June 4th Greetings, Students and Families of Philomath Elementary School: I am happy to report that I had my first Zoom session, facilitated by a very capable 5th grader, on the intricacies of the Rubik's Cube! I plan to schedule the follow-up for early next week. I will get this! I would like to begin by thanking you for your words of encouragement and support during this time if distance learning. Your kindness, patience, and partnership have been appreciated as we have all worked to support our learners. This Friday, June 5th, we will have no new school packets to be picked up. Teachers have communicated their information about final assignments and/or online sessions. We do have some school supplies and other items that have not yet been picked up. Tables will be set up in the vestibule, just inside the front door, from 8:00am-6:00pm tomorrow (06/05). You are welcome to come by to pick up remaining items and/or drop off completed school work. We are completing planning for Thursday, June 11th, the last day of school for the 2019-2020 school year. All students and families will have the opportunity to drive through the parking lot to return any school items (Chromebooks, Text Books, Library Books, Class Assignments, etc…) and/or receive some special goodies. Special goodies include the following: ➢ Year-End Recognition Certificates for our 5th Grade Students; ➢ May Character Trait and Growth Mindset Awards; ➢ Surprise Trinkets: and ➢ Applause and Good Wishes from PES Staff Members! We will be available from 8:00am-3:00pm on that day. We hope you will be able to join us! Please plan to enter the lot through from 16th Street and exit onto Applegate. Do not worry if you are not able to come by the school on June 11th. The school office will be open for returns and pick-ups through Friday, June 19th. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with questions.
