Two of the comfort dogs will be present and their handlers will be available to answer your questions and tell you more about the work they do. Pictures may be taken with the dogs and free-will donations will be accepted from 5:30-7:30. Stop by our table on your way to cheer on our boys against Aquin!

Over the break, some route changes were made to accommodate our students due to some changes in our staff and a shortage of drivers. Drivers attempted to contact all parents of children who would experience a change of bus driver, pickup, or dropoff time either before or after school. Today is our first dismissal with these changes in place, and there is an issue with the phone system at the elementary school. Please do not be alarmed if your child's return time is different today that it usually is, as we will be working diligently after school to ensure that all students are on the correct bus to be transported after school. There may be some delays as we make certain that the process is smooth after school today. A reminder from the email Mrs. Brockway sent earlier to elementary families, if you need to reach the ES today, please call 815-239-2611, and choose option 4 should you need to reach the ES Office. We appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Good morning, and welcome back to our first day with kiddos in the new year! Our phone system at the Elementary School is currently awaiting repair from Frontier, as we cannot receive incoming calls to 815-239-2550. Until further notice, to reach PES, please call 815-239-2611 and choose option 4. That will get you directly to the Elementary Office. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we will let you know when service is completely restored. Thanks!!

Congratulations to the varsity boys basketball team on their 43-38 win over Freeport Aquin to win the Eastland Holiday Tournament.

Candy Cane Lane!

Merry Christmas from Mrs. Ziegler kids!!!
