November Family Newsletter
November 1, 2021
Principal Corner
Hello Pan American families!
Can you believe it is just about November? I have a couple of reminders for you about our health and safety protocols. We continue to wear masks, physical distance and disinfect and sanitize daily. Also, please make sure you are completing the wellness screener on School Pass daily.
Please note that while we love to celebrate different events at Pan American, we are not allowing any food, snacks, or sweet treats for celebrations in classrooms.
The Transport Workers Union Local 234 and Septa have reached an agreement. Pan American Academy will continue with our current in-person schedule.
November is homelessness awareness month. There are many events planned for the month. Be sure to check the link in this newsletter and continue checking the cheetah newsflash weekly for updates.
Stay well!

¡Hola familias de Pan American!
¿Pueden creer que ya casi estamos en el mes de noviembre? Tengo unos recordatorios para ustedes sobre nuestros protocolos de salud y seguridad. Seguimos usando mascarillas, distancia física y desinfectando diariamente. También, favor asegúrese de que usted está completando el chequeo de bienestar en School Pass diariamente.
Por favor, tenga en cuenta que aunque nos encanta celebrar diferentes eventos en Pan American, no estamos permitiendo ningún tipo de comida, bocadillos o dulce para las celebraciones en las aulas.
El Sindicato de Trabajadores del Transporte Local 234 y Septa han llegado a un acuerdo. Pan American Academy continuará con nuestro actual horario en persona.
Noviembre es el mes de la concientización sobre las personas sin hogar. Hay muchos eventos planeados para el mes. Asegúrese de revisar el enlace en este boletín y continúe revisando el cheetah newsflash semanalmente para las actualizaciones.
¡Mantengase bien!
