Save the Children has an opportunity for children and families in Calhoun County! We offer weekly Parent Child Groups throughout the county. The focus of these groups will be Kindergarten Readiness Skills for children 3 to 5 years old, but all younger siblings are also welcomed to attend. Snacks will also be provided! One lucky parent/caregiver will win a small door prize.
During the weekly Parent Child Groups, we will be exploring the following Language, Literacy and Math Kindergarten Readiness skill areas: Knowing about the alphabet, books and print; talking and listening; understanding words and sounds; numbers, counting, patterns, sorting and classification; comparison, measurement and geometry. These are all critical skills that your child needs in order to be prepared for Preschool and Kindergarten. I look forward to meeting you and helping prepare your child for school success!
These groups are great for those who are entering Preschool for the 2023-2024 school year. They will help them become familiar with the school, classroom and staff.

With the 2022-23 school year coming to an end, as the Communities In Schools Coordinator at Pleasant Hill Elementary, I want to thank all of the students, staff, and parents for a great year and a huge thank you to the parents for allowing their child/ children to be a part of Communities In Schools. This year I have built wonderful relationships with families, students, and staff and this program would not be successful without you. I am looking forward to next school year and working with all of you again.
Pleasant Hill fourth graders you will be missed. I want to wish you all the best of luck as you move up to Calhoun Middle
school. You all will do great things and always remember the sky is the limit.
I hope you all have a safe and fun-filled summer.
Miss Carrie

Good morning, You may hear students talking about the our new alert system today.
Calhoun County School is in the final stages of testing the system, provided by the COPS Grant, in our schools. This system will allow quicker response times for schools and first responders in case of an emergency. Evaluation of the system is starting, to ensure all the settings and various announcements are working.
Join us at any of the following locations.
Reminder for all Pre-k parents. If you still have a Red Reader Bag (Save the Children) please send them back in this week.
This is a reminder to all 4th Grade students. Tomorrow, May 11th, they will be visiting Calhoun Middle High School for Move Up Day.

After lunch they will be bused back to PHE.
UPDATE: One lane is open on Route 16, from the accident near Vaughn Road. Busses are able to pass. We are expecting some delays, but not as much as originally planned.
