Pleasant Grove Elementary Weekly Updates
Week of May 22, 2023
Tomorrow, Monday, May 22 we will have our Title One School Leadership meeting to discuss our PGE Title One contract, Parent Survey, and changes for next school year. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. The meeting will be held in the media center from 4:30-5:30 pm.
Parents mark your calendars for our EOY testing dates; which you can find under the weekly updates on the website. Our 2023 EOY testing season will begin this Friday, May 26 with our 3rd grade students.
Kindergarten and 5th-grade parents, the moving-up ceremonies will be held on June 7:
Kindergarten will begin at 8:30 am
5th grade beginning at 10:30 am
As we know that this is a family event, I do want to stress that parking and seating are limited; please be mindful of who you invite from your families and consider carpooling.
Parents, as we are coming close to the end of the school year, temperatures are rising and so are behavior issues. Please take a moment to speak with your child about expectations and how it is important to let someone know when they are feeling frustrated and upset.
Parents, if you know of any families needing to register a new kindergartener; please direct them to the PGE or ABSS website or have them contact our data manager, April Foster.
We are excited to announce our school's Facebook page! Parents please follow us and see the fantastic things about our school!

Please continue to speak with your child about our PGE bus expectations; I am still receiving a lot of bus misbehavior referrals: PGE Bus Rules and Expectations
Mark your calendars!

Testing Prep Tips for Parents 
Make sure your child gets plenty of rest the night before the test.
On the morning of the test, your child needs to get up in plenty of time so he/she won't feel rushed.
Feed your child a good breakfast. Research shows that children do better on tests if they have had a good breakfast. Or make sure your child arrives at school on time to have breakfast at school. (Breakfast will end promptly at 8:00 am on testing days)
Do as much as you can to make your child feel comfortable. Try not to say things to make him/her feel more nervous.
Reassure your child that no matter the outcome of the test you will still love him/her. Encourage them to simply do their best.
Take an active role in your child's education throughout the school year. Let your child know you are interested in his/her learning by taking part in the entire process.
When the scores are sent to you, talk to your child's teacher and/or principal. This will help you to understand them more clearly.
Give your child praise even if he or she didn't do well on the test.
We Are the Wise Owls and We Soar to Greatness!
