Message from the Principal

Dear PAS Families,


Back to School Night is this week!  Please read the schedule  to find the session times that work best for you.  We'll have guides displayed to help you find your way to the classrooms.


Our first schoolwide half day is on Friday. Dismissal is at 12:09pm.  Please make arrangements for early dismissal pick up.  Friday is also our first Dress Down Day sponsored by Student Council.   Please remember all other uniform guidelines apply.


Congratulations to Josephine Mills, Oswald Oboril, Keira Taylor, Bethany Chang, and Simon Campbell  on the selection of their artwork for the prestigious Art in City Hall exhibition!  The exhibit will showcase 250 students from 20 schools districtwide. Shout out to Ms. Falcon for sponsoring this opportunity for our students.

Sincerely,

Principal Overton

Monthly Staff Appreciation Breakfasts

We are excited to formally introduce our family-led Teacher & Staff Appreciation Breakfast Program!

This program was developed last year, as an effort to help our PAS Teachers & Staff feel our support and love year-round. It was a huge success, with many teachers and staff members telling us how much they loved and appreciated it.

As part of this program, we will ask each grade at PAS to host ONE breakfast during the school year. On a designated date, families from the grade will be asked to bring home-baked goods, juice, and other contributions to provide a special breakfast for all our teachers and staff.

The first date is Monday, September 22, hosted by 8th grade families...more details and a sign up link to follow soon!
