From the Principal’s Desk

Dear Partin Families,

Thank you for the wonderful send-off you gave Dr. Windish for his promotion to principal of Carillon Elementary. He

definitely felt the love and appreciation from all the students, staff, and families. As of Monday, October 26, I want to welcome

Aimee Padilla as our new assistant principal. She has been an employee of Seminole County for the past seventeen years.

Twelve of those were instructional years; which she spent teaching grades second through fifth at Red Bug and Wekiva Elemen-

tary. She also teaches at the college level at Rollins College as an adjunct professor. We are looking forward to her joining our

Partin All Star family. She will be at the PTA Fall Festival on October 29 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. We will have a special table for her

in the dining room from 6:30-7:00 p.m. if you want to stop by and personally say hello. She will quickly see what a wonderful

community she has become a part of here at Partin. Thank you always for all your support and dedication to our school and

your child’s education. Sincerely,

Nancy Urban

Supervision Hours at Partin

Partin Elementary Staff provides

supervision of students starting at 8:00 a.m.

Please do not drop students off before that

time as we cannot assure their safety prior to

that time unless your child is part of a special

scheduled activity.

We do provide Extended Day ser-

vices in the cafeteria for those parents that

need help prior to 8:00 AM. Registration and

weekly rates apply for Extended Day.

Partin is a Bully Free Zone Bullying has, rightfully, gathered lots of

attention in recent years and is a word that gets

used often by the public. Someone who bullies

repeatedly uses an imbalance of power (both

perceived and actual) to physically, mentally, or

socially hurt another.

While single, one-time, incidents can be

very serious and are addressed appropriately and

proactively at Partin Elementary, they are not

considered bullying unless the behavior continues

and shows an imbalance.

There are several resources for parents

and students on our school website which address

potential bullying situations. Two pamphlets are

available: one has strategies for students, and the

other one has strategies for parents. An anony-

mous reporting tool is available for those that wish

to remain anonymous.

The first line of defense against bullying

is the students themselves. Always encourage

students to “say something if they see something.”

Teachers and other trusted adults at Partin are

ready to help.

Teach–In November 17th

It’s not too late to sign up for Teach-In on November 17. Teach-In high-lights the importance of bringing together teachers, school staff, parents, students, and communities in a unified effort to build great public schools. We'll do our part by giving you some suggestions to prepare you for this volunteer experience with an informative Teach-In Volunteer Guide. Simply fill out a Speaker Registra-tion Form or contact your child’s teacher directly. You can always call the front office for more information.

Pennies for Paws Campaign a Success

Partin Elementary School students

raised $1,346.41. We were the top Oviedo

school!

Congrats to Mrs. Keating’s class

for raising the most money at $100.53. They

won a pizza party! We also want to recog-

nize Mrs. Shuman’s class for having the best

decorated box. They won an ice cream sun-

dae party! Jackson, Pennies for Paws furry

ambassador, will make a special visit to

those classes to celebrate!

Sunshine State Young Readers Award

As students read the Sunshine State Young Readers Award books, their progress will be celebrated on this page. Students will need to be sure to report their pro-gress to Mrs. Willadsen in the Media Center.

Celebrating All-Star Student Success

A.C.E.S. Lunch for October

The following students have shown that All-Star Character Equals Success! Each month, teachers nominate students for exhib-iting impressive character traits. Of these students, two from each grade level are randomly picked to have a special lunch with the principal, assistant principal, and guidance counselor. This year, Papa Murphy’s generously supplied us with pizzas for these lunches and our Partin Restaurant provided the students with cookies. Thanks to those great establishments for supporting this program and to the students for their great efforts!
