Book Drive

We will be giving students books to take home and read over the summer break.  In order to have enough books for every student to take home, we will need some help from everyone in the community to donate books.  We are looking for gently used books for elementary ages students.  If you have books for children from the ages 5 to 11 that you would like to donate, you can drop them off in our office during the month of May.

End of Grade Testing

Third, fourth and fifth grade Students will be taking part in the EOG assessments on May 25th, May 26th, and June 1st and makeup sessions on May 30th, May 31st, and June 2nd.   Polenta is in need of volunteer proctors for upcoming End of Grade tests in  Reading, Math, and Science​. (Proctors assist a certified teacher in maintaining a quiet testing environment.)   You do not have to have a 3rd, 4th or 5th grader in order to assist but must be registered as a volunteer in order to proctor.

Teacher Appreciation Week

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 1 - 5.  PTA will be having a luncheon on May 3rd to show how much we appreciate the staff's commitment and hard work.   We ask that students show their appreciation that week by doing little things each day.

Stuff The Bus Food Drive

We will have our annual "Stuff the Bus" food drive April 29th.  Students can bring in can or box food items the week of April 24 to 28 for the event.  Our Student Council will collect the items and put them onto the bus Saturday, April 29th, from 10am to 2pm.  Items can also be able to dropped-off on the day of the event by driving through the Polenta Elementary parking lot.

Walk to School Event

Mark your calendar for April 21 for Walk to School Day!   On this day, our Special Olympics athletes will lead our event, as we walk to school. We hope that students and their families will meet staff at the C3 parking lot to walk to school. Meet between 8:00 - 8:15 am, so we can begin our walk promptly at 8:15 am. Let's show our support for our Special Olympics athletes with a crowd behind them as they lead us to the front of the building.

Report Cards

The third quarter report cards go home on April 17th.  Please be sure to review your child's report and sign the envelope to be returned.

Spring Break

Spring Break is the week of April 10th to 14th.   We hope everyone has a fun, safe week.  Students and staff return to Polenta April 17th.

Spring Pictures, April 6th

All students will be photographed on April 6th by Strawbridge photographers.  No need to send money on the day of the pictures.  Each student will receive a Spring Pictures Package that can be purchased or returned.
