Hello Wonderful Bobcats!
I cannot believe we are on the downhill slope of November! Our students continue to be amazing: they hosted a pancake breakfast for staff and a staff coffee time next week. As we continue with the school year, I would like to provide a couple of reminders for our students.
For safety reasons (and time), PWCS does not have an open campus for lunch, nor does it allow students to eat in their cars. Your support is greatly appreciated in this matter.
The cell phone policy has been going pretty well, for the most part. We do encourage students to not use their air pods/ear pods during class unless specifically asked to do so as part of the instruction.
As a reminder, schools and offices will be closed Wed, 11/27-Fri, 11/29. We wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. The Bobcast will return on Fri, 12/06.
