Pacific Sky Family Update
Principal's Weekly Message 8/27 - 9/1
Dear Pacific Sky Families,
We had another great week of learning and playing at Pacific Sky… two-for-two, so far! This past week our Pilots engaged in a variety of learning opportunities that assisted our staff in figuring out their individual strengths and areas of need. This helps our teachers begin to pave a path to meet each child where they are and move each Pilot along on their individual learning continuum toward personal growth.
It was wonderful to meet with those of you who were able to attend our PTA Meeting and Principal Chat. I appreciate and value our time together and look forward to continuing to partner with you throughout the school year.
To get a glimpse into the life of Pilot, check us out on Instagram HERE.
With Great Pilot Pride,
Chelsea Moore, Principal
