Peabody librarian Ms. Miller is looking for volunteers to kick of Peabody’s Team Read program! It’s designed to provide 2nd grade students the opportunity learn high frequency words with one-to-one instruction.

Message from Principal Nelson: 

Student health and safety is a priority at Peabody Elementary. During inclement weather or rainy days, the children will wait inside the building.  Parents must come into the school in the foyer and stand in the designated area behind the ropes. Students will not be called from classrooms until 3:10 P.M. during Rainy Day Dismissal.  Remember, early check-out stops at 2:40 P.M. Students will not be called for check out after 2:40 P.M. Important learning takes place at the end of the day.  Please allow your child to stay at school until 3:15 P.M. each day!

Car rides in grades KK, 1, 2, 3, and 4 will be dismissed through the front entrance of the school.  Pre-K and 5 grade car riders will be dismissed downstairs through the east side door.  Daycare riders and walkers in grades KK-5 will be dismissed through the west door.

We ask all parents to enter through the front (Grades 1-4) or the east side (Grades Pre-k and 5) of the building to pick up the children during inclement weather.  Pre-K parents must come into the Pre-K classroom to sign-out students.

Please do not park or leave your car unattended in front door of the school from 7:00 A.M.-3:00 P.M.  Unfortunately, the police will issue a ticket.  Please read and follow the Parking Sign guidelines around the school. When parking, please do not block our neighbors’ driveways.

Parents are NOT ALLOWED to park in the Faculty Parking Lot or drop-off/pick-up students on the lot at any time due to student safety and limited parking for teachers. Cars found on the Faculty Parking Lot will be asked to move immediately.

Parents, please do not park on the side of Tanglewood Street adjacent to the school on any given day.  The police will ticket vehicles parked there. Tanglewood Street adjacent to the school is RESERVED FOR DAYCARE AND SCHOOL BUSES ONLY!!! Thank you for helping to keep our students safe!

The Peabody PTA is involved in so many great activities that benefit our Eagles. And communication about upcoming events and important reminders is just one of those services the Peabody PTA provides to our families

That’s why we’re collecting emails for the 2018-2019 school year, so that you can be as engaged as you can be. But we can’t send you emails until you opt in.  Even if you signed up last year, you must opt-in again.

Relatives and teachers are encouraged to sign up. And if you’re interested in volunteering — you can sign up for our teams here!

We’ve made it easy.

Just click here to opt in to email and volunteer opportunities!

You can pay your dues online, too!

If you don’t want to pay online, just put cash or a check made out to: PEABODY PTA and place in an envelope with your name, email and “PTA Dues” written on it. Then slip into the PTA mailbox located on the front of the receptionist’s desk in the mail lobby.

We are so happy to have students and parents back for the 2018-2019 school year. We want to make sure our students feel our excitement! Peabody is looking for parent volunteers to join the Welcome Back Squad and greet our students on the first day of school from 7:45 – 8:15am in front of the school. Parents will line the sidewalks to welcome students with a big smile and wave!

If you are interested, please come to the school Monday, August 6th at 7:40am. We will meet in the main office. If your child is with you, she can hang out in the cafeteria (teachers will be supervising) and then walk through the Welcome Back Squad with the other kids.

Grandparents, aunts, cousins, friends – feel free to join and let’s get this school year off to an exciting start for our Eagles.

Bring your biggest smiles and best cheers!
