While we tossed a shout out to Dawn Valer our school nurse last week on Nurse’s Day, today is actually NATIONAL SCHOOL NURSE DAY!
Pettigrew is so thankful to have Nurse Dawn taking care of our Panther students!
Her compassion, optimism, and kindness do not go unnoticed. Thanks to Nurse Dawn for all she does to help around the entire building!

This has been a wonderful week of Staff Appreciation and taking time out to acknowledge the WONDERFUL STAFF we have at Pettigrew. Thank you to each and every one of you that took an opportunity make this week special to our staff.





Pettigrew shout out to our lead clerical Kris Haines on her retirement from the district after this school year.
Kris has been our guiding force at Pettigrew since the doors opened in 2009.
We wish her well in her retirement endeavors as she plans to travel to spend time with family, read, enjoy the birds in her backyard and especially spending extra time with her grandkids.
We have been very lucky to have her as our lead clerical here at Pettigrew and we hope to see her occasionally as she plans to be a clerical sub in the district!




Pettigrew students LOVE our LUNCH HERO'S. They make our lunch time run so smoothly and keep tables clean and tidy for the next group of students coming to eat!
Thank you to all of our lunch room staff helpers!

Shout out to our wonderful nurse at Pettigrew! If you see her on Friday, May 6th, wish her a HAPPY NURSE'S DAY!


Parent/guardian feedback is important to SFSD! We just launched a 7-question survey - which takes 5 minutes or less - to help guide the next steps toward becoming the BEST school district in the nation!

The survey is open until the end of the school year. Take the survey once for each child enrolled. If you prefer to only take it on, please reference the oldest child in your household. Thanks for your participation!
