Every donation matters and helps those in need. A huge shoutout to the Student Council, along with Ms. Gadd, Ms. Buraczynski, and Ms. O’Connor, for their incredible effort in promoting and organizing this initiative.

Dressing for the Cold
Please remember to dress your children appropriately for outdoor activities. Hats, gloves, and warm winter coats are essential, especially as we aim to have outdoor recess whenever possible. Staying warm ensures students can enjoy the fresh air and stay active safely and comfortably
Changes in Dismissal Plan
We understand that life is busy and occasional changes may come up in your child's dismissal plans. For example, if you need to switch from bus transportation to car pick-up for an afternoon, it is critical for us to know. Please email your child’s teacher with the updated dismissal information and include a CC to Ms. Bacheller in the main office at vbacheller@prsd.org. This ensures we can safely and efficiently manage the dismissal process for all students. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
Dismissal Safety Reminders
We appreciate your cooperation during dismissal time. To keep everyone safe, please note:
- Use the designated crosswalk when heading to the lower parking lot
- Cars should pull all the way up in the line to maintain traffic flow
- No sharp U-turns to exit before the car in front of you has moved.
If your child is still learning to buckle themselves, consider parking in the lower lot and walking over to help them. This small adjustment may make dismissal smoother for you and safer for everyone else.
