Ms. Christine's VPK class says: "HELLO!!!!!"

Eli demonstrates iBelieve behaviors constantly. We are impressed with his responsibility for his own learning and achievement. He takes that even further by helping his classmates. He encourages his peers to find their own answers and is a constant leader in classes.

Students had an opportunity to get goodies this week from the store.

Come to cheer on our Volleyball Team!

Readers are Leaders suggest some titles that go hand-in-hand with Monroe County’s Culture of Literacy for this Month, Fall into Literacy:

Our first challenge will be announced this week! Students will earn Brag Tags when they meet the challenge! More information to follow😊.

I am looking for donations of Lysol Spray and Kleenex. I have a resurgence of Harry Potter readers and if you have a set available, we can use it here.

Thank you to all my wonderful volunteers! Email me here at school if you are interested in helping. Specifically, I'm looking for someone with "expertise" in setting up my aquarium. It will be a nice addition to our Media Center!

Happy Fall! Dr. Cash

Dear Parents –

This year PKS has expanded their commitment to safety for our students and staff.

We are being even more vigilant during arrival and dismissal times and it would be very helpful if the only adults present during these times are the PKS staff. That way, if there is a stranger or someone who does not belong on school grounds, it will be obvious.

How you can assist:

• Stay in your vehicle
• Report anything out of the ordinary
• Drop off students at the end of the walkway, or at the South gate if walking/biking

Thank you all for your cooperation!!!
