A message from the principal:

Panther Families,
Summer is coming to a close and we have a couple of important announcements for you.
1. We have moved! Our main office has a new location making our building more safe and secure. The new Door 1/Main Entrance is designated with a new sign (Previously Door 10).
2. Back to School Night will be August 4th from 5:30pm-6:30pm. Come in and meet our staff, learn about changes and updates for PES, and get ready for an exciting new school year.
3. Teacher and Classroom Requests: We understand that each student and family may have unique needs or circumstances, and we strive to be as responsive and supportive as possible. To help us plan effectively and minimize disruptions, we kindly ask that any special requests be communicated directly to me before the end of the school year.
Additional details can be found on page 19 of the student handbook. Please note that class lists are finalized prior to registration, and changes made during or after registration can affect several aspects of the scheduling process.
We are looking forward with great excitement to working with you and your children during the 2025-2026 school year. See you soon!

We hope to see you on August 4th!
