School Picture Make-Up Day!! Thursday, September 26th.
This is NOT the RE-TAKE day. This is just the make-up day for all students who did not attend Open House Night OR any new students that enrolled at Pettigrew after 8/20/2024, as well as Early Childhood students.
Student picture packets will be distributed after the Make-up Day, when all students have had a chance to take pictures.
Re-Takes will be in October!

Pettigrew Families,
Our Pettigrew PTO needs you! Our school PTO sponsors some AMAZING student and family events throughout the year but they absolutely can not do it without parental volunteering and support.
Join the PTO this year!
Please consider helping out at PTO events, even if it is only for part of the time. Pettigrew is very grateful for our parents that take the time to ensure our students have fond memories of the PTO sponsored events that take place at school. We are a large school and need a lot of hands to keep events fun and SAFE.
