Dear PS Families,
It’s been a fantastic week of learning! Next week, we’re excited to attend the high school music band rock concert as part of Arts and Innovation Month.
We would also like to remind you that Friday is House Families Day in PS! We will be focusing on our core value of respect during this time, and students are encouraged to wear their house t-shirts and/or hoodies to show their team spirit.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to another great week ahead!
Have a great week!

Hello PS Families,
Welcome to a new month of our Counseling Corner cycle. This month we will be practicing and learning about COOPERATION. Feel free to share with us how you as a family practice COOPERATION throughout the month. You can send pictures, videos and stories of you carrying out this month’s PurposeFull Pursuits as a family. You can also send us other ways of how you showed this value. Please send these to lparedes@cng.edu. These will be published in the CCN at the end of the month to show pride for our Character Strong students! Hooray!
Sincerely,
Li, Lau, Juli and Vero
