Computer Lab Update From Teacher Val
   
The computer lab is humming these days with Open House around the corner.  The Kinder classes continue to sharpen their Pixie skills, the grade 1 students are working on their All About Me project and the grade 2 students are typing and illustrating about such things as personal flags, fossils and famous women in history. The grade 3 students have started to work on individual PowerPoint projects along with practicing their Logo programming.

Dear Pali Families,

Well it is that time of year again - CST testing starts Monday. Please make sure your 2nd-5th graders arrive at school on time, have a healthy breakfast and a good night's sleep. 

We encourage you to take the time to read the Principal's Message this week as there is a lot of important information about an easy new way to excuse absences - excusedabsence@palielementary.org, our Pennies for Patients, Spring Music Concerts, Ice Cream Social, Open House and More.

Governing Council is Thursday at 2pm.  All are welcome to come hear about what is going on at our school! 
 
Sincerely,
Your PEP Co-Chairs
Keri Kraft, Lindsay Hubbard and Daphne Gronich
