Pleasant Grove Elementary Updates

Sept. 30, 2024

Welcome to PGES!

Discovery Club meets each Thursday from 3:00-4:00. The Discovery Club students must be picked on time.

Robotics Team practice is Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 2:30 - 4:30.

Newcomb Team Tryouts are tomorrow. If you haven't turned in your students' slip, please email Coach Phillips at btphillips@jefcoed.com

Arrival starts at 7:15 in the car rider line. Classes begin at 7:45 sharp. Only parents of PreK students are walked across the crosswalk during arrival. No students should be dropped off in the parking lot or main road as this is a safety concern. Afternoon dismissal for Prek students is at 2:15 daily. We will dismiss student car riders in K-5 in the car rider line starting at 2:45. Walkers will be dismissed at 3:15 daily. Parents must have a car tag or will have to drive around to the main office to show ID to pick up a car tag. This is for the safety of our students. Buses will run as usual. Remember, many students fall asleep, ask to go the restroom, doesn't recognize their car, etc during the car line after summer break from being out of their routine. Please use your patience as we dismiss all students safely. After the students get into their routine, the car line ends daily at 3:20.
