PPES News: Last Week!

Dear Parents,

We've almost made it to the finish line!  Here's an update for the week.


  1. I hope you're having a chance to watch our YouTube channel to stay current on school happenings.  You can even subscribe, as many of you are doing.  If you haven't seen it yet, click here for the link to our channel
  2. Tuesday is our 10th Anniversary Celebration assembly for the whole school.  Feel free to visit; it will begin immediately after announcements at around 9:20.  If you've had one of the teachers being recognized for being at PPES the entire decade, you might find it particularly fun.
  3. We have so much happening, it is impossible to stay on top of it all!  I encourage you to follow us in as many ways as possible, including this blog.  Also, don't forget, we use Twitter with regularity (@PinnaclePeakEs).  Sign up to follow us!  Today, I'm tweeting pictures from what our bus lane will look like after the solar panels.  And, don't forget to # mention us!
  4. Class lists will be made available when Infinite Campus re-opens over the summer.  Stay tuned.  In regards to this, please remember that we've tried to accomodate input, whenever possible, but some were impossible to make work.  For example, student-student interactions were particularly difficult, and the teachers put in many hours to try and achieve classroom balance, and still consider input.  It's never easy, but it always works out.  As the data suggests, no matter which room your child is in, he or she will succeed.
  5. That's all for now.  I want to give the first of many thanks for a great year to our amazing PTO, and their Board, in particular.  What an amazing group!  On top of that, so many of you volunteer at the classroom level in many ways and we truly appreciate you.  Lastly, some of you don't have the time to volunteer, but contribue through positive attitudes and supporting your children.  This type of support is also critical.  We thank you all;  what a wonderful community.
Have a great Sunday!

Thank you and have a great evening...

PPES News: Special Memory?

The Following is a repost - we still need...

Hello parents!  We are reaching out to our community to find ex-students of the following teachers and staff members.  They are Eagles who were here when the building opened, and we want to honor them a "a little bit extra!"  We are going to have one person per teacher briefly say something about their experience with each staff member during our ten years of existence at an assembly on May 17th.  If you know of a child who has had a positive experience with any of these Eagles, please email Mrs. Romney at dromney@pvschools.net.
