Pemberton Elementary

👴👵 Yesterday was the 100th day of school at Pemberton Elementary and the kids absolutely crushed it! From creative 100-item shirts to dressing up like they’re 100 years old, they celebrated this milestone in the best way. 100 days down, and we couldn’t be prouder! 💯

✏️🧮Last week, we had so much fun celebrating students who reached their ELA and Math goals on their MAP assessments by playing Winter Bingo! Thank you so much for the amazing prizes that were donated by our phenonenal community partners: Lighthouse of the Hope Worship Center, Mt. Enoch Holy Church, and Tabernacle of Prayer Church! We also want to congratulate 2 teams of teachers that had the most growth in their subject areas! Ms. Cooling and Ms. Kenna, our amazing 5th grade ELA teachers, are the faces behind the huge growth with our 5th grade students. Also, Ms. Fries and Ms. Joseph, our awesome 3rd grade math teachers, are responsible for the top math growth with their students. They will be receiving gift cards from both Vernon Powell and ChickFila, who have generously supported our students and teachers this year at Pemberton! Thank you to these outstanding educators for showcasing the excellent teaching and learning happening here every day. ⭐👏

📚🚒 2nd graders we so excited to welcome the firefighters from the Salisbury Fire Department this week as they kicked off our annual Blazing a Trail for Literacy community project. We look forward to having the firefighters back to share more books with our students! We are so grateful for all of the support from our community!

📚🔍During a nonfiction unit in reading, Mrs. Shaver’s class worked hard to research animals, choose their favorite, and create an anchor chart explaining how their animal survives including a heading and a caption!

🎨Mrs. Lobus' class had a great time adding liquid watercolor paint to their salt snowflakes in art class! 

This is important information about a revision to the approved 2025-2026 school year calendar to make up a day lost to winter weather last month.

During the Board of Education meeting on Feb. 10, the school system announced a revision to the approved calendar to use one of the designated make-up days. Students of Wicomico County Public Schools will now have school on Monday, March 16th, with 3-hour early dismissal. March 16th is no longer a staff professional day.

The revised calendar is posted in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole on the Calendar page of the school system’s website. Please make sure to use this updated calendar -- with a date of Feb, 10, 2026 in the bottom right corner and March 16th shown as a school day with early dismissal -- as the school year continues.

Letter days for elementary students (including those at Pittsville Elementary & Middle) are posted each week during the school year. The schedule of letter days is on school web pages in Live Feed, and on the school system's website, in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole.

The Wicomico County Board of Education will hold a public budget hearing at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 10 in the Board Auditorium at 101 Long Ave., Salisbury. All are invited to attend to give input for next year's school system budget.
