Welcome to New Families

If your children will be riding the school bus, please look at our Transportation page.

Families,
We hope everyone enjoyed their winter recess time! Please see below for important upcoming dates for the remainder of the school year. Additionally, as many families are preparing to PCS it is vitally important to communicate with the school on when your student(s) are expected to withdraw. Regulations regarding this process are listed below as outlined in the student handbook.

Please keep in mind if your student will NOT be in full attendance the last quarter of the school year, the sponsor must request for an accelerated withdrawal and coordinate those requirements with the school and student’s teacher. This ensures the student will receive full credit for the school year.

Re-registration packages are scheduled to be delivered sometime in mid-April to early May for the 2013-2014 school year. Sure Start applications and Kindergarten registration dates are to be determined. Additional information will follow as those dates are determined.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to a successful and exciting 2013.
