Princeton Elementary School

Our 3-5 students have completed the reading and math EOGs!

Next week is another busy week at PES. We have awards for pre-K through 2nd grade and the Science EOG for 5th grade.

Good evening, Princeton Elementary School Families. End of Grade testing starts tomorrow for students in Grades 3-5. Please make sure your student gets a good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast. School breakfast is currently free for all students. Please make sure your student is present and on time for school. Students perform better when they are able to test with their class and not in a make-up testing session. Students who arrive after the test has started will need to attend a make-up testing session. Scores will be shared with parents on Thursday, May 30 after all testing is complete. Our students and teachers have worked hard to prepare, and we know they are ready to do their best. We appreciate your support, and we look forward to celebrating our students’ growth! Have a great night, Bulldogs!

End of grade testing starts for our 3rd, 4th and 5th graders next week, so as a school we want to encourage and support our Bulldogs with a few spirit days. #peswheregreatthingsgrow We will start this Thursday with COOL day where we will wear shades and blue to show we are calm, cool and collected for testing.

Attention 4th and 2nd grade families. Due to the rain we will reschedule field day for these students. The make up day will be Friday, May 31.

Are you a Level 2 volunteer? Are you available to volunteer on Friday?? We would love to have some more parents to help with lunch supervision so our teachers can enjoy their Teacher Appreciation Week Luncheon. Please call the front office if you are available and can help. Lunches run from 10:45-1:15. Thank you!

Last night, JCPS celebrated the 2024 Leading with the Heart recipients!💝 The event, inspired by Mike Krzyzewski’s book, “Leading with the Heart,” recognizes those staff members throughout the school system that demonstrate leadership, compassion, and heart on a daily basis. One person from every school as well as central services was nominated by their peers, because of their unwavering commitment and dedication to their role. We honor the 53 amazing members of the JCPS family for their work that clearly does not go unnoticed! Thank you!✨ Stay tuned for an event recap video... #ILeadWithMyHeart
