PES serves our community by preparing all students in a safe and nurturing environment to be critical thinkers, productive citizens and thrivers with admirable character.

Did you know students who miss two to four days in September are more likely to have a poor attendance record for the year? Please monitor your child's attendance and make every effort to have them at school as much as possible (unless they are sick... of course.)

It is also important to remember that when students are checked out early, they miss instruction. Please schedule appointments after the close of the school day so that your child can be a part of all the learning that is taking place from 8:50 to 3:15.

Check the calendar below for the 24.25 school year.

This year, we will once again be focusing on the "Thriver" traits from Michele Borba's book Thrivers.

The first trait of the year is Self Control. Students will be learning about and practicing self control strategies during our morning meetings.

Learning how to take deep breaths when you are feeling out of control can really help you to pause, calm down and ultimatley regain self control. Throughout the month of September, students will learn and practice several different breathing strategies. Here are some that you can practice with your child at home.

All students are able to receive a free breakfast and hot lunch, please make sure your child knows whether they have brought a lunch or if they need to get one from our cafeteria. Breakfast is served at recess. Click on the link below to view both the breakfast and lunch menus.

When using the loop to pick up or drop off your child by car, PLEASE.....

• Only park in appropriate areas. The pick up loop can be a very busy place, especially on modified days. However, it is important to remember to only park in designated parking spaces. Please do not park along curbs that are painted red or in handicap spots unless you have a handicap placard. If there is not parking available when you arrive, you will need to park on the street and walk to meet your child or join the pick up loop. If you are parked in these areas, you will be asked to move.
• Always use the crosswalks.
• Do not use the parking lot as an additional pick-up line. This blocks access to parking spaces, including handicap spots. If there is not an open parking spot, please pull through and go around again to look for an opening or join the loop pick up line.
• Stay in your car when using the loop. If your child needs assistance entering or exiting the car, please park in the lot and walk them to their gate.
• Move all the way forward as directed by the school staff.
• In the morning, do not wait until your child reaches the gate to pull away. Staying in the loop and watching your child walk in through the gate, slows the flow of traffic. If you would like to watch your child enter the gate, please park your car and walk your child.
• At dismissal, do not stop in the loop and wait for your child to come your direction, instead pull up when there is space to pull forward. Pull all the way forward and continue to move forward with the traffic. Your child will walk down towards you.
