A NOTE FROM NILS

We hope you all had a great spring break!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at our Title I Family Night STEAM Safari on Monday. Come join us for some fun take-home learning activities, technology displays, science demonstrations from high school science students, inflatables, tower building, marble runs, popcorn and MORE!

The annual Title I Parent Survey will be sent out soon. We truly appreciate your feedback and will use it to make Pray-Woodman a great place for kids to learn.

Talent Show tryouts are also coming up. Watch for more information on that.

Our third and fourth graders will be taking state assessments over the next two weeks. They have been working hard on the math and reading standards, and are ready to demonstrate what they have learned.

Happy Spring!

CATCHING UP WITH CALLIE
Hi Pride Families,

Thank you so much for your continued support with the parent pick-up and drop-off procedures. It is working like a well-oiled machine, for the most part. I would like to address a few concerns and give you some exciting updates. If you arrive early, please try and leave your vehicle running. We have had several cars with dead batteries, this causes some problems, as you can imagine. Another issue I would like to discuss is dogs in cars. I am a dog lover and bring mine with me to a lot of places. That being said, when we are scanning cars, we would really appreciate it if your car windows could be rolled up when dogs are in the car. Sometimes when we approach their people, the dogs can get a little bit grumpy.

With this crazy weather, I would also like to ask that you continue to make sure you pull all the way forward. If it is very cold or wet, we do keep your children inside. They don’t wait outside long, but the adults do. If you don’t pull all the way forward the procedure takes a lot longer and the adults get wetter and colder. We would very much appreciate it if you would continue to follow all of the procedures.

We did get some exciting news that they are adding a long access road from behind the MPAAC (Maize Performing Arts and Aquatics Center) connecting through the back of Complete High School that will be our new parent pick-up lane (no more waiting on the street). We are hoping this will be completed by the beginning of next school year.
