  MESSAGE FROM DR. COAKLEY

Dear Parents and Caregivers,


We’re thrilled to share that our Panda Family Program is officially up and running! Students and their families met for the first time this week, and it was wonderful to see so many smiles and connections forming. Moving forward, we’ll gather once a month for a fun session full of learning, laughter, and community building.
Conferences will take place on November 4th and November 6th — a valuable opportunity to collaborate and support your child’s learning journey. Your participation helps strengthen the partnership between home and school, ensuring every student gets the best support possible. Both conference days will be early release days. Dismissal will be at 12:05 pm. If you still need to schedule a time, please sign up before 6:00 pm today or email your child’s teacher directly on or before the day before the suggested date and time. 

Dismissal Planning Forms:
If we don’t receive a form, your child will follow their regular Tuesday/Thursday dismissal plan.
It was such a treat to see so many families at the Fall Halloween Parade this morning! The joy on students’ faces as they showed off their costumes was absolutely priceless. Our art activity was also a hit — students loved having extra creative time to make something special!

The Fun Run has been Rescheduled! Mark your calendars — the Fun Run will now take place on November 7th from 10:00–10:45 AM. Don’t forget your sneakers and water bottle! Parents are warmly invited to cheer on our runners — just meet us on the blacktop near the parking lot.

We’re always happy to help! Please reach out if you have any questions or want to learn more.
Thanks for being such an amazing part of our Panda Family community! 🐼
Dr. Mary Coakley, Principal
