Pana Elementary School is set for the start of another academic year after just getting settled in to their new building. Now administration is looking at how to better utilize their space and possibly bringing about more collaboration between the district’s three schools. This week, teachers and staff will resume operations for their first official day of the school year, on Tuesday, August 13th. That evening will also see students of all grade levels flood the hallways for their “Meet the Teacher” night.

Adam Metzger, Principal of Pana Elementary School, shares about his staff’s first day back and what that will look like. 

Once teachers and staff wrap up beginning of the year duties, they’ll get to see their newest batch of students and families. “Meet the Teacher” night will be held on Tuesday, August 13th from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m..

Metzger discusses arrival and dismissal at Pana Elementary School this year. Now that end of day school pickup has been optimized, Metzger says an additional 15 minutes of instruction time daily, will be the biggest benefit to the changes that were made.

Additionally, Metzger tells that Pana Elementary School is once again fully staffed at the start of school. He talks some other improvements being made under his lead including “consistent expectations.”
