Our attendance percentages are CLIMBING, and this week we reached our school-wide attendance goal of 95% or higher!
A huge THANK YOU to our students, families, and staff for making attendance a priority. Every day matters, and every day at school is another opportunity to learn, grow, lead, and GLOW! Let's keep the momentum going, EAGLES!

September is Attendance Awareness Month, and we're kicking off the fun with an attenDANCE challenge!
Each week during the month of September, the homeroom with the highest attendance in each grade level will earn a DANCE PARTY!
Every day at school is an opportunity to learn, grow, lead, and GLOW! Being here matters, Eagles! So let's show up, shine bright, and see which classes will dance their way to the top!
This week's homeroom winners were:
PreK - Mrs. Francis
Kindergarten - Mrs. Keever
1st Grade - Mrs. Flood
2nd Grade - Mrs. Grice
We can't wait to see more dance moves next Friday!
Students at PCP wore red, white, and blue today to recognize Patriots Day and participated in some activities to remember 9/11.
Our Eagles are GLOWING with great attendance! Today, our school attendance reached 97.23%. Can our Eagles help us reach 100% tomorrow for the 20th day of school?!
But wait, a fun event is coming our way! Will it be tomorrow? Will it be next week? It's going to be a great day that you will not want to miss! Let's keep on track with meeting our attendance goals!

Our Eagles in Mrs. Flood's class were putting their reading skills to work as they practiced identifying the characters and setting in their story today. Students were engaged in great conversations during Turn & Talk, shared predictions about what might happen next, and used inferencing skills to determine the setting. They even provided evidence from the story to explain the clues that helped them identify the characters!
We love seeing our Eagles thinking, talking, and learning together as they grow into confident readers!

We are excited to announce that BUS 23 is our BUS of the MONTH for August! Bus 23 earned this recognition by having the most Bus Leader Tickets turned in during August! Our Eagles were spotted being leaders on the bus by:
*Waiting safely at their bus stops
*Sitting safely in their seats and remaining seated until the bus stopped
*Staying out of the aisle
*Keeping items zipped safely inside their backpacks
We are so proud of our students for showing that LEADERSHIP doesn't stop when we leave the classroom or school building. A special shout-out to Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Taylor, Bus 23 drivers, for helping make safety, responsibility, and leadership a priority every day!
Keep leading, Eagles! Let's see which bus will GLOW next!!

September is Attendance Awareness Month, and at Pumpkin Center Primary, we know that EVERY DAY COUNTS!
Being at school each day gives our Eagles opportunities to learn, grow, lead, and GLOW! Regular attendance helps students build strong routines, strengthen friendships, develop confidence, and make the most of every learning opportunity.
Our attendance habits connect to the 7 Habits too!
Be Proactive - Be ready for school each day.
Begin with the End in Mind - Show up today and reach your goals tomorrow.
Put First Things First - Make school attendance a priority.
Think Win-Win & Synergize - When we're all here, we learn and grow together!
Families, thank you for your helping our Eagles build the habit of showing up, being ready, and giving their best each day. Together, we can make every school day count!

Apple-solutely Amazing Learning in Ms. Mocilan's class today! Our little Eagles learned about how apple trees grow, practiced their math skills by counting apple seeds, and put their taste buds to the test with red, yellow, and green apples. To top off the fun, students worked together to make their very own cinnamon apples!
Congratulations to Mrs. Costa, our August Staff Member of the Month! We are so thankful for the dedication, positivity, and care Mrs. Costa brings to Pumpkin Center Primary each day. Way to GLOW, Mrs. Costa! Thank you for making a difference for our Eagles and helping our school shine!

Our Eagles are off to a GLOWING start! We've had a great first two days of school! We had a wonderful turnout for Kindergarten orientation. Our Eagles have been hard at work learning what it means to be leaders: in the classroom, on the school bus, and throughout our school.
Our teachers have also been busy collaborating during PLCs, planning engaging learning experiences, and preparing for an amazing year of growth and learning. We can't wait to have all of our Eagles back in the building on Monday!
We can't wait to welcome our students and families back at Popsicles with the Principals! Join us Tuesday, August 4th, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

Good Afternoon Families!
This will be our last email for this school year! We are officially down to the last three and a half days of school! School will dismiss on Thursday, May 21st at 12:00. We previously had communicated 11:30, but have had further clarification from the District. Please know that both the bus routes and car rider line typically run ahead of schedule on the last day of school, so please be at your stop or in line earlier than you might normally be.
As my education journey takes me to a new school next year, I want to share with you what a gift Pumpkin Center Primary School has been to me. Fifteen years of my career have been spent teaching and leading in this building and it will always be a special place to me and my family. Thank you for affording me the privilege of serving your families and sharing many laughs, high-fives, hugs, and so many more memories with your students. They are the joy that fills these halls! I hope each of you has an amazing summer and I look forward to hearing from my colleagues here at PCPS how everyone is doing! My email will remain the same, so don't hesitate to reach out with updates about your children! I can't wait to see the great places they go and the amazing things they will do!
