Hello Polenta Family,
It is hard to believe we are at the end of the first quarter for the year!!! While we have certainly had a few weather obstacles along the way, it has been a great start to the school year. As we move in to the second quarter, I am excited about the great things going on here at Polenta Elementary.
Thank you so much for the out pouring of support for our read-a-thon!!! It is such an honor to serve in a community that is so willing to give back. As a result the PTA is able to provide technology for our classrooms and swings for our playground.
We also had a fabulous time at our Back To School Dance!!! We had lots of dancing, food, and music for this event. This was a great success and we look forward to our Valentine's Day Ball in February.
Additionally, Polenta is proud to have the opportunity to participate in the first ever Cleveland Proud Day, held at Cleveland High School on Saturday, November 3rd from 10am-1pm. Polenta will be represented by a chorus performance and art display. This is a great community event that we are honored to be a part of.
Finally, student-led conferences will be held for grades 3-5 on Thursday, November 8th from 5-7pm. This is an opportunity to review the work that your child has been involved in for the first nine weeks, as well as setting goals for the second quarter. K-2 student-led conferences will be held on Tuesday, November 13th from 5-7pm. The K-2 conferences are a reschedule from the original date of November 6th. This date was changed to allow everyone the time to get out a vote on election day!
Please be sure to frequently check our website for information and upcoming school events. You can also follow our Twitter and Facebook pages for school happenings.
Thank you for allowing us to serve your children each and every day!! Happy Fall Everyone!!
Educationally Yours,
Kristina Benson
