Share Your Story!
This year PAS is focusing on the Harlem Renaissance: From a Spark to a Movement! In March we will have a gallery walk, similar to last year's celebration of Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander. All year long, we aim to support student learning by centering marginalized voices in the school community and uplifting opportunities for students to see themselves and others in their classrooms. We are excited to celebrate and honor the history, culture, and influence of current and past generations. Share your story HERE.

Help Gain Sponsorships for PAS
Connect us to Potential Generous Businesses or
Help Solicit Sponsors or Prizes
We have two big events coming up that need sponsorships from businesses: the 5K and the spring musical. The 5K has sponsorships ranging from $250-$3,500. Sponsors get their logo on the race t-shirt and potentially other perks. We also need prizes donated for the race -- gift certificates, free passes, tickets, products, etc. The musical has program sponsorships ranging from $100-$1500. Sponsors (and parents) can create an ad for the program. The bigger the sponsorship, the bigger and more prominent the ad.
We also need help contacting businesses and asking if they are interested in becoming a sponsor. If you can recommend or solicit any businesses, please let us know by submitting the sponsorship form!

Fill out a Google Form for ALL Absences
In an effort to increase efficiency for the staff and to ease and improve communication between teachers, staff, and families, a new Google form has been created for parents to use for all absences. Please use this electronic form to submit an excuse for your child's absence from school within three days of the absence. A doctor's note must be provided for three consecutive days of absence. After 10 parent excuses, a doctor's note will be required.
