PES serves our community by preparing all students in a safe and nurturing environment to be critical thinkers, productive citizens and thrivers with admirable character.

As November begins, our district-wide "Level Up" attendance challenge is unlocking a brand-new game mode! This month, our elementary campuses are entering "Co-Op / Multiplayer Mode"focusing on teamwork, supporting classmates, and building a kind, positive school community where every player matters.

In elementary school, learning is a team sport. Whether it's small group reading, hands-on science experiments, or playground games, every student plays an important role in their classroom squad. When students show up every day, they don't just collect their own learning power-ups—they help their friends learn, grow, and succeed too!

How Co-Op Mode Helps Our Young Learners Win:

• 🎮 Classroom Squad Power: Group projects, partner games, and class discussions work best when all squad members are present. Consistent attendance ensures no team member falls behind or misses out on team activities.

• 🌟 Building Strong Friendships: Classrooms feel like home when everyone is together. Daily attendance helps children build trust, develop empathy, practice social skills, and make lasting friendships.

• ⚡ Unlocking Whole-Class Rewards: When students work together to maintain their attendance streaks, they unlock class-wide XP, special activities, and team rewards faster!

• ⏰ Steady Morning Routines: Keeping reliable evening and morning routines acts as a protective shield, helping your child spawn into the classroom on time and ready to join their team.

Need a Co-Op Assist?

Great teams take care of their players! If your family is experiencing morning routine challenges, illness questions, or attendance barriers, please reach out to our front office or school counselor. We are here to help your student stay on track and feel supported every day.

Thank you for partnering with us to build a caring, connected school community. Let’s team up and Level Up together this November!

One great new feature is the ability to create your own Raptor Passport for a faster, more streamlined sign-in experience.

Here’s how to get started:

1. Download the Raptor Safe app on your smartphone.
2. Scan the QR code (located in the main office) to begin creating your Raptor Passport.
3. Complete the setup process in the app.

Once your Raptor Passport is created, you’ll be able to check in using just your cellphone — no ID required!

We encourage everyone who frequently visits our building to set up their Raptor Passport in advance to make future check-ins quick and easy.
