Posted on by pcsprincipal

Hello Families,

One more week until break! This year is flying by and it’s a little hard to believe 2024 is almost done. Many students are looking forward to not having schoolwork for a couple of weeks but we hope they are ready to learn again come January 🙂

Wishing each one of you a blessed Christmas and peaceful holiday season!

Mrs. Atherton

This Coming Week

  • Wed Dec 18 – 6:00 pm – Christmas program. Students need to arrive at 5:30 and meet in their homerooms. Please see note going home today for more details.
  • Thu Dec 19 – Deadline for ordering hot lunches for Jan/Feb. Please put your orders in here.
  • Fri Dec 20 – Noon dismissal. There will be regular bussing in the morning out to school but only one bus back to town at lunch time. If at all possible, we encourage parents to come pick their kids up at noon to help manage the gifts, food, and locker clean out.

Looking Ahead

  • Jan 6 – First day back to school
  • Jan 24 – Bear Mtn Ski day
  • Jan 31 – Non-instructional day

Good to Know

  • Most of you participated in our survey regarding school on days when busses are cancelled – thank you! Our board reviewed the results and have decided to keep the current policy as 85% of you are ok or happy with it. However, the majority of you are willing to coordinate learning with students at home for the day so we will put plans in place to communicate learning expectations for the next day when busses are cancelled.
  • We value and need input from our community! In January, we will be doing a school-wide survey about our overall culture for students, parents, and staff. This helps us know what we are doing well and what areas we need to focus on for changes. All responses will be anonymous. Please see the attached letters for more details or if you do not want your child to participate.

Shout Outs

  • To our parents volunteering for the holiday shop. Our students have been busy buying gifts for their loved ones today. Thank you to all who supported this event!
  • To Uzziah, Joey, Ethan C, Hannah, Alana, Fiona, Angelique and Summer for showing Bravery in the month of November!

Verse of the Week – Isaiah 9:6

For a child is born to us,
a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called:
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
