Check out more Spirit Week pics below.

We highly recommend you take time before the holidays to write out your Progress Reports in a Word/Google document. This allows you to copy & paste them in ALE on the upcoming progress due date, which is January 6th because of Winter Break. We understand it is difficult to return from a break and instantly write PRs. We hope you have a wonderful and relaxing holiday break!

Sincerely, Your PGS Advisors

PS. ALE opens for PRs starting January 1.

PGS Parents Erin Covey and Allison Hinds will be hosting an informal Q & A session to support families of 8th grade students who are transitioning to a comprehensive high school (Cascade, Everett or Jackson). As parents of students who have transitioned from PGS to EHS, we'll share about this experience from a parent perspective. We'll share information about the how PGS is different than the high schools, homework expectations, the different types of classes available, graduation requirements, sports, clubs & activities, how to stay informed about school happenings, etc. If you have questions about your students transitioning to high school, please join us! We'll meet on the family side near the mailboxes on January 14 at 9:15 am. In the Spring, Laura Wight and Autumn Slater (our school counselor) will be offering an official session about the nuts and bolts of the transition so please keep an eye out for that as well!
