We love Pewitt Elementary! The tight knit community is a huge plus for us. I am not from this area but have come to feel at home here. The teachers & staff at Pewitt Elementary have been great to communicate with us & are always appreciative of us reinforcing appropriate school behaviors at home. When I ask for updates, the teachers reply timely. Could not ask for a better principal than Mrs. Pate. She is wonderful. The student to teacher ratio is also great.The school participates in a number of great programs- such as free lunches to all Elementary students and an after-school program. My kids do not have much homework. Normally homework is either to practice/review the weeks material or to read books. If they are not using classroom time wisely, they may have some work sent home. The classrooms & hallways are always decorated in fun themes for young kids. You can tell the staff puts a lot of work into it. I know some feel that small schools do not offer the same opportunities as larger schools, but the benefits are so much greater to me in a small school. My kids are accountable for their actions because they know Mom & Dad will find out. They also get more individual attention & opportunities to grow their confidence. I feel safe sending my kids to this school.
