February 27th, 2026 Principal's Message
Hello Blevins Families,
Please join us for our 3rd Quarter School Accountability Committee (SAC) meeting on Tuesday night, 5:30-7pm. This meeting will be focused on receiving feedback regarding PSD's Comprehensive Planning Committee, which is tasked with addressing the concerns around declining student enrollment throughout our district. We hope to receive feedback regarding how to best partner with families in this process and that feedback will be passed on to the district committee. I look forward to your partnership, as always!
A huge shout out to Choir students for an outstanding performance last night at their concert. We're proud of the work that they have put in throughout the year and the way in which Mr. Floyd prepares them for success.
With March just around the corner, we are preparing for the final games and matches of our Girls' Basketball and Wrestling seasons. Let's cheer them on as they finish their season strong!
Have a wonderful weekend and we can't wait to see our Bruins on Monday.
Proudly,
Joe Zappa, Principal
