Comprehensive Sexual Education - 8th Grade
Last week, our PE department sent out an email regarding comprehensive sexual education for 8th graders. The curriculum starts next week. Please take a moment to check your email for more information.
After-School Pickup
I wanted to let you know that starting today, there will be traffic cones in front of our driveway. Please do not park there as it causes a safety risk for our students crossing the street. Thank you for helping to keep everyone safe.

Principal Chat - 1/14/24
Families are invited to a principal chat on January 14. We have been doing some work around Poynter's vision. I will be updating families on this work and getting feedback to help inform our choices. Below, you'll see a word cloud that combines the values that Poynter staff, students, and families have identified as important. We will meet in the library at 6:00pm.
