From the Principal’s Desk

Dear Partin Families,

What a wonderful year we have had celebrating 25 Years of Partin Elementary! Thank you so much for

sharing in so many of our fun events this school year and for supporting our PTA and the many things

they do to enhance our school. When I walk by our covered pavilion, I am still in awe at how beautiful it

looks with the brick pavers. I have enjoyed eating lunch with the students who have purchased a brick

or one for their class. I know the pavilion will be enjoyed for many years to come thanks to your gener-

osity. We have another new addition at our school, so the next time you drive by take a look at the new

Partin Elementary sign on our marquee. Oftentimes, visitors would drive past the school, but now we

have a nice white sign to showcase our school name.

As we bring to a close another school year, I am so proud of our students and pleased with the growth

they have made academically. Our goal is always one year’s growth in one year’s time, and this could

not happen without the continued support of our faculty, staff, students, parents, and the community.

During the summer, I use the Skyward Parent Access and Schools Connect to send emails, so please

make sure we have your most current phone numbers and emails so you can continued to stay in-

formed over the summer. We will also use social media feeds such as Facebook, Twitter, and our

webpage to keep you in the loop. The front office will be open in the summer on Mondays-Thursdays

from 7:30am-4:00pm if you need anything. School will resume for our students on August 10th. Please

look at our calendar for events coming up this summer and at the start of the school year.

On behalf of the Partin staff, I would like to congratulate all our 5th graders and

wish them good luck in middle school. You will always be an All-Star! I wish you

all a happy, safe, and enjoyable summer.

Your proud principal,

Nancy Urban

Parent Letters for Next School Year

As we start planning for next school year, I wanted to inform you that I do not take specific teacher

requests; however, general letters reflecting teacher traits that would match your child’s learning/

behavior style will be accepted and always considered. Specific student characteristics or needs

(PRIMES, Gifted, ESOL, ESE, health issues, 504 accommodation, learning styles, etc.) will be taken into

account when assigning students. All general requests must be turned into me by May 12, as we also

get input from their current teacher for best placement.

Thinking about Summer?

Partin is excited to have the Media Center

open this summer every Tuesday from 10

am—3pm on June 13, 20, 27, July 11, 18, 25.

Dr. Noorlander will host a Sunshine State

Book Talk on June 27, July 11,
