Reminder for Late Start:
(1) Arrival time for walkers will start at 9:40 AM at the back gate. Students will report to the gym when they get dropped off (just like when there is cold weather)
(2) First bell will be at 10:10 AM
(3) 4th and 5th grade drop off can start at 9:30 AM in the same location as always.
With the playground being so icy we are going to utilize the back entrance to get kids into the building. A REMINDER that that is where the busses park so please park in the Penberthy parking lot so that bus loading and unloading can happen. Thank you to our maintenance department, Miss Fetrow, and the city for making sure salt/sand is out so that the parking lot, sidewalks, and road are safer for our students and families to walk across. Below you will see a picture of the entrance we are utilizing.
Be safe everyone!
The PES field trip to the hockey game is cancelled due to the road conditions.

A big thank you to Box Out Bullying for visiting PES and teaching our students valuable ways to stand up against bullying! The theatrical performance was perfect for our K-3 kiddos and provided them with fun, age-appropriate skills to recognize, report, and respond to bullying. It truly highlighted the importance of empathy, which is our characteristic for March. Together, we can help create a kinder and more supportive school community for everyone!
THANK YOU to the Ed. Foundation as well for sponsoring this event for PES students and staff!

Congratulations to Charlotte Morales and Mrs. Barton for being our student and staff member of the month for December! They were chosen by their peers and co-workers for showing honesty throughou the whole month!
We are so excited to be back! Welcome Back everyone to the Second Semester!
Today our students learned what their prize will be for December if they reach their Citizen Characteristics goals! This fall the students have been working towards positive citizenship characteristics: Honesty, Respectful, Gratitude, and Cooperative. We had a special visitor, Radar, to help us announce that if students reach their goal by December 20th they will be attending a Quad City Storm Hockey Game! To say the excitement was electric would be an understatement! Students have until December 20th to reach their honesty goal!
Holiday Program was a success! Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this possible for our students! The students and Mr. Barrette put on a fabulous show!
Reminder it's Holiday Program week!
Congratulations to our cooperative team members! Miss Johnson and Jazmyn Bender were our November Student/Staff members of the month!
