    With more students returning to school, we have a NEW CARPOOL PATTERN for morning drop-off. 

    Kindergarten - 2nd Families:
    Upon entering our parking lot, you will take the inner lane and turn left at the first curved driveway. You will then continue, as normal, all the way up to the top of the carpool lane for drop-off. Cones will direct the way.
    Please make sure everyone in the car is wearing a mask.
     
    3rd - 5th Families:
    Upon entering our parking lot, you will take the outer lane and continue along the big loop until you stop at the doors near the Gym to drop-off. Please remember to not exit your car until we have received your COVID Attestation Form and taken your child's temperature.
    Please make sure everyone in the car is wearing a mask.
     
    ***If you have children in both age ranges, please use the inner K-2 lane for drop-off!
     
    AFTERNOON CARPOOL:
    Please form a single-file car line along the big loop as you wait your turn to pick up your child.

    Help Fuel Up Prepare for Winter Break!

    Fuel Up is a non-profit charity food backpack organization that serves students in pre-K through 5th grade attending Perry Harrison Elementary and Chatham Grove Elementary (for the 2020-2021 school year).  The mission of Fuel Up is to provide students with nutritious and substantial foods when students are not in school.   

    Fuel Up is preparing for Winter Break 2020 and your support is needed to make it happen. Fuel Up volunteers will be shopping in bulk, and a handful of volunteers will pack and deliver food for the entirety of Winter Break. The bags will contain 3 weeks worth of food which includes fresh produce, milk, perishables, snacks, treats and shelf stable items.    

    You can make your monetary donation on our website with a custom donation or send us a check to payable to Fuel Up Perry Harrison Elementary. $20 will allow us to purchase two weeks worth of food while $30 will provide substantial and nutritious foods for the entirety of Winter Break.  Please note, if you send us a check, it could be a month before you get a tax receipt due to the logistics of only being at the school every other Wednesday.  

    Another way you can help is by sending us food items.  Food items can be purchased and sent directly to Perry Harrison Elementary using our Amazon wishlist or participating in your neighborhood Porch program.  You can also organize a food collection for your church group or neighborhood. Please email Aviva, the program Fuel Up chair, for a list of items to gather and to make arrangements for getting the food delivered.  Please note, we leave food items untouched in our closet for a least a week before distributing them to the students.

    We could not continue to serve our students without community support.  Thank you for joining us in combating food insecurity at Perry Harrison Elementary and Chatham Grove Elementary.

  • Welcome to Mrs. Doty's Page!

    Monthly Mariner Message
    August         September     October     November

    Hello Mariners! 

    I want to take this opportunity to say hello to our newest Mariners and welcome back those who are returning. These last couple of months have been like no other and, as you can imagine, preparing for this new school year has brought about its own unique challenges. One thing I do know for sure is that the faculty and staff here at PHS are excited to work and support all of our families this school year, whether it is through Zoom or face to face.

    Our school community looks very different this year than it has in the past. The new school, Chatham Grove, is finished and we lost ⅔ of our families and staff to that community. We are now a much smaller school (around 300 students), which gives us some great opportunities to do things we were not able to do before.  

    The most important first step is for all of us to get to know each other and  build strong, positive relationships with one another so that we can work toward the same goal-providing the best educational experience possible for our students here at PHS. 

    Our PTA is already at work doing some of these things. The PTA board is reaching out to parents to encourage them to join the PTA and come together for virtual meetings. They are also working on recruiting volunteers to serve in different capacities to support our staff and students. Finally, the PTA is working to build strong lines of communication to keep parents well-informed about all happenings within the school. 

    The second step that I would like for us to embark upon is the revision of our school’s mission and vision statements. 

    “Your school’s identity is about defining who you are as a school and communicating that clearly to all of your stakeholders. It is about creating clear mission and vision statements that support excellence and define what your school stands for.” 

    As this quote states, it will be important that we have all stakeholders’ input in this process. This work will begin as soon as school starts through our school improvement team. I will send out more information in the August newsletter, The Mariner Message. 

    It is my greatest hope that we are all back to school face to face as soon as possible. Until then, please stay safe and reach out to us if there is anything you need. 

    To keep parents in the loop on all the great things going on at PHS, they can:

    • Receive my monthly newsletter, The Mariner Message
    • Listen to or receive through email The Weekly Top 5
    • Log into the PTA website at https://phspta.membershiptoolkit.com/
    • Read Anchor’s Away, the PTA weekly newsletter which is found on the PTA website.
