Today we’re starting a new feature called our Student Spotlight. We want to recognize kids that are putting in outstanding effort, trying their best, and being respectful citizens.
Our first student spotlight is 5th grader Ainsley Cox. Ainsley is in Mrs. Burnsworth’s class and Mrs. Burnsworth says that she is always respectful, tries her best, and puts in extra work to make sure she has a good solid grasp on her lessons.
Some of our kindergarten students got an early start eating buckwheat cakes last week. Thanks to Miss Hudson’s middle school students for helping out!

Teachers were notified late today and will spend Tuesday and Wednesday preparing for full remote learning which begins on Thursday, September 16th. Students may have paper assignments to complete or will have online assignments on Tuesday and Wednesday. Therefore, students should continue to login to Seesaw and Schoology to check for assignments. Students should continue lessons already assigned, practice reading and math skills on iReady (K-8) and Exact Path (9-12) and complete any other lessons assigned by their classroom teachers. Directions will follow on how to sign up for weekly meal boxes that will be delivered to your homes. Here is the link to Mr. Wotring's announcement https://youtu.be/c6GWceGvOlE
The next time you receive a text message from PCS it will come from 98900 and NOT 98901 and it will automatically send a CTIA compliant opt-in OR opt-out text with necessary disclaimers. So carefully read your next text message. (This message was not sent as a text.) If you are not receiving text messages yet it is because secretaries are in to process of changing phone numbers from the Online Information Form you filled out.
