Important notice for parents wanting their students to be able to take laptops home:

On Thursday, October 27, at 6:30, in the P.C.M.S cafeteria there will be a meeting where parents can obtain necessary paperwork and information to allow their children to take their laptops home. Because it is necessary for parents to be able to get this important information, they must attend this meeting or make plans to come to school at another time to view the meeting on video.

Signed Activity Bus Permission Slips must be on file at the school in order for students participating in after school activities to ride the late bus.

UPCOMING EVENTS

· Friday, October 21, is the first scheduled dance at P.C.M.S. All students wanting to attend need to have a signed dance contract. These were passed out about three weeks ago.

If people would like to donate a toy or money call Carrie or drop off items at Guilford Key Bank, Guilford Rite Aid or the Guilford Library.

• The eighth grade is planning a school wide patriotic assembly to honor veterans of the SAD 4 communities.
