Parents will still have access to our office during regular business hours, but there will be a lot of orange fencing toward the back of our school where contractors will be completing electrical upgrades, and laying the foundation for covered walkways. Other gigantic changes over the summer will be the retirements of our praiseworthy Pearl Ridge staff. Since they are not the type to boast about themselves, I wanted to reveal that they have supported Pearl Ridge children for decades…which definitely includes many of our current parents. Therefore, I hope that if you have time to share an appreciation with those who worked with your children…or even yourselves as PRE students. • • • • Susan Kelly, Preschool Teacher Loretta Nelson, Librarian Diane Okawa, Curriculum Coach Ellen Tica, Head Custodian Thank you for continuing to support our belief that we can successfully support every child if we work together. Steve Nakasato, Ed.D. The Proud Principal of Pearl Ridge Elementary SCHOOL MEAL ACCOUNTS - IMPORTANT REMINDERS! ● Please keep your child(ren’s) meal accounts updated and funded. ● Reminders of a LOW BALANCE (green notes) are sent out on the first school day of the week. ● LOAN NOTICES (pink notes) are sent out daily. You will receive these notes to inform you that your account currently has a NEGATIVE balance. You will also be notified of the loan by phone. ● If your child receives a LOAN from the School Meal Program please repay it promptly. All meal loans must be paid in CASH. ● Payments made to your child(ren’s) account after the 1st of May, must be made in CASH. No checks will be accepted after this date to avoid returned check problems. ● Loans will NOT be given for second meals (breakfast or lunch). 98-940 MOANALUA ROAD/AIEA, HAWAII 96701 TWITTER @PEARL_RIDGE HTTP://pearlrid.k12.hi.us VOLUME 23, ISSUE 10 MAY 2015 VP’s Corner Mrs. Audrey Ragragola For the SAFETY of our Children and others, please • leave the space in front of our administration of;ice doors clear for our two specialty buses for after school pick-‐ups. • use the marked crosswalks when walking. • Refrain from blocking driveways, sidewalks, and crosswalks when using our parking lots. • follow the NO LEFT TURN traf;ic signs when exiting onto Moanalua Road during drop-‐off and pick-‐up times (except buses). ST. TIMOTHY’S CHURCH has kindly asked that drivers NOT use their parking lot as a turn-‐around. This causes a problem for their Senior-‐citizen Day Care drop-‐offs and pick-‐ups. Please use Moanalua Loop instead. Student Safety Before and After School For safety, students should not arrive on campus without an adult before 7:30 am as there is no of/icial school supervision. If arriving before 7:30 am, have your child wait in front of the Administration Building. A safer alternative is to enroll in Early Morning Care from 6:00 am – 7:30 am with Foundation for Families. After school, if not using the school bus or attending the YMCA A+ After School program, students should wait for their ride home in front of the Administration Building. While the nearby park is an inviting place to wait for their ride home, there is no adult supervision. Recently, there have been a few reported accidents at the park resulting in student injuries. You may contact the of;ice at 305-‐9300 for information and an application for either Early Morning Care or YMCA A+ After School program service. Looking for Qualified People Mrs. Julie Bliss-Tyau, will be retiring from her position as Pearl Ridge Elementary’s upper grade (3rd – 6th) music teacher. Also, leaving to continue her studies is our upper grade physical education teacher, Ms. Rochelle Cariaga. PRE is looking for qualified individuals to replace both Mrs. Bliss-Tyau and Ms. Cariaga for next school year 2015 - 2016. If you have experience working with elementary-aged children, have a background in either music or PE, and interested in a part-time position here at PRE, please leave your resume and contact information with our front office staff. Mrs. Audrey Ragragola, Vice Principal, will contact you for an interview. 98-940 MOANALUA ROAD/AIEA, HAWAII 96701 TWITTER @PEARL_RIDGE HTTP://pearlrid.k12.hi.us VOLUME 23, ISSUE 10 MAY 2015 Parent Teacher Group (PTG) Greetings PRE ‘Ohana, Our PTG Board would like to once again, thank you for your support with our Zippy’s General Fundraiser.
