From Prescott to Jamaica: Let’s Pay It Forward!
Our hearts are so full from the generosity we’ve received, and now, it’s our turn to be the light for others! This fall, the community of Newtown, Jamaica, was devastated by a hurricane. Their schools were hit hard and students need the basic tools to finally return to their classrooms. We are calling on our Cardinal families to help us fill boxes with school essentials.
Just as our community showed up for us, let’s show up for the students of Newtown. Every pencil, notebook, and backpack helps a child get back to the learning they love. For the month of February, Prescott Intermediate Student Council is hosting a School Supply Drive! Please bring new school items to school to show your support.
I hope you all enjoy the slightly warmer weather as we head into February.

Reminder: At PIS a warning bell rings at 7:50 and students are expected to be at their desks ready for the day by 7:55, the official start to the school day.
I want to take a moment to discuss the importance of punctuality for your child’s success at school. Arriving on time not only sets a positive tone for the day but also helps students fully engage in their learning experience.
Here are a few key reasons why being on time to school is crucial:
Academic Readiness: Late arrivals can disrupt not only your child’s focus but also the entire class. Missing the start of a lesson can lead to gaps in understanding.
Routine and Responsibility: Punctuality fosters a sense of responsibility and helps students develop essential life skills, such as time management.
Social Interaction: Arriving on time allows students to connect with their peers before class, fostering friendships and a sense of belonging.
Respect for Others: Being on time shows respect for teachers and classmates, contributing to a positive classroom environment.
I appreciate your support in having your child arrive at school with enough time to be ready for learning and at the desks when the school day starts at 7:55. Together, we can help them make the most of their educational experience.
