Hey Panda Family,
We are off to a great start to 2nd Quarter and we survived the full moon week! 😵 This week was filled with butterflies, field trips, and cooler weather. Thank you for being Champions for each other and our students. Have a wonderful weekend and get some well deserved rest! Thanks for all you do! 🐼
Here are the Weekly Wrap updates for this week:
New Updates
Picture Retakes: Picture retakes are on Monday, October 21 in the Media Center. Parents do not need to place an order ahead of time. A picture proof will be sent home in a couple of weeks with directions on how to order online. If any parents have questions about picture retakes, please have them contact the front office.
Monday, October 21: I will be off campus all day on Monday, October 21. Donnay and I are going away for the weekend. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to call/text me. Ms. Tiano will be here all day on Monday.
Panorama Teacher/Staff Survey: If you weren't at the staff meeting on Tuesday, please make sure you complete your Panorama Survey. Here are the links:
Afternoon Car Riders: I need your help! I have noticed an increasing number of "all calls" having to be made in the afternoon for car riders that are not down at the lot by the time their car arrives. I know this could happen for a variety of reasons, but please remind your car riders to watch the Google Doc for their name and to head straight to car riders when their name pops up (i.e. don't take a detour to the bathroom). Your help with this is greatly appreciated!
Picnic Shelter: Schedule for eating lunch under the new picnic shelter is coming! It will be in next week's Weekly Wrap!
School Values & Mission: Here is a link to the School Values & Mission presentation from the staff meeting this past week in case you would like to review Accountability with your students - PGE Mission & Values

This is an important message for ALL WS/FCS employees, including full or part-time enrolled, or enrolling employees, and 2024-2025 new hires who qualify for benefits in the coming year.
Open Enrollment in the State Health Plan will be conducted September 30th through October 25th.
The State Health Plan is transitioning from Blue Cross NC to Aetna beginning January 1, 2025.
During Open Enrollment, all active State Health Plan members will automatically be enrolled in the Base PPO Plan (70/30) unless they take action to enroll into the Enhanced PPO Plan (80/20). Members will need to complete the tobacco attestation online during Open Enrollment to reduce premiums . With the transition to Aetna, members will need to select a new Primary Care Provider (PCP) during Open Enrollment.

If you are not interested or are unable to help, you do not need to complete this form. We are currently working on a schedule, but this will be based on staff/volunteer availability. Thank you!

Student Pictures: Thank you to those homeroom teachers who have already turned in their student pictures to me. We have started hanging them up in our PLT Conference room 😊 As a reminder, we would like all homeroom teachers to take individual photos of your students and make two sets of copies. You will keep one set and decorate your door, hang their photos above their bookbag hook, etc. You will turn in the other set to me for the PLT Conference room. Photos of our students throughout the building make it feel more like home and a welcoming environment. We will reimburse you for your photos. Please just turn in the receipt to Mrs. Owens. Thanks so much for your help with this!
