Message from the Principal

Dear PAS Families,


Our Scholastic Book Fair has arrived early!  We'll be open for class visits starting tomorrow and we have added family hours on Wednesday from 3-5pm.  If you would like your child to shop at the fair with their class, there is an option to set up an eWallet.  Students can also create wishlists and bring those home to show you what they would like to purchase.  More volunteers are also needed to staff the bookfair.  Volunteers will receive a free book up to $10. Sign up HERE.


If you haven't signed up for a parent-teacher conference session on November 24-25, please be in touch with your child's teacher. This is an important opportunity for parents to learn about your child's academic progress. 


On Monday, the School Advisory Council (SAC) will be meeting in the Library at 3:45pm.  All are welcome to attend. 


Please plan now for 12:09pm dismissals on November 23, 24, 25. There will be no afterschool clubs on these days as well.

Sincerely,

Principal Overton
