Information for Faculty and Staff
Everyone-please join us Friday for a lunch to celebrate the entire faculty and staff and volunteers!    Lunch will be in takeout boxes in the cafeteria staff lounge from  11:00 am-1:00 pm.  We want to thank you all for the awesome and endless work you do for our students and our school!

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week!  Special thanks to the PTA for organizing the daily events scheduled to celebrate all of you!  Teachers: Please stop by the PCNC office (via office hallway) each morning…
It will be the last week of resources this week.  We will be bidding farewell to Ms. Jessica Kainth, Ms. Lauren Brown and Coach Jeanie Cowan who all will not be returning next school year.  Thank you to all the PTTs for your service to our school this year!

As a reminder, subs are not provided for any PTTs out this week-teachers will have students during those blocks since there are no PLCs.  Please have something prepared just in case.

Information for Students
Please be sure to help celebrate your teachers this week!  Show them how much you appreciate them by working hard on your academics and having perfectly positive behavior!  Say THANK YOU for all they do for you! It is the last week of resources, so be sure to thank your resource day teachers for all of the fun classes they have provided over the year!

Please remember that there is a time and place for your snacks.  Snacks should be eaten during morning recess alongside the courts.  If you have a snack after lunch, it should also be eaten outside the courts.  Once recess has ended, your snacks need to be put away. We should not see students standing in line or walking through hallways or classrooms munching on snacks.  Make sure all trash is disposed of appropriately. Thanks for helping us keep our school clean!

Bus Safety-As a reminder-your behavior on the bus is monitored by video camera.  You are expected to follow all school rules, stay seated and NEVER stand up or put your arms or hands or heads out of the windows while the bus is in motion.  Do not throw anything on or out of the bus. Anything that can distract the driver is a safety issue-please help keep our buses safe!

Good Luck on standardized testing (SBA and iready diagnostics) this week!  Even if you scored well in the past--Always strive to do your best!

This Wednesday marks Administrative Professionals Day, and we want to take a moment to sincerely recognize and thank our exceptional office staff. Their dedication and support extend far beyond the expected, touching every corner of our school. From cheerfully greeting families – both the friendly and the more challenging – to ensuring the smooth execution of every event, our office team is truly the backbone of our school. They arrive early, stay late, manage our supplies, process our paychecks and scan our lunches, and, above all, always help to ensure the well-being of our students. Thank you for all that you do! In addition to celebrating our administrative professionals, this week we also gratefully acknowledge the vital contributions of our campus volunteers. Our PCNC, Kilohana Motas, and our active PTA work tirelessly to create meaningful volunteer opportunities that benefit our entire school.
