PES NEWS

8/15/2017

 
Dear Penacook Students and Families,                                          
Welcome Back! I hope that you had an amazing summer and carved out time to relax and recharge. The PES staff excitedly awaits the opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, and to make acquaintances with our new students on Tuesday, August 29, the first day of school for students. The paragraphs below will provide you with important information that you will need in the fall. On behalf of all of us at PES, it is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you back to school to begin the 2017-2018 school year.  
Family Communications
Penacook Elementary School values the importance of parent involvement and, and strives to maintain consistent lines of communication. We will continue the use of a parent and community email list for pertinent and timely communications. Our email blasts will include newsletters, school announcements, PTG event information and community news.  If you would like to be added to this list in order to receive these electronic communications, please email me at jmoore@mvsdpride.org. We also encourage you to follow us on Twitter @PenacookElem.
First Day of School Arrival
The first day of school for students is on Tuesday, August 29th. The official start of school is at 8:30am. Please deliver your child no earlier than 8:10am, and make sure that your child arrives by 8:25am every day to start the academic day on time.
 
The arrival procedure for the first day of school will be as follows:
  • Grade K will report to the library
  • Grade 1 & Grade 2 will report to the gymnasium
  • Grades 3-5 will line up outside the main entrance, where they will be greeted by their classroom teachers.
Parents and family members are welcomed to accompany their student to the gym or to the library, where teachers and staff members will greet them. The classes will line up and proceed to class at 8:35am. Parents are encouraged to say their goodbyes when the classes are dismissed to the classrooms. We understand and are sensitive to the fact that separation can be difficult for some students, however, we ask parents to say their goodbyes prior to them proceeding to class for safety reasons. Some circumstances will require parents to travel in the building. If this is the case, you will need to sign in to the office and receive a visitor’s badge. If you are unsure of your child’s classroom teacher, please call the school and we will confirm this information prior to the first day of school.
 
During the first day of school, teachers will practice the normal arrival procedure with students to prepare them for our regular routine, which will start on the 2nd day of school. Students who will eat breakfast at school, will report directly to the cafeteria beginning the second day of school. The normal arrival procedures are as follows:
  • Grade K students will report to library
  • Grades 1&3 will sit in assigned sections in the main hallway
  • Grades 2, 4 & 5 will line up in sections outside the main entrance
