Greetings, Porterdale Elementary School Families,
We hope you are continuing to stay well and safe.
We wanted to remind you of some important information.
If you have paid for field trips or field day shirts, you will be receiving a refund by mail. If you have paid for a yearbook, your child will receive it at a later date, which will be announced.
If you have had a change of address from what is in Infinite Campus, you will need to email Carol Ann McGiboney at mcgiboney.carolann@newton.k12.ga.us with the following information:
Your Name
Child’s Name
Address
Phone number
The last day to turn in paper copies of work, or online work is today- May 15.
The last day of school is May 22. Your child’s final report card will be mailed to you.
On May 18th, 19th, and 20th, all school materials will need to be returned, including textbooks, library books, and technology devices. You will also be able to pick up any personal items left at school that were labeled with student names.
Schedule for student pick up of personal items and return of technology devices/other school items:
Monday, May 18 – 9:00 – 12:00
Tuesday, May 19 – 11:00 – 2:00
Wednesday, May 20- 3:00-6:00
This is a drive-through process. Pull through the car rider line and remain in your vehicle.
We look forward to seeing you during these times!
If you are not interested in having your child’s personal belongings returned, please email the teacher so that items can be discarded.
Also, afterschool registration for 2020-2021 is now open. There was a slight increase in tuition to $50 per week which is due to increased cost for our online system. The rate for each additional child will be $45 per week. The website to pre-register is https://newton.ce.eleyo.com/
Once you have registered in the system, your contract will remain pending until accepted by the site coordinator. Coordinators will accept contracts throughout May, June and July, after which you will receive a confirmation email. The program’s projected start date is August 10, 2020, pending COVID19 guidance from the Governor, CDC and district.
We sincerely appreciate your support during these unusual and unprecedented times.
Have a great weekend!
Clydia Newell
Principal
