Good Morning Pocasset Families,
I hope you’re having a great week!
BCI’s: We’d love to have families participate in our Year End activities. In order to do so, you will need to have a valid (current) BCI. BCI’s are only valid for 1 year, so if you had your BCI completed last May or June, you will need to redo it in time for Field Day or Color Run. Please call the Tiverton Police Department to schedule your BCI time - it takes about 10 minutes. Thank you!
Memorial Day Ceremony: Pocasset’s Annual Memorial Day Ceremony will be held on Friday, May 26th at 2:15 pm in our Playground. If you haven’t attended before, each grade (afternoon PreK - grade 4) takes part in the celebration, either by singing or dancing. All students are to wear Red, White, and Blue for the celebration, and our awesome PTO purchases patriotic necklaces for our students. It is a short ceremony, but it is a much beloved tradition that we’d love to share with you. If you wish to take your child home after the ceremony, we ask that you allow your child to come back into the building and you sign out your child through our Main Office for safety. Thank you, and we’re looking forward to seeing you at our ceremony!
