#29 - MARCH 21, 2025
Dear PS Families,
This has been a fantastic week for our PS students! As part of Arts & Innovation Month, they attended a concert by Maria del Sol Peralta, where they had the chance to dance and sing along.
Additionally, today’s PD session allowed our PS staff to continue discussions on vertical alignment in Biliteracy, Math, Science, Specialists, and Social Emotional development. They also participated in sessions focused on innovation and building community.
Have a great week!
Paula
Next Week's PS Special Happenings
Next week will be full of special events! We will have grade-level awards assemblies, and due to the theater's capacity, only the parents of students receiving an award or performing will be able to attend (Scroll down to "Upcoming Events" to find specific dates). Looking ahead, in the next two weeks, our 2nd grade students will hold their innovation presentations for parents, showcasing their hard work and creativity. Finally, Friday is an OODC day and the end of Quarter III.
