Message from the Principal

We hope you had a fantastic summer! Our team has been working hard to prepare for a wonderful school year. This year, we are excited to launch a schoolwide theme of "One School, Many Stories." We look forward to collaborating with families, teachers, and students to use storytelling as a community to connect, learn, and grow. If you want to read more about this work, please read my blog post here. 

We are excited to welcome your children TOMORROW, Tuesday at 8:30 AM

Breakfast is available daily at 8:00 AM in the cafeteria. Students may enter through the blacktop if they need breakfast. 

All K-4 students should report to the blacktop on 43rd Street. We'd like to ask families to remain outside of the gate so we can ensure students and staff have space for safe entry.  All 5-8 students report to the field. Cones will be placed on the blacktop and field with your child's homeroom number. Teachers will hold signs with their class numbers displayed. PAS staff will be available to help you and your child find their class.

Dismissal is at 3:09pm at the same locations.  PAS is NOT on the district list for early dismissals due to heat on Tuesday or Wednesday.  PAS has air conditioning.

Please send your child with ANY AND ALL CHROMEBOOK CHARGERS that you may have around your home, and if your child attend summer school, please have them bring their chromebook and charger. 

Check out our calendar below for the Ice Cream Social, Back to School Night and other important dates. We look forward to seeing you on tomorrow!


ps - don't forget your chromebook charger!
