Cook’s Night Off

Take a Break from Cooking & Support PRS! 🍽️🐻

Hey PRS families! Give yourself a well-deserved Cook’s Week Off (not just 1 night) and join us in supporting the PRS PTO! From March 10th to 16th, visit any Bear’s location in CT, show this flyer (or order online with code PRSPTO), and Bear’s will donate 20% of proceeds to help fund our Book Vending Machine and Math Mobile.

Enjoy delicious BBQ while giving back—it’s a win-win! So gather your family, skip the kitchen stress, and let’s make this a tasty success for our school. See you at Bear’s! 🍗📚➕🐻

The Student Leadership Team is supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital with a Wear Green Spirit Day on Monday, March 17. Click here for details. Thank you!

Just a reminder that Kindergarten Registration is open. You can begin the registration process online. If you have, or you know someone who has a student eligible to start Kindergarten for the 25-26 school year, please start the registration process asap so you can participate in the transition activities this spring. Registering early allows us to have a better idea of enrollment and the number of classroom sections that we need for the upcoming school year.

Please see the link below for more information about the Patriotic Commission Essay Contest.

Can you please share on your newsletters and on digital displays in your buildings that the our Preschool Outreach Program is now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year? This can be found on our district website and the link for the application is here
