Pocasset Elementary School

Hi Everyone, Here's a sign up link for Volunteers. We currently only have 2 volunteers, and need more to help make our event a success. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0C4EACAD2DA5F49-47364951-pocasset#/ Many thanks, Dr. Wordell

Good Afternoon Pocasset Families, We'd like to update our Pocasset Family Directory this year. I am including a Google Forms link for you to fill out https://forms.gle/EgDU6iH1j3CwzG198. There are only a few questions. The due date is next Friday, February 2, 2024. You will receive a list of parent information for your child's class the following week. This information then can be used to send out playdate or birthday invites. We'd prefer that birthday invites are sent directly to parents instead of sending invites into school, especially since many people only invite a small amount of kids to a party. Thank you for your help, Dr. Suzette Wordell, Principal https://forms.gle/EgDU6iH1j3CwzG198

Good Afternoon Pocasset Families, It's time for our Annual 2024 Snowflake Ball! What is the Snowflake Ball? It's a time when Pocasset students (ONLY) can get dressed up fancy and come to a student dance at Pocasset. It is a free Pocasset students only event. This is not a drop-off event. Every student MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian 18 years old or older in case a child gets injured (which we, of course, hope won't happen). This is a dark and loud event, similar to the PTO Halloween Party. It will probably be too much for most children 4 and under. In order for our event to be a success, we need volunteers! Here's the link to sign up to help us run the very best Snowflake Ball ever! Food/Baked Goods/Water: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0C4EACAD2DA5F49-47364970-snowflake/41854835#/ This is always one of the best events of the year. Think of it like an elementary school "prom". We welcome you to come and help us plan this on Wednesday, January 24 at 3:45 pm in our library. Looking forward to seeing all of you there! Thanks, Dr. Suzette Wordell, Principal

Pocasset's Winter Service Project with the Izzy Foundation (Hasbro Children's Hospital).

Good Morning, Please see the attached flyer about our School-Wide Winter Service Project. We're very excited to be partnering with the Izzy Project from Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence for this project. Children who are receiving long-term or significant medical assistance will receive from Pocasset art supplies the children can use to help pass along the long hospital days and nights, especially during the holidays. We are collecting items this week and next week. Our last collection day will be Friday, December 8, so our coordinators (Nurse Duarte and Mrs. Simmons) will have time to deliver the items to Hasbro during this holiday season. Thank you for all your help, Dr. Suzette Wordell, Principal

The PTO will do their best in filling Book list requests, but sometimes books are limited in supply and may be sold out before your child comes to the Book Fair. Thank you for understanding. 3.
