KEY ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS
Weekly Updates
A huge, heartfelt thank you to our parents and caregivers for partnering with us on another wonderful school year. Your support, involvement, and encouragement have made a tremendous impact in our students’ growth and success. Whether you were helping with homework, attending school events, or volunteering your time, your presence is deeply appreciated.
Our partnership is the foundation of our community, and we are so grateful for the trust you place in us each day. Together, we have created a nurturing, joyful, and academically rich environment where children thrive. Have a wonderful and safe summer with family and loved ones.
Fourth Grade Celebration
We are so proud of our fourth graders, who will be moving on to Middle School next year! We enjoyed celebrating this milestone with the Class of 2033 at this morning's Fourth-Grade Celebration. Thank you to all of our parents for supporting them through their first years at Porter-Gaud. Click here to see a photo gallery from today’s celebration.
Field Day
Tomorrow is Lower School Field Day. Students do not need to bring their backpacks to school unless they want to bring a change of clothes. Students should wear their PE uniforms and closed toe shoes. We will have field day inside due to weather, but not to worry, the kids will still have a blast! Dismissal time is 11:45 p.m.
Photos from Writing Celebrations
Our Lower School students have grown so much as writers this year! Click below to see photos from our writing celebrations.
Summer Work and Supply Lists for 2025-2026 School Year
Summer work and supply lists will be posted on the school website in June. While the ideas included are optional, we do encourage all students to read, write and do math throughout summer. Hopefully you will find ideas, both on our website and in the world around you, that excite your children and keep them engaged. We do ask that everyone read the book Maybe Just Ask Me by Katie Mazeika (hopefully with their families). We will discuss the book in class when students return to school in August as part of our conversation around virtues.
Lost and Found
Please check for any lost and found items. They will be on a table outside the Lower School office. This will be the last opportunity you have to retrieve lost items.
