Reminder:

A number of students still have not purchased a calculator and need one, as soon as possible, in order to complete their math.  Finding means of data sets consisting of 20 or more pieces of information, determining square roots and working through other complex calculations is very time intensive without the use of a calculator.  Calculators are still available for $ 9.00 in the office.

NOTE: 

Friday, Oct. 8th is an early release day.

Fall Break – Oct 11 – 15 (Enjoy!  Be Safe!)

Parents may receive their PowerSchool ID and Password by coming into the PCMS office.  (Your web ID’s and Passwords are the same as last year.)
