#Engage, Energize, & Educate
October 25th
Dear Families,
It was so nice to see so many families at our PTO sponsored Trunk or Treat on Saturday evening. We appreciate all of those families who volunteered to decorate their trunks and pass out candy. Below are a few pictures from this event.

Attendance
School attendance is a powerful predictor of student outcomes. Rhode Island defines chronic absenteeism as the percentage of students who miss 10% or more of school days during the year (or two days per month). Attending school every day is even more critical in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At Pleasant View, we are currently at 8% of students who are chronically absent. Our goal is to have only 5 to 6 % students chronically absent.
Everyday Speech
Classes in all grade levels continue to use the Everyday Speech social-emotional program this year. For example, in unit 2, grade 2 is learning how to have a GROWTH MINDSET. A growth mindset allows our brain to grow and recognizes that we learn from our mistakes.
Chartwells
Below are the menus for the month of November. If you have a student in the lower grades, please consider reviewing each day’s menu options with them. Thank you.
November Lunch Gluten Free Elementary
Walkers
Just a reminder to have your authorized walker pass or identification card with you at dismissal at all times. Please call the school office or let your child’s teacher know if you are in need of a pass.
IT Email
If you or your child need technology assistance at any time during the school year, please email our Technology Department at technosps@smithgfield-ps.org. Thank you.
