Hello Payne Family,

We hope you are having a relaxing summer and getting ready for the upcoming holiday.  In an effort to keep you informed of upcoming events and preparation for the new school year, please see a few brief announcements below:

Summer Soiree’: Payne will be hosting a Summer Soiree on Friday July 19th at 5:30 pm.  We will have food, fun and there will be time to get to know Payne staff and play on the wonderful playground.  We will also be accepting enrollment packets.

 

Mailing: Teacher Assignment, Summer Reading and Teacher Welcome Letters will be sent home next week.   Please look out for these in the mail.

 

ECE Play dates:  We two ECE Playdates.  The First one is 7/10/2019 from 12pm-2pm and the other is 8/13/2019 6-7:30pm on the small playground.

 

Parent Engagement: Payne has a keen focus on increasing parent engagement for the school year 2019-20.  The mission of Payne Elementary School’s commitment to parent engagement is to support overall student achievement by empowering families to become proactive in their children’s education on a continuous basis. The goals are to increase parental participation in student academics and learning activities, support learning at home, and strengthen the home school connection.  A survey with sign up information for clubs and events will be coming out this month through email.

 

Enrollment: If you have not enrolled for 2019-20, slots for four grade levels are already full!  Please make sure to claim your spot.  Enrollment is taken daily but we will have a Saturday event right before school begins.  If your child is not enrolled, you will be unable to enroll in after school.
