End of the Year

Well, we have finished yet another school year together!   We just want to thank all of you for your hard work and commitment to student learning, especially the last 8 weeks.  It is not been an easy road, yet,  you were flexible, creative, kind, caring, hard working. . . and the list goes on and on.  Your commitment makes Perry Central a very special place to learn.  

This really isn't the end, but a pause until we see each other again in August.  Please take these few weeks to rest, reflect, spend time with your family!  Next August could prove to be an interesting one - but we will get through it together!  

Have a great last week of school!

Important Information: 

Panorama Survey - Teachers, on Monday you should receive a link from Lauren/or Panorama about a school survey.  We are asking that all teachers take the survey as it will ask you to reflect on your needs and suggestions you may have for next year.  We are not sure how school will look in the fall, so this information you share with us will help us!  Please let me know if you do not receive a link.  

Student Material Drop-off/Pick-Up - Next week, we have posted times for parents to drop off student chrome books, textbooks, calculators, library books in exchange for picking up student materials out of lockers.  All student materials will be bagged and located a the front of the school so one member of the family can make an exchange.  We will be gathering materials from student lockers and bagging it for them.  If you have materials in your classrooms that belong to students, please gather that material in a bag and leave it labeled in the high school office by May 26th.   Please let us know if you have any questions.  



ACE Training - As promised, we will have three hours of ACE training the last week of school.  Our High School Training will be on Tuesday, May 19th from 8:00 - 9:00 a.m. and then again (same day) from 12:00 - 1:00 and then Thursday, May 21st from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m.  It is really important that all of you are there.  Through the Project Aware Grant, Shelly has been able to be trained as a certified ACE instructor.  I think you will find the information she shares with you enlightening.  You should have received a zoom link from Shelly, please let us know if you didn't.   



Senior Parade - We have many items we need to finalize with the Class of 2020 as we come to the end of the school year.  As a way to celebrate this class, and also gather them together one more time to collect important materials (chrome books, calculators) we have decided to have a community Honor Parade for seniors.  On Sunday, May 24th at 2:00, students will start at Perry Central and be escorted by State Police up Highway 37 to Michael's Market and then start their drive back to Perry Central down old 37.  Parents and members of the community will be invited to park in their cars along the side of the road and wave their favorite senior on. 

      Teachers - if you would like to enjoy the parade, we would like to invite any of you who are interested to meet at Perry Central at 2:00 (please do not come much earlier - we are trying to really make sure we are socially distant).  After the student leave, we will line you up in the parking lot and let the students drive back through to wave at you.  Please remember it is important to bring along your masks!  We hope you can come - it should be a fun event!  Teachers can park up in the bus parking lot and if the weather is nice, we will have you get out of your car and line the parking lot in person. 

Student Touch Points -  (link attached) 

     Thank you to those of you who signed up to reach out to students in the month of June and July.  If anyone else would like to take a few students, the list is still open. 

     We are asking that you use any mode of communication you would like (email, text, phone calls, face to face (where possible) etc.) to check in with your student(s).  The goal of this project is to just work hard to get some type of response from them to make sure they are okay.  If you have concerns about students this summer, please reach out to administration or a counselor!  

      Thank you for helping our students feel like a special part of the Commodore Family!

Grade Book Meetings: Just a reminder that we have set up times to meet with each of you the last week of school to look over your grades and see if you have any questions/concerns.  I have attached the assigned times HERE.  If you need a different time, please let us know.
