Good Afternoon PCMS Families!
I hope this final PCMS Weekly Update finds you and your family well! We wanted to take a moment to thank you for your support and partnership throughout the school year as we worked together to help your child become the best version of themself. We wish our 8th graders continued success as they move on to high school - we’ll miss them! And for our 6th and 7th graders, we’ll see them again in August! As the school year comes to a close, we wish you and your family a safe and enjoyable summer. May it be filled with fun adventures and quality time spent together.
Enjoy your summer and GO PIRATES!!

🏴 Pirates ROCK Character Trait for MAY: Respect
Pirates R.O.C.K. (Raising Outstanding Character Kids) is a program designed to surround our families with examples of strong character traits through school experiences, at home, and reinforced in their community. Each month our community focuses on a specific character trait and students are recognized for exhibiting these traits: Self Confidence, Pride, Responsibility, Citizenship, Compassion, Individuality, Self Control, Integrity, Perseverance, Respect, Honesty, and Cooperation.
May's #PiratesRock trait is Respect: being considerate of others, property, rules & authority.
