Good Evening,

We have had an event filled opening to November here at Payne: PK Halloween parade; field trips, and parent-teacher conferences.  I hope your little one is having a great experience here at Payne.

5th Grade Math Challenge:

I visited 5th grade and took on a few students at 24 Challenge, to my delight they are getting better. Still not able to beat me, but better.

Make these 4 digits equal 24; you must use each digit and they can only be used once:

6, 5, 3, 1 = 24

8, 4, 4, 4 = 24

Election Day

We are anticipating large crowds on Election Day and seek to keep all students safe throughout the day. Please be sure to bring all students into the rear of the building. The front door will be used for voters. Students will not be allowed to use the front corridor.

Greetings All,

October is College Awareness Month. Please join us in conversations around college. Now is the time to instill the expectation.  In my career, I have had the opportunity to speak with many parents about how we are preparing students and expect them to continue their education beyond high school and even beyond the undergraduate years of college. Some have listened with hope and quiet respect, for some there is no doubt, but for some the probability is daunting and precludes the possibility. I believe all of our students can, will and must attend college our collective future depends on it.

As a school community we must ensure that we speak to each other and pass amongst each other the keys to access the various worlds in which we live.
