PCS Bulldog Bulletin

Dear PCS Families,

As we welcome a small bit of cooler weather, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible start we’ve had to the school year. It’s hard to believe we are already seven weeks into the school year, and yet, the growth we’ve seen in our students is both exciting and inspiring!

Academic growth is in full bloom as our students tackle learning with curiosity, engagement, and meaningful learning. Most importantly, it is inspiring to see how students are taking ownership of their learning.

Equally important is the social and emotional growth that is happening each day. From the youngest learners to our older students, we’re seeing increased empathy, collaboration, and confidence. Our Leader in Me lessons are helping build skills to navigate friendships, express emotions appropriately, and create a school-wide culture of trust and empowerment. Ultimately, the most important goal is to ensure our students are equipped with 21st-century skills for academic and personal success. It's heartening to see students encouraging one another, learning to solve conflicts respectfully, and showing kindness both in the classroom and throughout the campus. These are the skills that will serve them not only in school but throughout life—and we thank you for reinforcing these values at home.

Looking Ahead
October brings a host of exciting events, including Homecoming, spirit days, and planning for our Fall Festival in November, which is a great opportunity to come together as a school community and celebrate all the things that make our school special. Make sure to check out the calendar below!

As always, we are grateful for your partnership and support. Your involvement—whether through attending events, helping with homework, or simply asking about your child’s day—makes a meaningful difference in their success.

Thank you for helping us build a school community where every child can grow—academically, socially, and emotionally.

Estimadas familias de PCS:

Con la llegada del frío, quiero reflexionar sobre el increíble comienzo del año escolar. Es difícil creer que ya llevamos siete semanas de clases, y sin embargo, ¡el crecimiento que hemos visto en nuestros estudiantes es emocionante e inspirador!

El crecimiento académico está en pleno auge, ya que nuestros estudiantes abordan el aprendizaje con curiosidad, participación y un aprendizaje significativo. Y lo más importante, es inspirador ver cómo los estudiantes se responsabilizan de su aprendizaje.

Igualmente importante es el crecimiento social y emocional que se produce a diario. Desde los más pequeños hasta los mayores, observamos una mayor empatía, colaboración y confianza. Nuestras clases de "Líder en Mí" están ayudando a desarrollar habilidades para forjar amistades, expresar emociones adecuadamente y crear una cultura de confianza y empoderamiento en toda la escuela. En definitiva, el objetivo más importante es garantizar que nuestros estudiantes cuenten con las habilidades del siglo XXI para el éxito académico y personal. Es alentador ver a los estudiantes animándose mutuamente, aprendiendo a resolver conflictos con respeto y mostrando amabilidad tanto en el aula como en todo el campus. Estas son las habilidades que les serán útiles no solo en la escuela, sino a lo largo de la vida, y les agradecemos por reforzar estos valores en casa.

Mirando hacia el futuro

Octubre trae consigo una gran cantidad de eventos emocionantes, como la Fiesta de Bienvenida, los días de espíritu escolar y la planificación de nuestro Festival de Otoño en noviembre, que es una gran oportunidad para unirnos como comunidad escolar y celebrar todo lo que hace especial a nuestra escuela. ¡Asegúrense de consultar el calendario a continuación!

Como siempre, agradecemos su colaboración y apoyo. Su participación, ya sea asistiendo a eventos, ayudando con las tareas o simplemente preguntando sobre el día de su hijo, marca una diferencia significativa en su éxito.

Gracias por ayudarnos a construir una comunidad escolar donde cada niño pueda crecer académica, social y emocionalmente.

You have heard about the Leader in Me program at PCS. We wanted to share what a week of lesson looks like for our students. Each grade level learns these concepts at their level, but we have an overall campus focus. Here is an example of what we learned this week!
