Dear PTE Parents,
It is with great pleasure that we welcome the fall! I love this time of year, and I was so excited to kick it off with the Fall Tailgate last week. What a great turn out we had! It was so awesome to look across the parking lot, playground, and soccer field and see so many PTE students, alumni, and families conversing and enjoying each other’s company. We have an awesome PTE family, and I’m so appreciative of what each of you bring to our school. We are ALL lucky to be PTE HAWKS!
One of the important events we look forward to in the fall is Parent Teacher Conferences. Our Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, November 2nd (afternoon and evening) and Friday, November 3rd (morning). There will be no ESE at PTE on these days. Parents will meet with their child’s teacher at school. Please make sure you watch for the email notification on October 16th to sign up for your conference. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher.
Just want to thank you again for all of your hard work with our PTE fundraiser, Race to Prairie Trace! We exceeded our goal, and Mrs. Browne and I LOVED turning into human sundaes at our school convocation. I think the kids loved it too! We appreciate your support for our PTO, staff and students!
Please review the information in the Hawks Herald regarding the Referendum which will be on the ballot in November. If you have any questions regarding the Referendum, please feel free to contact me.
Carmel Clay Schools has a Parent Safety Academy coming up on October 24th and 25th. If you are interested in this opportunity, there is a link for parent registration available online here: https://www.ccs.k12.in.us/services/student-services/pssa.
I hope that everyone has an enjoyable Fall Break! I can’t wait to return and see the progress that students continue to make each day. Remember to read each day over break with your child and practice those math facts!
Sincerely,
Kim Piper
Principal
