Good evening, Penderlea Families.
Thank you for an amazing first week! We hope that your student(s) enjoyed meeting their teacher and new classmates.
Please remember that only parents of students in Kindergarten will be allowed to walk their students to class this week (July 25th-July 29th). Please drop students off in the car line. Please do not enter on the side of the cafeteria as this is the entrance for staff parking and bus drop off. Thank you for your help in making the drop off process smooth for all families.
Kindergarten parents. On Monday, July 25th beginning at 7:45 am in the cafeteria, we would like to invite you to a gathering for Kindergarten parents only. This is to provide you an opportunity to have questions you may have answered in regards to car line drop off and pick up procedures, buses, after school care, or Penderlea in general. Please note that your child’s teacher will not be in attendance as they will be teaching your student. These are questions for administration, PTO, and Title 1. This meeting is not mandatory for you to attend. Light refreshments will be provided.
Bus Riders: Please be at the bus stop 15 minutes before the scheduled pick up time. Please allow your bus driver a 15 minute window before and a 15 minute window after the scheduled pick up time. If you need to speak with anyone in regards to buses, please reach out to Ms. Fuller.
Please remember that students are now required to pay for breakfast and lunch. Parents will get bills for unpaid fees. These fees will follow students all the way to high school and can jeopardize participation in high school activities. The prices are as follows:
Breakfast:
Full Price-$1.45
Reduced Price-$0.30

Only one application needs to be completed per family. Paper copies are available in both English and Spanish. Please contact your students' homeroom teacher if you need a paper copy.
Mobile Dental Clinic will be here on Monday and families should look for forms that will be coming home with students this week about the Mobile Dental Clinic. The mobile clinic will only be here for another 2 weeks. If you want your student(s) to participate please turn them in asap.
Our Beta Club will meet this Wednesday, July 27th directly after car lane. We are asking that each Beta member have at least 1 parent or guardian attend the meeting either in-person or virtually. It should only last about 30 minutes. There will be a google meet link posted in ClassDojo. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Finn, Mrs. Kolb, or Mr. David.
