Main Street Roar

Dear Main Street Families,

Thank you for a wonderful week at Main Street! Thank you to all of the families who joined us this week for report card conferences, the PTO meeting, and our Honor Roll/Perfect Attendance assemblies. We appreciate your continued partnership and support of our school community.

PSSA testing for students in grades 3–5 will begin next week. We encourage all students to do their best and come to school ready to succeed each day. You can help your child prepare by making sure they get a good night’s rest, eat a healthy breakfast each morning, and arrive at school on time. Attendance is especially important during testing, and we are excited to offer special attendance incentives throughout the week. Please see the attached flyer for more details.

📊 Attendance Matters – Let’s Finish Strong!

This week, our schoolwide attendance decreased to 61%, 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!

Proud to serve our amazing school community! 💛

Students participated in a hands-on recycling project designed to promote environmental awareness and creativity through the reuse of everyday materials. Prior to beginning their projects, the class engaged in a teacher-led discussion about the importance of recycling, reducing waste, and reusing items to help protect our environment. Key concepts such as conservation, sustainability, and responsible resource use were introduced in an age-appropriate manner.

Students were encouraged to collect recyclable materials from home and collaborate with family members, when appropriate, to create a unique project. Materials used included items such as cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, paper towel rolls, containers, and other reusable household items.

A huge thank you to Gifted Child, Cogdell & Associates, and the William Trippley Foundation for their generous donation to Main Street Elementary including sensory headphones, wiggle boards, chair bands, and so many other sensory essentials.

With so many incredible people behind this effort, our scholars will feel the impact every single day. #AutismAwarenessMonth

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!

This training helps families support their children in recognizing and managing anger, frustration, and intense feelings before those emotions lead to meltdowns or behavioral outbursts. Participants will learn simple, practical strategies to teach self-regulation skills, create calming routines, and build emotional awareness at home. This session focuses on positive, proactive tools that strengthen resilience, improve communication, and help children feel more confident and in control, even during challenging moments.
