PCK Weekly Newsletter

Throughout the second half of the school year, middle school students in the Magazine Development elective worked collaboratively to create a dedicated PCK publication titled PCK in Print. The magazine features a wide range of content, including student and staff profiles, entertainment articles, helpful tips, and opinion pieces on topics such as sports and snow days.

This project gave students the opportunity to express their creativity while developing valuable new skills. They strengthened their writing voices, learned to manage deadlines, and explored ideas to bring each page of the magazine to life.

If you’re interested in reading PCK in Print, feel free to read a copy when visiting the front office!

Congratulations to all of our students who participated in Tuck Everlasting and delivered outstanding performances this past weekend! These productions are the result of months of dedication, with cast and crew working collaboratively to bring the story to life.

Tuck Everlasting follows Winnie Foster’s encounter with the immortal Tuck family and her moral dilemma over whether to drink from a magical spring. Through her journey, the story explores the consequences of immortality and highlights the importance of embracing life’s natural cycle.

We would also like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Krystal Myers on completing her final show with the PCK music department. Over the past 25 years, Krystal has directed and produced countless productions, inspiring thousands of students to discover a passion for the performing arts. Thank you, Krystal, for your lasting impact and for all you have given to the PCK community.

Families with students currently in 8th grade who will be transitioning to high school do not need to complete this form.

The 2025-26 PCK Parent Satisfaction Survey for the is now open and will be available through Sunday, May 10 at 4:00 p.m.

Each year, this anonymous survey gives us the opportunity to reflect on what’s working well and identify areas where we can continue to grow as a school community. Your feedback is especially valuable as we work to improve fundraising efforts and strengthen communication between families and school organizations. While the survey includes a variety of questions, none are required. Every voice matters, and your perspective helps shape the future of PCK.

We will review the results at our meeting on Wednesday, May 13, and look forward to using your insights to support and strengthen our school community.

For this week’s Volunteer Spotlight, we’re proud to recognize our incredible PTO for going above and beyond to create a memorable 2026 Teacher Appreciation Week. With thoughtful planning and creativity, they ensured PCK staff felt genuinely valued by the entire school community. From a build-your-own bouquet activity to a soda bar and a variety of appreciation meals, every detail reflected this year’s theme of "Teachers are the Heartbeat of PCK."

This special week serves as a meaningful reminder that our teachers’ dedication to inspiring and supporting students does not go unnoticed. Their impact is real, lasting, and deeply appreciated. To our PTO and all the volunteers who help make this week so special, thank you for everything you do to uplift and celebrate our staff. Your efforts are just one of the many ways the PCK community continues to make a positive difference in our school.
