May is Mental Health Awareness Month
In partnership with the National Alliance on Mental Illness, PWCS recognizes May as Mental Health Awareness Month. This year's message is "More Than Enough," emphasizing that all people–with and without mental health challenges–are worthy of respect, inclusion, and care. Our school division and community strives to reduce the mental health stigma and provide education and resources to support everyone’s journey toward wellness. Prioritizing mental health from childhood through adulthood is essential in maintaining a healthy, balanced life. Each week in May will highlight mental health initiatives empowering our community to feel a sense of inclusion, support, and encouragement.

New Security System
We are happy to share that the work to officially upgrade our security cameras is complete. Along with Mr. Brown's (Security Assistant), we successfully placed cameras to have maximum visual presence both inside and outside the school to ensure the safety of our students and staff at all times. The images are crisper, the cameras have a better range, we have more access to the cameras, and much more!
More Safety Measures in Place
As many of you have noticed, the bus loop has now been blocked at the bottom of the loop. The sign itself wasn't working as we still had visitors pulling up to the front door. With nicer weather this spring and kids going out to the playground almost daily, we felt it was important to keep cars away from that areas as much as possible. There will also be numerous celebrations that may occur outside as well. We also installed a chain leading into the playground to ensure no vehicles had access to this area. We can't be too careful when it comes to safety. Lastly, as a gentle reminder, if you need to get your child early, please do so before 3:30pm. Thank you!
