Puster Elementary Principal Message
July 18, 2019
Puster Families,

After spending a couple of weeks as a river rat and a beach bum, I am totally ready to morph back into professional mode and jump into the 2019-2020 school year with both feet!

Over the next two weeks, our teachers will attend our annual Learning at Lovejoy professional development sessions. This is a valuable time for learning and collaboration that will drive much of the work we will do throughout the school year. It’s also a great opportunity for all of us to practice getting up early and living on a schedule again. :)

There were some issues logging into Biblionasium earlier this week. Those issues have been resolved...keep logging those minutes! This week's read aloud with Mrs. Haynes can be found here.  

Please note important upcoming dates below. If you know of a family who is new to Puster and may not yet have signed up for Puster emails, please help share the date of our New Student Orientation. 

I am almost giddy with the anticipation of seeing our teachers, families and kids again in the days ahead. I’ve missed you! 

Pride in Puster,
Holly
