Parking Before & After School
We ask for your help in this matter. After you either drop-off or pick-up would you please make room by either finding a parking spot, or exiting the parking lot so that others can drop off their children. We appreciate your help in this matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Fitness Challenge for Heart Fundraiser
PCS Rocks!!! The students raised $1,905 for the American Heart Association this year!! Many thanks to all the families and friends who helped! Congratulations to Jack Johnson for raising the most money. We are amazed at the compassion and concern the students have for those with heart problems.
Here is the response from our American Heart Association representative:
“PCS raised a total of $1905!!! That is fantastic! The school will receive $160 in US Games gift certificates to be used towards PE Equipment. We are incredibly grateful for all of the support!”
Note from the Nurse
You can now find and print all health forms needed for your child on the PCS website. Forms include: the yearly physical form, prescription medication form, health form and standing order form. Our school medication and illness policies can also be found under this tab, along with Massachusetts immunization requirements. Having access to these forms will allow parents to print the forms out and mail/fax them to their physician or bring them to physician appointments where they can be filled out at the time of the visit. These forms are accessible by clicking the Parent tab and then the Health Services tab.
Please feel free to call the Health Office with any questions.
Mrs. Warburton
If your child is absent/tardy or being dismissed
If your child is being dismissed, for any reason, please inform the school no later 8:30 a.m. so the teacher can have your child ready for pick-up.
If your child will be a pick-up, please send in a note in the morning or call no later than 1:45 p.m. This will alleviate any angst or confusion for your child.
