School may have ended last week, but it's never too late to give shout outs to our educators. This one goes out to our teacher librarians who handled the demanding task of chromebook returns during the last week of school! THANK YOU! #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
June is Pride Month. Pride Month began as protests by LGBTQ people to confront discrimination in the fight for equality in the 1970s. Pride Month is an opportunity to show support and raise awareness about LGBTQ+ rights.
Today we wrapped up the 20-21 school year! Earlier in the week, summer packets were sent home. Students returning completed summer packets on the first day of the 21-22 school year will be placed in a drawing for a bicycle. Have a fantastic summer and we will see you in August 16th.
We made it! Congratulations to students and staff - today is the last day of school. Who is ready for summer?

Important information about chromebooks!
Chromebooks for the Traditional and “A” day students will be taken up during school on Monday, May 24th
Chromebooks for Virtual and “B” day students will be taken up, Wednesday afternoon, May 26th. You may return your child’s chromebook and charger to the school from 12:30pm-3:30pm. Someone will take the chromebook from you at the media center door.
Your student’s Chromebook will be assessed for any damage and/or missing components. A fine letter will be sent through School Status and a paper copy sent home if your student is at school. If your information has not been updated, contact the front office ASAP. Please remember that if your child owes for damages to his/her chromebook and they are not paid before next year, he/she will not be able to receive a new chromebook and will be given a loaner.
If you have any questions, please email Jaime Lyons at jlyons8062@pcssd.org
Appreciatively,
Jaime Lyons, Teacher Librarian
