Message From Leadership

Good evening, Eagle families. Reminder there is no school Monday, 2/16, in observance of President's Day.

We invite you to our School Advisory Committee Meeting (SAC) in the Media Center this Tuesday, 2/17, at 5:30pm. This is a great opportunity to build a stronger connection between our school and the families and community we serve. Our PTO will meet directly following. We hope to see you there!
 

Attendance Reporting

The reporting system for attendance has been simplified. You will now receive a text and email message when your child is absent from school. The message will contain a link. When you click on the link, you will be able to electronically report your child's absence. The message is sent at 10:30am each day. The system may also call you if either of these attempts to reach you are unsuccessful. 

Coming soon, you will be able to report future absences, such as if your child wakes up at 6:30am and you would like to report them absent for the day. This would also be if your child is sick in the evening and you know they will be absent the next day.  

Be sure to check your phone number and email in the Focus Parent Portal for accuracy. If you need assistance updating your information, please reach out to our Data Tech, Mrs. Downey or our Registrar, Mrs. Robertson. 
 

YMCA Afterschool

We have a new option that is FREE. Students will be transported by a YMCA bus from PGMS at dismissal. They can be picked up at 6pm and will be given a snack, The program is Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as one Friday evening a month. It will begin on March 3. They will focus on College and Career Readiness along with Civic Engagement. See the flyer for more information!
