Happy April Break, PCS Families! Students in Pre-K to grade 5 will be bringing home Student Learning Information sheets today.  These pieces of information are used to help us create the best learning communities for next year, so your input is important and valued!  Those sheets are due back to your child's homeroom teacher by April 26. We think we have made it through the snow days, so as of right now the last student day is June 19, which will be a half day (12:00 dismissal) for students.  We will very shortly be getting out a list of all of the important dates for the end of the year, so keep watching for that! We hope everyone has a restful break, and look forward to seeing all of our students back here on April 22nd!

I took 3 students from PCS to Deering High School for the District II Elementary Music Festival.  I am so proud of them for adhering to the PCS values of Safe, Respectful, and Responsible the ENTIRE TIME.  They have been preparing music for a couple months and had flawless rehearsal etiquette at the festival.  Here are pictures of the festival attached. -Mrs. MacFarland

Way to go Ruby Taylor, Emma MacMahon, and Elise Landry!
