May 11th Field Day:

May 11th is scheduled as our annual field day. Currently, May 11th is scheduled as a full day of school with field day taking place in the morning. After reviewing teacher, student, and family feedback from previous field day events, we have decided to make May 11th a half day with dismissal at noon.

While May 11th is more than 2 months away, we wanted to notify you of this schedule change as soon as possible to allow enough time for you to make alternative arrangements. This schedule change will not impact our scheduled last day of school on May 25th. We are looking forward to a great field day this year. Please contact your child's principal or Dr. Schrimpf with any questions.

PCS Family Event:

Check out an opportunity to go to a Cardinal game with friends and families from PCS. Forms and payments due by May 4th. See more info on the link below.
