Primrose Pandas are Respectful, Responsible and Safe |
Dear Primrose Families, With each new month, comes a focus on awareness and celebration. As you know in March we highlighted Women’s History Month, Irish Heritage Month and World Down Syndrome Day, to name a few. Just this week we took time to celebrate Paraprofessional Day and National School Librarian Day. We are fortunate to have so many dedicated staff members here. Their work with our students and staff is so important to our success and I am grateful for the connections that they make and support given. Attendance letters are being sent home today for students who have missed 10% or more of school this year. These are done periodically, as mandated by RIDE, to ensure that our records are accurate and to partner with families to provide support for children who are chronically absent. We understand that some absences are unavoidable due to illness or other circumstances and appreciate that you keep open communication with us when this occurs. It is important for all of our students to attend each day and be part of the learning because we know children learn best when they have consistent attendance. We look forward to seeing you all on Monday, April 17th. When we return from break we will be celebrating our wonderful volunteers throughout the district. If you plan to attend the breakfast on April 20th, please use the link below to RSVP. Our third graders will be participating in the RICAS for English Language Arts on Tuesday and Wednesday of that week. Third grade parents, if you have not yet sent in a note of encouragement, please do so on Monday or email them to me ASAP. We have received many but want to be sure we include our whole group of students. Best, Coleen Smith |

April 28 - Green Squad / Big Brothers Big Sisters of RI Clothing Drive! Mark your calendars, and save your Spring clean-out items! We will be collecting any clean, dry clothes and linens (any condition, size, style; if it can't be reused, it will be recycled). In preparation for our last few projects, we would love it if you could separate out the following items from your donation: any blue, yellow or white cloth / linens / clothing, and your old tie-dyed shirts from "Last Days" past. We have plans for these, and will collect them in a separate bin. Aside from the textiles we plan to use (and recycle later), Green Squad will be bagging the donated clothing in biodegradable cellulose bags-- please do NOT leave any regular plastic bags. |
PRIMROSE PTO PTO Website: Please take a quick moment to log into the PTO website and opt into the family directory at https://www.primrosehillpto.org/directory. With all they have planned, it is a great idea to visit this site weekly to get updates and see how you can participate in upcoming events. |
