Welcome to PALS!
Hello Families! Welcome to a new year of PALS! I’m going to be contacting each family individually with this letter and to check in about your schedule, Once my new website is up, this letter will posted there as well.
If you just recently got an evaluation- We still need to review the assessment & have an initial ARD before your child can start, and your child will need to be enrolled as a student at Eanes Elementary. I will get in touch with each family individually about reviewing the assessment & setting up those ARD meetings, but you can be working on enrollment at https://www.eanesisd.net/parents/enrollment
Calendar- PALS will follow the school calendar. We will not meet on parent conference days and on early release days. Our last day will be Tuesday, May 18, 2021.
Pick-up /drop off time and place : Our hours this year will be 11:45-1:45. This aligns our dismissal time with PPCD classrooms, so it makes it a little easier to manage staffing and transportation. Car drop off & pick-up will be at our middle gate. We'll arrive at 11:40 & we’ll wait until 11:50 if people who may be running late. If you If you happen to be running later than that, you can bring your child through the front office and meet us in the classroom.
Our webpage for PALS is right here. I use our website in every session, and each book we read has a webpage with corresponding games, activities, printables (including the craft we produce), target words and grammatical forms. You are invited to use those resources in whatever way works for your family. If you have ideas for things I could add to those posts, please let me know
Please send me digital or hard-copy pictures of your child and family! This is really an “all year” request. When something fun and/or interesting happens in your child’s life, send me some relevant pictures & we’ll practice talking about that in class.
Family contact list: With your permission, I can make available basic contact information to facilitate playdates, etc. I’ll check with each family in the individual e-mails.
Backpack items: When coming to PALS, your child should bring:
Classroom supplies that I’m asking everyone to bring a
Donations requested, only if you happen to have some of these gently used items or things leftover from other events -:
Until later,
