“PANTHER STRONG” DAY

As we complete the end of the second marking period next week, let’s celebrate a half-year of in-person school! Has it been easy? No! We have all had to adjust to new protocols, new expectations, and many inconveniences. Is it worth it? Absolutely! How did we do it? By working together as a school community to protect one another from possible exposure to the COVID virus. You are all heroes for making sacrifices so that we can all be in school together.  We accomplished this because, as a community, we are “Panther Strong!” Let’s recognize our accomplishment with a special dress-down day on Monday, January 25 to wear our new “Plumstead Strong” t-shirts!

LOWER SCHOOL CALENDAR CHANGES

As we have navigated this school year with the many restrictions related to the Covid virus, we have had to make a number of adjustments to our school calendar.

Two changes to our spring calendar that you need to be aware of:

TerraNova Testing (grades 3 & 5) – We have moved our testing window to April 12 – 16. This is two weeks earlier than originally scheduled. It is important for students in those grades to be well rested and to be in school every morning on time. Please do not schedule any appointments, etc. as students may not be able to make up missed tests.

4th & 5th Grade Musical – We got a late start for auditions and rehearsals as we were waiting to see if it was realistic to schedule the musical. We have moved the date of our musical performance to Friday, April 30.
