Boosterthon

We are so grateful to the PME families and students who participated in our annual fundraiser. We surpassed our goal. The support we receive from our school community is amazing each year. Thank you!

 

Staff Lunch- Chili-Cook Off

Thank you to the PTA for providing lunch for the staff today. You are amazing! We enjoyed taste-testing the various types of delicious chili dishes and voting. It was so much fun!

 

Panorama Family Survey

WCPSS will send you information on 4/8/24 to complete the annual Panorama Family Survey. Please consider taking the 8 minutes needed to complete the survey. The information you share is important for the PME School Improvement Plan. We use the feedback to better serve our students and families. The survey provides language options. 

 

Solar Eclipse: April 8th

We are excited about the solar eclipse event on Monday, April 8th. This is a great hands-on learning opportunity to engage students in science. Students will view the eclipse using approved eclipse glasses provided by PME and engage in a learning activity to understand the event.

 

If you prefer that your child not participate in the eclipse observation portion of the event, please complete the opt-out form and return it to your child’s teacher at school on Monday.  Parent-Opt-Out Form

 

Pre-K Application Event

The Wake Pre-K Collaborative Partners will host a community Pre-K application event on Saturday, April 6, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at The Early Learning Center, 5008 Memory Road, Raleigh. Pre-K is free for eligible families. The child must turn four by Aug. 31 and must reside in Wake County. Learn more. The April 6 event will provide families with support in completing the application. Staff will also be available to offer developmental and language screenings. 

 

Popsicle Party

We are encouraging all students to attend school daily for the remainder of the school year to experience all the fun activities and get the most academic learning to be ready for the next grade level. The grade level with the highest attendance, excluding excused absence and excused tardies, for each week beginning April 15th through May 17th will earn a popsicle treat. The classroom with the highest attendance will earn a special surprise. To qualify, students must be present all day and arrive before 8:30 am. We cannot wait to see our daily attendance improve!

 

NC Cougar School Night

Are you looking for a fun family night out with other PME families? Then join us on Saturday, May 4th, at the NCFC NC Courage game for Star Wars Night. Discounted tickets are available for PME families.  Please see the discounted ticket link below to purchase tickets for the match:  Partnership Elementary School Night (fevo-enterprise.com)

 

PTA Service Project: Clothing Donations April 15-26th

We will begin collecting donations after Boosterthon. New or gently used clothing items for all ages (infant, youth, and adult sizes) are needed. Thank you!

Please join us on Saturday, April 13th, anytime or the whole time between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. to beautify our grounds. Parents and students are welcome. We appreciate your help in making our school a better place.
