PES Families: Report cards are coming home today! Your child's teacher assignment for next year will be included. For students entering 3rd–5th grade, the teacher listed is your child's homeroom teacher. Students will work with both grade-level teachers for instruction. Please note that we do not accept parent requests for teacher assignments, so please do not contact the office regarding placements. If your child plans to participate in any youth league sports, you will need a copy of this report card for eligibility purposes. Please keep it in a safe place over the summer so you have it available in August. Our office is extremely busy at the beginning of the school year and will not be able to provide replacement copies. Reminder: Tomorrow is a 3-hour early dismissal, and students will be dismissed at 11:55 a.m. If today is your last day with us this school year, have a wonderful, safe, and relaxing summer!
