Memorial Day Celebrations
On Thursday, May 23rd, we will be holding a PCS Memorial Day Celebration for the community. Weather permitting, we will be holding it outside near the well house and flag pole. Our band and chorus will perform, as well as each class playing a part in the celebration.
On Monday, May 27th, the town of Petersham will be holding their annual Memorial Day Celebration. If your family is going to be present, and your child would like to be part of our PCS part in the program, please just give me a call! The town-wide celebration begins at 9:30 a.m.
Visit with Clif Read from Department of Conservation and Recreation
We thank Mr. Read for coming to PCS and sharing his expertise in an engaging way!
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.

Note from Curriculum Director Cole
Here is the link for the flurry folder survey, please complete as we would like your feedback!
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.

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.
