Puster Families,
It looks like we are in for a shift in the weather. Tomorrow starts out warm and gets cold by the afternoon. Maybe fall is really here?? That said, we are sure to see an increase in jackets in our Lost and Found. Please add your child’s name inside coats and jackets so we can easily return them. View our current Lost and Found here. If you see something that’s yours, please notify [email protected] so we can get it returned.
Next week is Red Ribbon Week as well as our annual ACO coin drive. Please take a moment to view the details in Mr. Smith’s message below. Additionally, our PTO will be hosting our very first Drive-Through Ice Cream Social on Thursday evening! You can find additional details in the PTO News below. Add to all of that fall weather, Halloween and a full moon and it is bound to be an exciting week at Puster!
Have a great weekend!
Puster Proud,
Holly

At Puster, we know EVERY staff member goes above and beyond, though we may not always hear about it. Who are our unsung heroes? Has a Puster teacher or staff member gone above and beyond for your child/family? We want to hear about it! Parents, community members, staff members and students are welcome to share by clicking the link above.
This week we'd like to recognize the following staff members:
|
|
Saydee Bailey, PE Coach: Coach Bailey always makes time on the weekends to see the kids play sports. She has been to three games this year! Two for the second grade boys football and one for 4th grade soccer. She cheers them on and asks every week what time their games are!
I am blown away by Coach Bailey’s love for our kids. She comes to so many of their games. THEY LOVE HER! What drives my child to go to school is knowing he will see her- he loves PE.
|
|
Caroline Dulemba: Mrs. Dulemba called me on a Sunday to talk to me about my child and where he is struggling. She was thoughtful and had a plan! And more importantly made me feel comfortable with the plan!

Learning with Your Librarian |
|
Hello Parents!
We have had a truly great week here at PES! This week our library lessons and they have been going so very well. It was a real joy to be able to get into classrooms and not only share lessons with the kids but to be able to get books into their hands. If your student is interested, there are some extension activities relating to our story this week that are posted in the library Seesaw.
For our next pick up day, students have the option to put a hold on a book via our Destiny Catalog system as well as request a librarian-selected book based on their interests. For books to be available for pick up they need to be requested prior to the Friday pick up day. Anything requested on or after the pick-up day will be prepared for the following week. Due to the fact that Mrs. Peabody and I will be in classrooms for most of the day, we have started placing the books in the front office on Friday mornings you can pick your books up there as well as return past books.
If you had requested a book via the form this week or last week, and you want an additional book next week, you will need to either resubmit the form or email me to let me know that you would like another book.
For more detailed information on how to complete these requests and to make sure there is a book available for you to pick up please review the following document.
Happy Reading,
Naomi Emory, L.M.S.

Athletic Ticket Sales for 2020-2021
There has been some confusion in regards to athletic ticket sales for this year. In the past all students and staff have been allowed in free to all athletic contests (with school ID). Due to UIL covid-19 attendance capacity limitation regulations we are forced to charge for entrance to all athletic contests for all staff and students. The tickets sales assist the athletic department in keeping with the capacity limitations required of UIL athletics. Thank you for your understanding and supporting LISD athletics. --
