Autism Awareness Day- April 2
We are excited to celebrate Autism Awareness Day next week on April 2nd, a worldwide initiative dedicated to fostering understanding, inclusion, and support for individuals with autism.
Dropping Off Items at the Office
We kindly ask that whenever you are bringing something to school for your child, please stop by the office to leave the item. The office staff will ensure it is delivered to the appropriate classroom.
To minimize interruptions to instructional time, we request that parents refrain from going directly to the classroom.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
Fidgets/Clickers Not Allowed in School
We want to remind you that fidgets and clickers are not allowed in school as they are causing too many disruptions during class time. If a student takes one out during class, it will be taken to the office and can only be picked up by a parent.
Thank you for your understanding and support in maintaining a focused learning environment.

Hello PS Families!
Congratulations to all of you who tried out different ways to practice and reinforce cooperation throughout this month, whether it was with the family challenge, read alouds, or other ways you might have as a family to celebrate this important value. This month, we didn’t receive pictures of families showing cooperation. This is totally voluntary. However, we would love to make this a community wide celebration. Therefore, we encourage you to send pictures for the upcoming value. To celebrate we are sharing some brain boosters (sing-a longs, breathing activities) that resonate with Cooperation. In the meantime, we will brainstorm different ways we can celebrate at the end of each four week cycle.
Sincerely,
Li, Lau, Juli and Vero
