We have another Vitalant Blood Drive coming up on September 18, 2023 at the Best Western University Inn. If you went last time, you'll know there were some amazing snacks and some great company! This event not only helps to save lives, it raises funds for our school. See the flyer below for details. Scan the QR code to register or just show up. Please help us by reaching out to friends who may be willing to donate and share the pdf below. There is no need for donors to be affiliated with the school. We must fill the donation slots in order to receive funds from Vitalant, so mark your calendars and spread the word!

Picture Day is Tuesday, September 26. More information is coming soon!

Join the PPCS Landscape Committee for Weeding Wednesdays before and/or after school pickup (~2:30-3:30)! We’ll have gloves and tools or bring your favorites. We’ll be on the island in the middle of the parking lot- stop by any time and see what the Landscape Committee is up to!

The sidewalk from Southview Ave to the school is closed due construction of the building expansion. If you use Southview for pick-up or drop-off, please use Nursery Ave or the pick-up/drop-off lane in front of the school.
