REPORTING BULLYING
At PCA, the safety and well-being of every child is our priority, and we are committed to fostering a community rooted in respect, kindness, and our Catholic values.
To support this, we have an anonymous bullying reporting form that may be used by students or parents to share concerns. Though not every hurtful word or disagreement is bullying, each moment is a chance for us to guide our children in treating one another with dignity and love.
Our goal is to work together, with understanding and compassion, to help our students learn healthy ways to interact, resolve conflicts, and grow in friendship.
As always, you can always email me directly with any concerns, but if not, this is another way to help us ensure a safe, happy learning environment for all our Blue Angels.
Please see the Code of Conduct for more information about bullying.
PCA SCHOOL BOARD
Thank you to our school board members for all their support of our school.
PLEASE SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY SPONSORS!
THANK YOU TO OUR GOLF TOURNAMENT SPONSORS!
