Peter Woodbury School- A Place Where People Care!

June 5, 2020

Dear PWS Families,

It is hard to believe that this is the last blog post for the school year!  We cried yesterday thinking about the fact that we did not officially get to say good-bye to the students and had to have a virtual staff meeting to say good-bye to the staff.  If you are not aware the following staff members will be leaving PWS next school year;  Angie Wyand-First Grade Teacher, Colleen Lang-Second Grade Teacher, Claire Norfolk-Fourth Grade Teacher, Keeschia FrazierSpecial Education Teacher grade 4.  We wish them all success in their future.  

We wish you all a wonderful summer!  May it be filled with happiness and adventure!

One last video to share!

Take Care,

Mrs. Daley, Principal
Mr. Mitchell, Assistant Principal (Soon to be Principal!!!)

Repeated News & Messages

Quarter 4 Report Cards

As a reminder… Governor Sununu recommended schools report a Pass/Fail reporting system. Bedford does not use letter grades at the elementary schools, but we will make the adjustments described below.
Based on participation in the subjects of reading and mathematics, please expect your child's fourth-quarter progress to be either "Meeting District Expectations" or "Meeting Some District Expectations.”  For those rare instances when students did not participate in remote learning, they may receive “Not Meeting District Expectations.”  This information will be provided in the comment section of the report card.  Since the entire fourth quarter instruction has been under the conditions of Remote Learning, it is more difficult to provide a four-point reporting system as we had in the first three quarters of the year. Your child will also have a comment section from the teacher providing more detail. 
Integrated Arts will also provide progress on the card (grades 3 & 4) with "Good" and "Satisfactory" in the area of participation. For those rare instances when students did not participate in remote learning, they may receive “Needs Improvement.” 

A Message Regarding Camp Witzel

Jane O'Brien, Recreation Manager said this is an incredible difficult decision to make, as Camp Witzel is the type of community activity that is important to the recreation department. However, in consideration of the safety of all participants (staff/campers), we are unable to properly support this summer program for the 2020 season due to the circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic and the news we received from the Bedford School District about the unavailability to use the school facility to host the program as it has in past years.  Families who have already registered and submitted payment will be given a full refund.
