A heartfelt thank-you to all of our Veterans who joined us for our Veterans Day Recognition Assembly. It was an honor to recognize and celebrate those who have served our country. We are grateful for your service, sacrifice, and willingness to spend part of your day with our Pathfinder students. These are the moments that help make learning meaningful and remind us of the importance of honoring others.

As we head into our final stretch before Thanksgiving break, let's finish strong! We still have plenty of learning ahead, and every day counts. Encourage your students to stay focused, give their best effort, and continue demonstrating the leadership and character we strive to build each day.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for being such an important part of our Pathfinder family. We are grateful for our students, staff, and families and all that you bring to our school community. Let's make these next couple of weeks count!

Each year, Pathfinder hosts a holiday assistance program called The Giving Tree (similar to angel trees). This program has been a huge success in the past and has helped so many families who have not otherwise been able to provide for their families during the holiday season. This is all made possible due to the generosity and support of our staff, families, and community members and I am blown away by the support each year!!!

If you are interested in "adopting" a family or child for Christmas this year, please utilize the sign up genius link below to sign up. If you have any questions, please let me know!

Thank you all in advance for your consideration and generosity! This would not be possible without all of your support and I know our families are so grateful!

Along with Newkirk Novak Construction Partners and Incite Design Studio, the District will be hosting a ribbon cutting and open house of Phase 2 of the PCHS Rebuild project on Thursday, December 3 from 5:30-7:30pm. Please enter through the new main entrance! This event is open to the community and tours and refreshments will be provided following the ribbon cutting at 5:30pm. Come tour our new completed high school which will be open for second semester!

Our PTA Fall Parties are coming up on November 20 in the gym, and we’d love your help making the day special for our students! Volunteer sign-ups are now open. Please remember that volunteers must be connected to a Pathfinder student to sign up.

A few things to know before signing up:

• Volunteers will remain at their designated station for the full 50-minute party rather than rotating with their child's class. This will help save time and keep the parties running smoothly.

• Please avoid bringing younger siblings, if possible, so your time and attention can be dedicated to helping our Pathfinder students.

Thank you for volunteering your time and helping make these celebrations fun for everyone. We look forward to seeing you there!

Our annual PTA Santa Breakfast is right around the corner, and we can’t wait to celebrate the season with our Pathfinder families! This year’s breakfast will once again be FREE for everyone to attend. Bring the whole family for a warm meal, holiday cheer, and a chance to visit with Santa.

We’re looking for volunteers to help with setup the evening before and support during the event. If you’re able to lend a hand, please sign up using the volunteer link provided.

All transportation changes need to be made by calling the office (816-436-6670). We will not take your child's word for any transportation change. All changes need to be made prior to 3:00 pm each day.

Early student checkouts end at 3:15 PM.

A district communication medium is our School Messenger system that we use for phone calls and text notifications. As with any school district, PCR-3 must often contact hundreds of parents quickly for sudden changes in schedules due to emergencies, cancellation, or just important announcements.

If you have provided a cell phone number, parents can opt in to receive text alerts and messages. Simply text "YES" to 67587 (standard text messaging fees apply). New families should have received an opt-in text this week.

We want families to stay connected to all Pathfinder information. In addition, we invite you to visit our social media and platforms below.
