Dear PCE Families,
What an amazing start to the school year! It has been wonderful welcoming all of our Wildcats back to Peach Creek Elementary—both our returning students and those joining the PCE family for the first time. Seeing our hallways and classrooms filled with smiling faces, excitement, and energy has been the perfect way to begin what we know will be a fantastic year!
This past week, our teachers were intentional about building strong relationships with students while taking time to practice routines and procedures. Establishing these expectations early helps create safe, structured, and welcoming classrooms where every student feels connected, supported, and ready to learn.
Our teachers also worked alongside their students to establish classroom social contracts. These social contracts give students a voice in determining how they want to be treated, how they will treat one another, and what they need from their teachers to be successful. With these relationships, routines, and expectations in place, we are ready to begin a strong week of Tier 1 instruction across our campus.
This week, our Wildcats will also begin setting their MAP growth goals with their teachers. Students will use their learning data, along with guidance from their teachers, to identify goals they will work toward throughout the year. We want our students to understand where they are, where they are going, and the steps they can take to continue growing.
We are so excited to watch each and every one of our students grow throughout this school year. We know that growth looks different for every child, and we are committed to supporting, encouraging, and challenging every Wildcat along the way.
Thank you, families, for trusting us with your children and for partnering with us as we begin this journey together. We are looking forward to an incredible year at PCE!
Every Student, Every Day; Mission: Growth Ready!
With Wildcat Pride,
Jessica Sowell
Principal
