📚🏆 We have a new Beanstack champ! 🏆📚
The reading trophy has officially packed its bags and moved to Terra Alta! With an impressive 108,668 minutes read, they claimed the title as our monthly Beanstack Reading Winner. Way to go, readers! 👏✨
But don’t count Aurora out just yet… they’ve already sworn they’re coming back to win it next month. 👀🔥
Who will reign supreme in the next reading showdown? Will a new school sneak up and take over? Keep those pages turning! 📖💙 #PCSREADS #BEANSTACK

Your child received their copy of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library yesterday along with a reading schedule and a weekly family activity. Please make sure your child is reading along with the rest of the school as they will be competing in Kahoot games and trivia competitions throughout the next five weeks. Be sure to log those minutes on Beanstack!

Is your child struggling to read? Please join us as we share strategies you can use at home to help your child be successful. Please see the flyer for additional details.

Due to having no in-person school this week and delivery routes being impeded, all schools will be on "Cook's Choice" next week, and we will pick up with the regularly planned menus on February 9th. Each school's Facebook page will have their updated menu for the week.

As of now, following this past week of inclement weather to our state and area, PCS has exhausted all allotted Snow Days and Non-Traditional Instruction (Brain Freeze) Days. Due to the 6th Snow Day called on January 27th, as of now, April 7th is an Instructional Day for Students. Due to the severity of this past weekend's and week's winter storm, if the State Department would choose to grant waivers or exceptions to days' used, we will communicate that and adjust the calendar accordingly.
