BLACK & ORANGE
DAY:
Just for fun, we’re asking students to dress in black and orange on October 31.
We’ll also have a Merit Dollar Event that day!
HEALTHY STUDENTS,
HEALTHY SCHOOLS: On November 1 at 6:30 PM in the PCMS cafeteria Dr. David
McDermott will offer a presentation about the challenges of overweight youth
and what we are doing to address this issue in
STUDENT-LED CONFERENCES: At PCMS conferences
are held in a different format than at the elementary level. We have
student-led conferences, which means your child and you will meet to look at
and discuss his/her work and progress. Be aware that there will be other
parents and students in the room at the same time. Teachers will also be
available that night to discuss questions you may have. We will be preparing
the children in class for how to present their work to
you. You will soon be receiving a notice from Mr. Andrews, guidance counselor,
to schedule an appointment on November 9 or 10. We look forward to seeing you!
CHRISTMAS GIFTS: Are you already
thinking Christmas and tired of the same old toys for your children? Try
shopping at www.mindwareonline.com.
Their games and activities will keep your children busy long after the holiday
season is over!
