Hurricane Relief Project

For the next week, we will be partnering with International Aid by collecting personal hygiene items.  We are looking to collect: toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, diapers, baby wipes, and baby powder. These items cannot be opened and they’d prefer full size products rather than travel size.

All donations can be placed in the bins which are located in each classroom beginning Monday, September 25 until Friday, September 29.  International Aid will be picking the donations up Friday, so if we can have all items to school by Friday morning it would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you for being such a caring family. We look forward to providing a little hope to those who have been greatly impacted by the hurricanes!

Help us Color the Park!

Color the Park will take place on Friday, October 6th. Food and pre-party will begin at 4:30 pm and the 1.5 mile family fun walk/run will begin at 6 pm. Find more information information by contacting us at: PPCHudsonville@gmail.com

Assessments

If your child receives a 1 on any type of assessment, please do one of the following: sign the assessment and send it back to school the next day OR write a note in your child’s agenda stating you saw the assessment.  Thank you for helping us in this matter.  

Math Help?

We encourage students to take their math notebook and textbook home to help with their homework. That way they can use them as a resource if they forgot how to do their homework.   If they forgot their materials or need additional help, the following links can be used:
