The cords have been handed out to the seniors. The scholarships are being announced now. If kindergarten parents want to head this way, you may park in the back parking lot and watch for the seniors and kindergarten students to gather there. That will be when you want to walk to the front office area and take your spot in the hallway to watch the students do the "Senior Walk.".
Kindergarten students will walk the hallways this morning with the 2025 graduating seniors. The Scholarship Ceremony is taking place in the auditorium this morning from 8:00 until. The senior ceremony usually takes about an hour and a half. We will send out a message by text and post on Facebook(Elementary page) and on the school website about 30 minutes before we start the walk. Parents are welcome to come up and watch the students walk with the seniors. The gates will be open for parking. The students will be paired up on the sidewalk by the kindergarten playground and then will enter the kindergarten hallway. They will walk all the hallways. The main hallway will be the best place to stand for pictures; close to the auditorium area.
PCSD: Students in 3rd - 10th grade will be taking the Summative ATLAS assessment next week, Monday (4/28) - Thursday (5/1).

We can't wait to watch our students show all they have learned this year!

Attention K-12 Parents: Mr. Edwards and Mr. Tucker are driving trip buses today. Students who normally ride their buses will be riding other buses home.

If a student is extremely late (40-60 minutes), please call 870-862-4641, ext. 130 for assistance.

K-12 PARENTS: Mrs. Becky's bus will also be included in possible delays this afternoon. Again, if this will cause a disruption to family plans, please call the school to make arrangements to use the car line today.
K-12 PARENTS: Students who typically ride Mrs. Moss's bus and Mrs. Teressa's bus may have slight delays this afternoon when being dropped off. We hope that this will be a minimal delay of only 10 to 15 minutes. Please be patient if your child does not arrive home at their normal time this afternoon. You may call 870-862-4641 ext. 130 if there is a concern after a 30-minute dropoff delay. If you have an appointment that this might interfere with, please call the school and make arrangements with the secretary to pick your child up in the car line this afternoon. Again, we apologize for this inconvenience.
K-12 Parents: If your child rides Mrs. Moss's bus in the afternoon, they will arrive home today approximately 10 to 15 minutes later than their usual drop-off time. Please do not be alarmed when they do not arrive at their usual time. We apologize for the inconvenience.
