Good evening, Shooting Star Families,

This is your Principal, Melissa Baird, sharing important information with you in our weekly updates for PGE.  First and foremost, congratulations to students who were “Caught Being a Star!”   Here is what is going on at PGE this week:

• Y-Reads will meet Monday through Thursday from 3:30pm-5:00pm.
• The Good News Club will meet on Thursday from 3:30pm-5:00pm.
• Second quarter begins Monday, October 13th. 

Thank you to our parent pick-up/drop-off families for adhering to our safety procedures at PGE!  I appreciate you!  Second quarter begins on Monday and we are encouraging our Shooting Stars to continue to follow STAR Expectations and always put forth their best effort(s).  I will share our 2nd quarter PBIS expectations with students on Monday.  PBIS is our Positive Behavior Incentive Program.  In order to participate in our 2nd quarter PBIS Celebration, beginning October 13th, students must have no more than two referrals and no OSS. I know our students can meet these PBIS expectations! 

Have an amazing week PGE Families and stay tuned for your next PGE Weekly Update on Sunday, October 19th. 

Sincerely,

Melissa Baird, Principal
