Message from the Principal

Dear PAS Families,

 

We need your voice! Penn Alexander is a Title I school, and your feedback helps shape the programs and supports we provide for our students and families. 


Please take a few minutes to complete this  very short survey with open-ended questions: 👉 Title I Survey.  


Your input is invaluable in making sure our school community continues to grow stronger and meet the needs of every child. 


Thursday is our first Pretzel Day. Pre-order for pretzels and dress-down days for the whole year HERE or send in $2 on Thursday if your child would like a pretzel.  


Friday is our firstCoffee with the Principal paired with HSA Meeting, 8:45 AM in the cafeteria and virtually.  We will update families on our plans to restore the field to a healthy and safe play space.

Sincerely,

Principal Overton
