Dearest PCS Families,

This week’s post will be short and sweet! I would just like to remind everyone about conferences taking place this week as we wrap up Quarter 1. Our conferences will be in person. If you need a virtual conference our teachers will be happy to accommodate that if needed. By now you should have signed up for a time slot to sit down and talk with your child’s teachers and other team members that play a part in the day-to-day learning. If for some reason you haven’t or did not receive sign-up information, please reach out directly to the teachers. We strive for 100% conference participation in order to keep an open and ongoing dialogue with families regarding student progress. Report cards and other progress reports will be given at that time as well.

No School reminders for this upcoming conference week:

Thursday, October 27th - Early Dismissal 12:00 pm
Friday, October 28th - NO SCHOOL

Thank you to all of the parent volunteers that worked to organize our Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat this past weekend! It is so great that we have so many families coming together to enjoy the weather, fun activities, and each other's company!
