31 MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL til the End of this School Year!
The last 31 days of school are going to be busy days for all of us! SOL Testing begins May 9th. See the schedule of SOL testing dates at the bottom of this letter and mark your calendars. We also have our field days and 5th Grade promotion to look forward to!
The safety of our school staff and students is always our priority. We want to remind all parents and visitors that when you visit our building, you will need to ring the doorbell, talk with the front office about why you are coming to the school, and have your photo ID ready. This is the first layer in our safety protocols across PWCS to ensure we check in with ALL visitors. In addition to this, please ensure only YOU enter the building when the office buzzes you to enter. While it's polite to hold the door for others, in this instance, every visitor should ring the doorbell separately and wait for the office to speak with them before entering the building.
KG REGISTRATION
Kindergarten Registration for 2022-2023 is open! Please register your younger children as soon as possible at the link: https://www.pwcs.edu/cms/One.aspx?portalId=340225&pageId=775554

SUMMER SCHOOL
PWCS offers summer academic and enrichment opportunities for students in grades K-12. These summer offerings help mitigate summer learning loss and prepare students for future learning experiences, which ultimately leads to improved student achievement.
PWCS Summer School program students will participate in person, five days a week. The Summer School Academy programs will offer a virtual option for grades K-8.
Visit the Summer School webpage for more about offerings and to register.
