PCMS WEEKLY UPDATE
December 6, 2019
Our friends from PCHS spread a little Holiday Cheer yesterday with their annual Winter Choir Tour. We enjoyed several performances from their Concert Choir and Sound Express - if you haven’t heard them before, you’re missing out! It was great to see so many of our former students performing. However, the icing on the cake was watching our 8th-grade choir take the floor and sing a tune with them!
Today we helped send off the Pirate Football Team as they left for the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP game by lining the streets in front of the school. It was awesome to see all 700+ of our Pirates cheering as the buses drove by. Proud day to be a Pirate for sure!
*Winter Break Begins Dec 23 ~ Students Return Jan 6*
PCHS Football is State Bound!
Don’t miss the PTO Holiday Mart tomorrow!!!
Food Service Notice: No Salads Served Until Further Notice
Southwest Foods, our food service provider, has shared that due to a recent outbreak of E. coli in romaine lettuce, they will not be serving any type of salad mix until further notice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Southwest will be ensuring ample vegetarian menu options will remain available. Thank you for your understanding! #SafetyFirst
Note to the Parents of 6th Grade Students
Earlier this fall, we sent home your student's MAP Math and ELA test scores. Due to a later release date, we were not able to send the Science scores from Spring 2019 testing at that time. We did, however, give this Science Student Report to your student this week. Please ask them for it if you have not seen it yet.
Your child’s Individual Student Report (ISR), includes an Achievement Level, which will describe his or her performance as Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, or Advanced. The report will also include a short description of the knowledge and skills that are typically demonstrated by students in each Achievement Level.
As always, if you have any questions, please give us a call!
Do you want to know where your child is on PLC Days?
It’s not too late to sign up for this program run by the YMCA and held at PCMS! You can sign up by clicking on the following link: YMCA / PLC Day at PCMS
