Greetings Falcon Families!
It was a short fast paced week this last week at PES! We thank all grandparents that came out for the Grandparents Lunch. We had 350+ visitors to campus that day. For those of you that weren't able to make it, please know you can join us any day.
This last week we practiced our Lock Out Drill. Your child may not have shared this with you as it is a drill that is very seamless and they may not have noticed it. In the event there was an external concern/threat, we would use this. As a campus, we continue to work as usual and ensure that all of our perimeter doors are locked and no one is let in the building.
If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Lara

Hispanic Heritage Month

During this month, students will be learning about Hispanic figures that have made a positive contribution to our great country.
