Our concert dismissal will be as follows:

K-2: At the end of the concert, parents will sign out their students with the classroom teachers. Teachers will remain in the gym. Parents will walk students to the K-2 wing and students will get backpacks off their hooks.

3-5: Parents will sign out their students with the classroom teachers. Students will have left their backpacks in the main hall. Students will walk up to the hall, get their backpacks, and meet their parents. Teachers will remain in the gym.

As I mentioned, your new principal, Mrs. Willette came to our staff LSW meeting on Wednesday morning. She then joined us in greeting students as they arrived and spent time in each classroom. We are excited to welcome her to PES!
