Dear PES Families,

Our newsletter can be accessed via our Smore platform.

Our annual PES Meet the Teacher will be on Monday, August 26th from 2 to 3 PM. This is an opportunity to come to PES to drop off classroom supplies, tour our school, and meet your student's teacher! We will also have a limited supply of free backpacks filled with school supplies for students on a first-come, first-serve basis. Our PTO will also be available to help parents sign up for PTO membership! Kona Ice will also be available and parked on the side of the school. All Kona Ice proceeds benefit our Preston Panther PTO.

Please consider helping out PES Preston Panther PTO with their annual Adopt a Classroom Fundraiser! Our new PTO Board has hit the ground running and have many exciting events and opportunities planned for our Panthers and families this year. The Adopt a Classroom Fundraiser is one that showcases our PTO's awesome ability to connect with our community and local businesses to help our amazing staff make their classrooms the very best in all of CCPS! Information on this fundraiser is on our Facebook page and in this newsletter.

All Back to School Information Letters and Class Assignments have been mailed to families. Families should have received our welcome back letter, class assignment details, another copy of their classroom supplies list, and a school calendar. This initial mailing was for K to 5 families only, and Pre-K assignment information will be mailed out to families in the coming two weeks, as well as Pre-K teachers contacting families directly.

Our school supply lists are out. School Supply lists for ALL grade levels can be found on our PES website, or by going to the direct link: PES School Supplies 2023-2024.
