Remote packets from this past week MUST be turned in by this Wednesday, February 4th, to receive credit. Remote work is not optional as it is what counts as our instructional day. Thank you for helping us with this- if you have any questions about the assignments please reach out to your child’s teacher. They are happy to help give guidance.
This Friday, February 6th, is Duty Free Lunch for teachers. We appreciate our volunteers who pivoted to support our staff this week!

Good Afternoon Eagle Families!
As you all have seen and heard, there seems to be some wintry weather headed our way! Teachers have sent home small packets of "remote" work to do just in case! Please do not have your student complete these until Dr. Allen, our Superintendent, has indicated a Remote Learning Day. Any information regarding school closures will not come about until Sunday. Let's all put our white crayons in the windowsills tonight and hope for a little more snow than ice!!
Below you will find an image with a short bio and photo of our new Kintegra School-based Therapist, DeShana Norris. We are thrilled to have her on campus to support the students of PCP and PCI. If you feel that your student might could benefit from school based therapy, please feel free to reach out and Mrs. Costa (School Counselor) can connect you with Mrs. Norris. Supporting our students' emotional health early on can be vital and so important to their overall health, well-being and of course academics.
