Happy (snowy) Thursday Families!
This snow day definitely snuck up on us! I hope you are all cozy and well as you work on Remote Learning activities. Please be sure to turn those in as soon as possible when we return (which should be tomorrow!). Here are a few updated dates and information for you as we move into next week:
There will be NO Duty Free Lunch tomorrow (2/6). We appreciate our volunteers willingness, but feel it is important to not ask more of you as you've been home with students this week and last! We do have a volunteer opportunity with the Book Fair (February 23rd-26th). Please see this link to sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0548AAAE28A0F58-62149574-book
The Valentine Gram sale will be extended through next Wednesday.
Progress Reports will still go home now on the 13th to give teachers time to update grades based on completed Remote Learning Assignments.

February 16th and 17th are Teacher Workdays and No School for Students
February 24th- Chick-Fil-A Night 5-7pm
February 27th- All Pro Dad (Doors open at 7am)
Good Afternoon Parents!
What a wild week this past week was!? We are thankful we got to have students back in the building Thursday and Friday.
Teachers have sent home another remote packet just in case we happen to need to be remote again next week. Please do not have students complete the NEW packet until further information is given.
Remote packets from this past week MUST be turned in by this Wednesday, February 4th, to receive credit. Remote work is not optional as it is what counts as our instructional day. Thank you for helping us with this- if you have any questions about the assignments please reach out to your child’s teacher. They are happy to help give guidance.
This Friday, February 6th, is Duty Free Lunch for teachers. We appreciate our volunteers who pivoted to support our staff this week!
Chick-fil-a Night is Feb. 3rd from 5-7
Valentine Grams go on sale on Monday! Fill out the Valentine Gram and send with your money and PTO will distribute them.
Class Picture Day is February 10th.
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy any snow that may be brought our way!
Good Afternoon Eagle Families!
As you all have seen and heard, there seems to be some wintry weather headed our way! Teachers have sent home small packets of "remote" work to do just in case! Please do not have your student complete these until Dr. Allen, our Superintendent, has indicated a Remote Learning Day. Any information regarding school closures will not come about until Sunday. Let's all put our white crayons in the windowsills tonight and hope for a little more snow than ice!!
Below you will find an image with a short bio and photo of our new Kintegra School-based Therapist, DeShana Norris. We are thrilled to have her on campus to support the students of PCP and PCI. If you feel that your student might could benefit from school based therapy, please feel free to reach out and Mrs. Costa (School Counselor) can connect you with Mrs. Norris. Supporting our students' emotional health early on can be vital and so important to their overall health, well-being and of course academics.
