Pacific Sky Family Update
Principal's Weekly Message 9/3-9/8
Dear Pacific Sky Families,
It is hard to believe we will be heading into our fourth week of the 2023-2024 school year… the days are simply flying by! Our students and staff have worked hard to build dynamic classroom communities; and from the smiles, laughter, energy, high levels of participation, and “a-ha” moments that fill the days here at Pacific Sky they seem to be enjoying the teaching and learning process with one another.
It’s been pretty warm outside, so please make sure you send your child to school with a refillable water bottle. Our students have access to water-bottle-fillers throughout each day and it would be extremely helpful if they bring water bottles with them to help them remain hydrated during this super-hot weather.
Lastly, we kindly ask that parents begin to exit our gates after the 7:58am warning bell. This allows staff to safely secure all school gates promptly at 8:00am to ensure student safety. During the school day, we only have one point of entry and exit, which is through our front office. Thank you, in advance, for your help with this.
With Great Pilot Pride,
Chelsea Moore, Principal
