Pennell Elementary Families!
The students and staff adjusted well to coming back to school after the long winter break. Now we eagerly anticipate an inclement weather call for tomorrow morning . It is indeed a very exciting time!
Please note: Although devices and packets were sent home as precaution, the first two inclement weather days off will have no instruction, and will be enjoyed as traditional snow days. Only after we have used 2 of these days will we then need to pivot to flexible instruction days (online learning) to ensure we will not need to make up instructional time in the spring or summer months.
Please take a few minutes to review this newsletter. Although I just sent a similar communication last Wednesday evening, there are some changes and additions throughout. Most importantly, if we have any days off due to inclement weather, our letter day schedule will not change or adjust; it will remain constant.

Seasonal Clothing Reminder:
As we embrace the joys of winter, we want to ensure that your children can fully enjoy their 25 minutes of recess each day. With this in mind, we kindly remind you to send them to school dressed in appropriate winter attire, including warm jackets, gloves, hats, and scarves. This small effort will not only keep them comfortable but also enhance their experience of fresh air and physical activity
during these chilly months. We appreciate your partnership in promoting your children's health and happiness during winter.
