There will be NO SCHOOL Monday, February 5th, 2024.
Do you use the online Attendance Portal in Infinite Campus to report student absences? We will continue to process FULL DAY absence requests, but we can no longer accept partial day absences and appointments through the portal.
**Late arrivals, early checkouts and partial day absences must be called into the office to be sure that attendance is recorded accurately.
We are available in the office from 7:00am-4:00pm M-F and our voicemail is available 24/7 for any attendance needs.
The playground at Pettigrew is a Winter Wonderland! Remember, snow pants and boots are REQUIRED to play on the snow hills! Keep your winter gear ready for school each day!
LOOK!!! The new Pettigrew Library furniture has arrived! This furniture is part two of a library makeover thanks to the Fun Run donations and hard work from our families to make the Fun Run a success!
Our students absolutely loved the library makeover last year, so we can't wait for them to come back and check out the lastest add ons!
Thank you Pettigrew families for making this possible~

Classroom 403 was doing some practice with Line of Symmetry today! Students were working with partners to make a symmetrical shape from one line of symmetry!
We're in our Geometry unit and just started talking about if something is symmetrical or has mirror symmetry and their shapes turned out really cool!
