Hello Later Elementary Families!
It has come to our attention that families have been receiving boxes of books in their mail this week from Scholastic Books.
As part of our commitment to literacy, Title I funds were used to set up a summer reading program for all students on the campus. Our intention was to have books delivered to all of our students at the beginning of summer to promote reading throughout the summer. Apparently, Scholastic had some delays, so they are just now delivering our book order to all of our families that were enrolled with us at the end of last year. The great news is that they are sending 10 books to every child instead of the 6 that we purchased. Scholastic is even sending books to stock classroom libraries in the extra rooms that we are using in both buildings!
These books are free to your children. Let's use them as a way to kick off an amazing school year. Thanks. We'll see you soon!
The following information provides an overview of what to expect at Paw Paw Later Elementary in regards to procedures, daily schedule, and expectations. Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Davison by email at Jeremy.Davison@ppps.org or by phone at (269)415-5400 if you have any questions.
Sir George is back, the popular character created by Paw Paw Social & Emotional Learning Teacher Ben Bowater, and this time he is helping students get ready for returning to school with health and safety in mind.
This fun, informative video will help your child think about and visualize social distancing, hygiene, and good health and safety practices in school. Please share it with your child, and have conversations about it as a family so your child is ready to return to school like Paw Paw's favorite knight in shining armor, Sir George.

Later Elementary Families:
Our yearbooks have finally arrived.
We will have them available for any family that ordered one with their child's picture package the week of August 3rd.
Office hours will be Monday through Friday from 9:00-3:00. We will stay open until 6:30 on Wednesday, August 5th for those that are not able to stop by during the day.
We apologize for not having them available next week as we are currently re-configuring classrooms in preparation for the school year.
Our Summer Feeding Program has started. Don't miss out on a great opportunity for your family. Meals will be available at the high school or at the Early Elementary from 10am to 12pm on Monday through Thursday until August 13th. Both sites are "Park/walk up & order." Please be courteous by following the required CDC guidelines for a required mask and following social distancing.
Last night was our 5th Grade Graduation Drive-In Event. The weather wouldn't cooperate, so we couldn't show the video presentation. Overall, it was a huge success, because our 5th grade family had a lot of fun, created some lasting memories, and we ended the year together. Thank you to all of our 5th grade teachers, our PPLE staff volunteers, the Elementary Campus PTO, as well as Mr. McNitt and Mr. Rodriguezfor taking pictures. Congratulations 5th grade and welcome to Middle School!
