Our students had a fantastic time during their recent trip to Preston High School to see the theater department’s performance of Shrek the Musical!
This special experience was more than just a fun day out—it was a wonderful opportunity for our students to get a glimpse of the exciting opportunities that await them beyond elementary school.
Students in grades K–4 who earned Perfect Attendance for the third grading period were surprised with this well-deserved trip. Their commitment to being present each and every day truly paid off!
Let this be a reminder: it pays to come to school all day, every day—you never know what exciting experiences might be waiting for you!

PCS Quarterly Highlights - Beat of Excellence - Winter/Early Spring Digital Edition (https://5il.co/3u0rn)
Although our students' and schools' accomplishments are highlighted regularly through Facebook(s) and our PCS Website(s), PCS will now be compiling a highlight of events of an extended period, publishing quarterly. In previous years and editions, our print magazine was funded through additional federal funds we no longer receive. Moving forward, we will print one magazine each year through parent engagement funding, typically at the start of the year, containing important information, documents, and a calendar, but then will quarterly post a "Beat of Excellence Highlight" online.

Also, with today's snow day, 3rd Grading Period Report Cards will now go out this Friday the 20th, as opposed to the 19th.
