Mrs Tapper's 2nd grade class learned about I PICK choices and good fit books. The students created hands as a tool to help them decide whether or not a book is a good fit!
In Mrs. Thorpe's 2nd grade class, students were able to "adopt" reading buddies. They know that the best way to care for their animal is to read to them!
Fall Student Count Day is Wednesday, October 7th!
If your child is well, it is important that they are in attendance on this day.
*Count Day is when all public schools in Michigan tally the number of students attending their schools.
*Count information is critical to districts, because each student translates into state funding.
Mrs. Albertson's kindergarten class reviewed the letter M recognition and sound by making a list of words that begin with M and by sorting M & M's by color. They wrote the number to match the amount. When the students finished their work, they enjoyed the colorful treats!
Mrs. Shugg's 2nd grade class created land formations today. Next week the class will learn about erosion!
All PPPS students can eat breakfast and lunch for FREE through the end of the calendar year!
Please call the attendance line or the office if your student will be absent for any reason. If you sent an email to your child's teacher, you will still need to let the office know of any illness or absence from school. If your child is absent for an appointment, please bring in a letter showing your student was at the appointment. The appointment letter can be faxed or emailed to our office or sent to school with your student.

Your child will come home with a black lanyard today! The purpose of this lanyard is for attaching a clean face mask the night before school, so it is ready for the next day.
Please remember to label all of your child's belongings, especially their backpacks. It is also helpful to relay any daily pick up changes by 2pm on full days, and 11:45am on half days. This is especially important if you do not receive a response from emails/messages sent to the teacher.
