  • June 30: Last Day to Purchase “1st Day School Supplies”

Fundraisers

It’s time! Get your school supplies your student(s) need – the exact items – delivered to class on day 1. Get the “must-have” list DONE in a few clicks and support the school at the same time. Sales close June 30 so buy now and cross this off your list! Kindergarten parents that are new to 1st Day School Supplies – this is a great way to ensure you have all the right school supplies ready for your entering kindergartener on the first day of school! Your teacher will have instructions for you on what to do with your box (unpack it, leave it for them to unpack, etc.) at the Sneak A Peak right before school starts.

SAVE THE DATE!

Join your cluster community for a kick off to the 25-26 school year!
More details to follow closer to the date, but this is a great opportunity to learn more about the schools in our cluster and enjoy our cluster community.

General Announcements

The 2025 Summer Reading Challenge is back!
Dr. Young and Ms. Stuart are challenging all Percy Priest students (including rising kindergartners and families) to READ 100 BOOKS and SPEND 100 HOURS OUTSIDE! This optional challenge is a great way to encourage summer reading and independence and prevent the “summer slide”. Please see your child’s Friday folder this week for the challenge card. Write the title of each book read (every 50 pages of a chapter book =1 book) and color a leaf for each hour spent outside. Your child will then turn in the challenge card at the beginning of new school year and receive a prize!
Happy Summer Reading!!

Are you starting to think about Standard School Attire (SSA) for this school year?
Good news! The ROAR Store will be at Meet The Teacher (more details to come on date and time) this year selling SSA approved t-shirts, polos, skorts, shorts, polo dresses, and more. Not only are the ROAR store items so very nice and high quality, but it’s a great way to support the school as well. Here’s a good link for more details around SSA.

MNPS Kindergarten Registration

It’s still not too late to register for kindergarten! If you or someone you know has an incoming kindergartner, please encourage them to complete registration as early as possible.  For information regarding enrollment requirements, please visit this site.
