Poynette Elementary School Staff are:
"Leaders in providing a positive, successful, and safe environment for ALL"
so our students can say,
"We are Pumas! I am growing and learning every day."
It is hard to believe but time keeps flying. We surpassed the 100th day of school. There were special activities in some grade levels to celebrate this momentous occasion. We had another busy two months and look forward to finishing the year strong. We also have loved the nice weather for recess.
Conference Information
- We do have conferences coming rather quickly on Thursday, March 7th.

- The topics are similar for each grade level, but the examples used are age appropriate.
- If you would like to see the lessons prior to your child participating please reach out to the school office.
