A huge thank you to everyone attended our Open House and Fall Fest Events!

Please see the information below on how to access our online Sarris Candies Fundraiser. All orders need to be placed by 11:59 PM on December 15th. Thank you for supporting PMES!

The first Friday of every month is super exciting for our scholars as we celebrate the amazing things taking place in our school at our LEGENDARY LUNCH.

Our doors open at 8:00 AM and scholars are dismissed at 3:30 PM. All scholars that arrive after 8:30 AM will be marked tardy.

• Scholars arriving late must proceed to the front office to sign in using the tardy kiosk prior to entering class.

PIKMYKID Information:

• We will continue to utilize the PIKMYKID app to support student dismissals. Please see the link for useful information on how to register for the app and how to add siblings if needed. PIKMYKID PARENT INFO LINKS

Early Dismissals must be prior to 2:45 PM and you must notify the office of your early dismissal prior to noon of the same day. There will be no early dismissals after 2:45 pm for the safety of scholars and staff as we ready scholars for busing/dismissal.

• If you move or have any changes (ex. phone number, emergency contact, email, address) you must notify the main office right away. Change in contact information is very important in the event we need to reach you in regard to your child. Changes in residency need to be recorded at the office and could affect transportation.

If you need to schedule a meeting with our building principal/assistant principals those meetings will need to be scheduled through the front office and must be requested 24 hours in advance. If you have an urgent issue please reach out to me directly so that I can facilitate a callback from a administrator as soon as possible.

• Anyone wishing to enter our buildings is required to provide state-issued photo identification and to proceed through metal detectors to assist with maintaining a safe and secure environment for our scholars and staff.

If you have any general questions, I am the person to reach out to and you can reach me at:

When you selected Propel Schools as your partner in education, you did so with a clear understanding that scholars will follow a uniform dress code and that you will support your scholar by ensuring that their attire meets uniform expectations.

• Propel Schools holds the expectation that scholars will arrive at school dressed in their school uniforms.

• Uniform checks will be conducted regularly.

• If scholar attire does not meet uniform expectations, a parent/guardian will be contacted to bring appropriate attire to their scholar so that the scholar can begin or return to their learning as soon as possible.

The Propel Schools Uniform Dress Codes for scholars in grades K-8 and for high school scholars can be found on our website HERE.

• Propel Schools School Visitation Policy - It is the expectation that parents/guardians will not enter Propel buildings without a previously scheduled appointment. This includes ‘drop-in’ visits to bring forgotten scholar items, notes, lunches, etc. In cases of forgotten scholar items, please call the school to make drop-off arrangements.
