Dear PS Families,
Next week is February break, from Feb. 21-24, and students will return on Tuesday, Feb. 25. We wish everyone a wonderful and relaxing break. We also kindly ask that you keep your children home if they are sick. If they miss school, we will be here to support them and help them catch up.
Have a great week!
