Dear PWS Families,
This morning's weather seems like the perfect way to remind everyone that Winter is coming. As you all know, Winter in New Hampshire can be quite the unpredictable event. It is always our intent to get the students out to recess as best we can. The students will go out to recess if the temperature is above 20 degrees. Please plan and dress the children accordingly. With that said, we often experience major temperature shifts throughout the day, so please do your best to provide the options they may need so that they can go out comfortably and enjoy the fresh air.
Student report cards are now available on the Parent Portal. You can log on and see your child's report card for the first quarter. If you need directions on how to log onto the portal please click HERE.
We often get questions about absences and tardies. Mrs. Daley has recorded a video to help answer some of those questions. Please click HERE to see the video.
Finally, we ended our day today with a moving Veterans Day assembly. We thank the many Veterans who were able to join us and be an example for our students. In honor of this holiday, the students dismissed today in silence to remember those that served and serve for us. We thank and honor all the Veterans that are in one way or another a part of Peter Woodbury School.
Have a Great Weekend,
Cheryl Daley, Principal
Dan Mitchell, Assistant Principal
