Hi Panthers! Tomorrow is costume day! Students are welcome to come to school dressed in their costumes. Please make sure that costumes are school appropriate with no fake weapons or other props. If a costume accessory becomes a distraction, teachers may ask the student to remove it during instructional times. Thanks to our FVDE parent group, all of our students will get some special treats tomorrow to celebrate!
Also, this is a reminder that today was the official last day of the first quarter! Next week, we have family teacher conferences on Tuesday night from 5:00 - 7:00 pm. Some teachers will be sending out specific sign-up information. Report cards will be available that evening as well.
Have a great week!
In celebration of Farm to School month, PCS will be serving sausage gravy over biscuits for lunch on Thursday, October 27. The sausage will be supplied by PHS Animal Processing.
Important Reminders for the MS Halloween Dance!
Students cannot attend an evening school event if they were absent from school during the same day. The only exception is if you can provide documentation of an excused absence (such as a dentist appointment). If this applies to your student, please contact Ms. McDonald via email or phone between 1 - 3:00 pm in order to get permission to attend.
Reminder that the dance is from 7 - 9:00 tonight, and this is for 6 - 8th grade West Preston students only. Hope to see you there!
Don't forgot about Stem Night tonight! 5:00 - 7:00 pm!
We have so many exciting activities for the whole family. The Heavenly Hoagies food truck will also be here for dinner! Their specials are loaded baked potatoes, jumbo cinnamon rolls, and chocolate peanut butter cream pie!
We hope to see you soon!
Just a reminder that PCS will be dismissing 2 hours early on Friday, October 21, 2022.
