Hello, Powell Families! 

 

Popsicles on the Playground – August 12th, 5:30–6:30 PM

Tomorrow we will kick off the new year with some sweet treats and outdoor fun! Join us from 5:30 to 6:30 PM for Popsicles on the Playground! It’s the perfect chance to reconnect with friends, old and new, and enjoy some summer fun on the Powell playground. We hope to see you there!

 

Kindergarten Staggered Entry Schedule 

What is Staggered Entry? During the first week of school, Kindergarten students will attend one full day of school in a small group environment. This will allow teachers time to assess social, physical, and emotional development, as well as basic literacy and math skills. Your student's schedule to attend depends on the first letter of their last name.

• Tuesday, August 26 (A-G)
• Wednesday, August 27 (H-R)
• Thursday, August 28 (S-Z)

All Kindergarten students will begin attending school daily beginning Tuesday, September 2nd.
