCPS resource site is to Keep Learning @WCPS! There are a variety of tips and resources available to support students. In addition, we will be posting weekly challenges for Pangborn students to complete. These challenges are optional and will provide an opportunity to engage with one another. Students will have the option of writing about their challenge or posting a Flipgrid video. Additional details can be found below.

Remember, in order to stay healthy, good hygiene is essential! Wash your hands and cover your coughs/sneezes in you arm/elbow. As we have all been hearing on the news, we are being encouraged to practice "social distancing", so please help our community stay healthy by reconnecting as a family and enjoying some of the opportunities included in this newsletter.

We are pleased to announce that Pangborn Elementary is one of the WCPS meal sites during the school closure. Breakfast, lunch, and a snack is served daily from 12:00-1:00PM Monday-Friday in the bus loop area. If you are in need of meals while your children are home, don't forget to take advantage of the Meal Program.
