Thanksgiving Break - No School 11/22 - 11/26

A message from Dr. Julie Frugo:

We are so thankful to be back in person connecting and learning this school year, but know there have been real challenges that we are still facing as a school community. The transition back to an in person school year we are more accustomed to has required even more stamina than usual from our PCS students, staff and families. From quarantines to heightened levels of stress and anxiety alongside targeting individualized academic supports for our students, the teachers and staff have been carrying a lot.

As a school who focuses on whole child development we know the importance of prioritizing our team’s health and well being as well. We know helping our adults practice balance and self care is critical in order to create an environment where our students engage in experiences that impact their development, character, and overall health and well-being. With that being said we are proposing to our Board an addendum to our calendar for Thanksgiving week. We are hoping to extend the week off by making Monday the 22nd and Tuesday the 23rd no school days. Our hope is to give a couple extra days to spend with family and friends so the team can recharge and be ready to continue to give their best to our kids and families moving forward. Although this will not be made official until the board approves, we realize this will require some time to put plans in place for your family so we wanted to give a heads up that this is in the works.

As always we appreciate your partnership and understanding during these unprecedented times.
