PCS Fall Open House Date
Note from Nicole (Guidance)
Hello Everyone,
Firstly thank you everyone for being so kind and welcoming. PCS is very different from where I come from so I really appreciate your patience and help as I get settled. Since I am only part time I wanted everyone to know when I will be in and available. Please know I will check my email from home and will do my best to respond within a reasonable amount of time however my full time job of being a mom can get busy :)
Projected days I will be in:
Tuesday 11th
Thursday 13th
Monday 17th - staying for PLC
Thursday 20th
Monday 24th -staying for reunification
Thursday 27th
Starting in October my days will primarily be Tuesdays and Thursdays with maybe an exception from time to time. I will let you all know of any changes.
I look forward to working with everyone and I'm very excited about the school year ahead.
Thanks
Nicole
