Dear PES Families,

Our newsletter can be accessed here.

We hope everyone is having a great weekend and enjoying this nice almost Fall weather! We had an amazing week at PES highlights by more PAWSitive Referral recipients, science experiments in Kindergarten, indoor recess fun, a special visit from Tenchi, and much more! Please check out our website blog and Facebook page for all of this week's Panther memories! Here are the important announcements for this week.

This week we shine our Educator Spotlight on Mrs. Shaughnessy Harris! Mrs. Harris is our amazing Pre-K 3-year-old teacher, a former CCPS Teacher of the Year, and has achieved an Associate, Bachelor, and Masters degree, along with numerous certifications, to be able to work with our tiniest Panthers every day! Mrs. Harris aspires to become a Nationally Board Certified Teacher through the rigorous National Boards process. We are so thankful and glad that Mrs. Harris is a part of our PES Family!

PES Back to School Night will be this Monday, September 23rd from 6 to 7 PM. This event will be a time to come see your student's classroom and get an overview/updates from teachers on the new school year. The Preston Panther PTO will also be on hand for membership signups, as well as Kona Ice and By Faith Coffee for all families (with proceeds benefitting the Preston Panther PTO). Kona Ice and By Faith Coffee will be serving starting at 5:30 PM. We will also have a local Community Schools Partner fair in the cafeteria with many of our local vendors who support PES!

Fall Picture Day is coming up on Monday, 9/30! Please be sure to see the Lifetouch order information fliers sent home with your students, and they can also be found in this newsletter. Pictures can be ordered online with the QR code or via paper form and a check brought to the school with your student on Picture Day.

Please read our newsletter in full for all of the latest PES and CCPS news. This includes information from our school, the larger school district, and some of our community partners offering resources to our families.

If you have any questions related to the happenings at PES please reach out to me via email (angeloni.antonio@ccpsstaff.org) or by calling the school directly.
