PCPS is pleased to announce that Summer Academic Academies will be held again this year. Students will be invited to attend later this spring by individual schools. Please be watching for more information posted and/or brought home from school by your child.

This year English Learner Night focused on cultural arts. Students learned about Frida Kahlo and created their own self portraits. We did a unit on “The Best Part of Me” where they chose what they liked best about themselves and wrote about it. For their family connect project they picked a famous artist from their home countries and did projects that were displayed. This year we had several teachers join us and our middle school Spanish teacher had her students create projects to display as well. We hope to continue to grow this event and have more of our families participate. Este año la Noche de Estudiantes de Inglés se centró en las artes culturales. Los estudiantes aprendieron sobre Frida Kahlo y crearon sus propios autorretratos. Hicimos una unidad sobre “The Best Part of Me” donde eligieron lo que más les gustaba de ellos mismos y escribieron sobre ello. Para su proyecto de conexión familiar eligieron a un artista famoso de sus países de origen e hicieron proyectos que se exhibieron. Este año tuvimos varios maestros que se unieron a nosotros y nuestra maestra de español de la escuela secundaria hizo que sus alumnos crearan proyectos para exhibir también. Esperamos seguir haciendo crecer este evento y que más familias nuestras participen.

Mark your calendar and join the fun!

Dear Families, I am writing to inform you that your child will take the state assessments soon. As per the guidelines set by the Virginia Board of Education, elementary and middle school students in grades three through eight (excluding eighth-grade writing test) are eligible for expedited retakes in case they fail a Standards of Learning (SOL) test by a narrow margin (scoring between 375-399). This means that your child can retake the test before the end of the school year if they fall into this category. You should have received a letter about expedited retakes that was sent home this week. Please note that the form needs to be submitted by April 30th. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
