Message from the Principal

Dear PAS Families,


As of Friday, Penn Alexander families have raised an incredible $20,529 for SNAP relief at our school! This generosity will directly support our families and staff facing food insecurity and strengthen our community’s commitment to caring for one another. Thank you to every family who contributed — your kindness truly makes a difference.


Tomorrow, 6th grade families are hosting staff breakfast. Families can drop-off items at 7:30am at the front door. Sign up to bring in something HERE.


On Wednesday,  Picture Day has arrived!  All students will be photographed regardless of purchasing a package or not. Bring your smile, patience and don't forget to wear your PAS uniform.  8th graders will be photographed in their graduation gown. 


Also by Wednesday, look for Term 1 Marking Period parent-teacher conference meeting times from your child's teacher. This is a time for parents to meet with teacher regarding your child's progress.  Conference dates are November 24-25.

Sincerely,

Principal Overton
