5th Grade ROCKSTARs!

All Field Trip paperwork is due back by Friday, April 26th. We will need to order T-shirts ASAP to make sure they are here in time for our trip!

Thank you!

Parents/Families/Guardians,

Please make sure to return your envelope of PSSA note cards of encouragement ASAP! These are very important and we want to make sure that we have them for each student before the assessments begin! Our first ELA PSSA is on Monday, April 15th!

Below you will find a link to a sign-up genius where you can sign-up to provide snacks for our ELA PSSAs.

ELA PSSA Snack Sign Up

If we need additional snacks for the Math PSSA, we will send out an additional sign-up.

Tomorrow students may participate in a Beach School Spirit Day by wearing beach hats, capris, shorts, etc. Bathing suits are not permitted.  
Lunch will be eaten on beach towels on the floor, so be sure to bring along your beach towel. Shorts must be fingertip length. Sunglasses may be worn at lunch and recesses only.    Participation is optional.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the all-school field trip scheduled for April 3, 2019 has been moved from The Ware Center in downtown Lancaster TO The Winter Center at Millersville University.

If you have returned a permission slip that does NOT permit your child to attend, I hope that you would reconsider your child’s participating in this opportunity. If another permission slip is needed, please contact the school office at 717-872-9530.

We are STILL planning to have our regular spelling and vocab quiz on Friday. We made the students aware of this on Tuesday when there was the threat of severe weather and possible cancellation for Wednesday. We took last week of due to the short week, but need to make sure we stay on track this week. Please make sure students are practicing their spelling words and vocab words for this week. There are plenty of opportunities (including on our 5th grade Moodle page) to study!

Both 5th grade classrooms are in need of TISSUES and DISINFECTANT WIPES. 

With the sickness and colds that have been bouncing back and forth between the students, our “germ supplies” have been depleted!

Thank you for your willingness to help out!

The Chapter 9 Math test has been moved to Friday due to our missed days and late starts. Thank you for your understanding!

If you are interested in having your name entered as a possible Chaperone for the Washington DC trip on May 29th, the YELLOW FORM that was sent home in report card envelopes is due back on FRIDAY, FEB. 8th! We will not accept forms after this date.

Kids at Work Day is on Friday, February 22, 2019!

As a way to promote career exploration and awareness with our elementary students, the Penn Manor elementary schools are planning a special day across the district.

On Friday, February 22, students are invited to wear clothing that represents careers they may be interested in exploring as an adult.

Our hope is that Kids at Work Day is a great way to start conversations at home and at school about different types of careers, why someone chooses a career, and what kind of training/schooling is needed to get started in a particular career.

Sincerely,

The Elementary School Counselors
