December 4th- December 9th
Dear Families,
We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! This is a busy and exciting time at Pleasant View. The upcoming month’s newsletters will be jam packed with news, updates, and upcoming events.
To start, a HUGE thank you to Alex Farland and the Boy Scouts for installing a Free Lending Library in the corner of the garden on the left side of the cafeteria as part of his Eagle Scout project. The Free Lending Library has a variety of book levels. Feel free to take a book and or to leave a book.
Upcoming PTO Sponsored Event
Just a friendly reminder that the holiday cookies, crafts, and Santa is taking place on Wednesday, December 6th.

Old County Road Elementary School

Second Annual Drop & Shop Event at OCR.
Attendance
Attendance across the nation has been a HUGE issue post-Covid. We need all students in school when they are well. Please obtain a doctor’s note whenever your child is absent for more than two days or released early for appointments of illness. We appreciate families scheduling their planned vacations during No School Days.
Lastly, any family who’s student exceeds being absent more than 10% of the month, an attendance reminder is generated and sent out through the RI Department of Education.
A Message from Mrs. Clapprood On Book Fair News!

Parents will have the opportunity to shop during Parent Teacher Conferences. A schedule with your child's exact day and time will be sent out towards the end of this week.
