PES Principal Message

Class of 2023 former Puster students visited this week for our annual Senior Breakfast.
We have a lot of fun and celebrations still to come! Please take advantage of our Fast Pass opportunities below if you plan to attend. For safety purposes, when visiting, we ask that you attend the event intended and not head to other areas of the building without notifying the front office. Please do NOT go to classrooms to retrieve siblings. All student check outs must go through the front office. We are looking forward to enjoying these last few days with our students and families!
With all of the celebrations and fun comes our need for parking on campus. You may continue to use the front and back parking lots. You may park along Stoddard Rd. - be mindful you are not blocking private drives and/or parking in the "no parking" area at the corner of Hart and Stoddard. With the addition of our new playground, the back field is no longer a parking option. Golf carts are welcome - feel free to park those in the grassy area at the front of the building or in the courtyard area near the bike rack. Carpooling is also a great idea!
If I don't get a chance to see you and tell you personally next week, THANK YOU! Our Puster community is very special and a huge part of what makes Puster Elementary the place we love to be!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Puster Proud,
Holly

Paige pours her heart into her students and the art studio. She helps each individual student to see themselves as a true artist. She is creative in her lesson design and delivery. Paige is incredibly reliable and an awesome teammate.
DeAmber Perkins, Paraprofessional
DeAmber is a difference - maker. She is quite and unassuming, but makes a huge difference in the lives of the students she works with. She is humble in her work. She is highly thought of by our faculty and parents and we are so grateful she is on our team.
