There is no school next Monday, January 15 in observance of Human Rights Day.

The enrollment lottery application for next school year is now available on our website. If a family has other students, not currently enrolled, that they hope to enroll at PPCS, they will need to complete a lottery application for those students. The application deadline is Thursday, March 28 at 10:00 a.m. The lottery will be held on Friday, March 29 at 10:00 a.m. The public is welcome to attend. School tours for prospective families will be held on Friday, February 16, Friday, March 1, and Wednesday, March 27. All tours will be from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. Friday tour attendees may arrive at 8:40 to attend Community Circle beforehand. Attendees should RSVP for the tour by emailing their name, tour date and phone number to the office.

In February, an Intent to Return survey will be emailed to all families of currently enrolled students. Returning students are not placed in the lottery, however, families are required to complete and submit the Intent to Return to confirm whether your family will be returning to PPCS for the 2024-2025 school year. This lets PPCS know how many seats are available in the enrollment lottery.
