Principal’s Hello<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Golden Eagle Families, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Friday, and thank you for another great week at PCMS! Our kids looked sharp and smiled big for picture day, and it was great to see all of you at Back to School Night! Thank you also to PCCO for hosting the information session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an exciting week: our new registrar started, we added soccer goals to the playground, and our athletes put in some good effort on the playing fields. Overall, students are doing well in class too, as evidenced by the classroom norms they created with their teachers. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, students know what is and is not appropriate behavior in classrooms. They’re doing a good job following our expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your teamwork! We couldn’t do this without you! Have a great weekend with your families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Message From a Small-Business Owner at The Grove<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am reaching out today to get some help with some of the students behavior that has been taking place before and after school. A lot of the students like to hang out at the market hall, but don’t seem to understand or want to adhere to the rules that have been placed to keep businesses and other patrons safe and happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the beginning of the school year, we have had to constantly remind students about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Not riding their bikes or scooters on the patio.
– Park or lock their devices at a designated bike rack.
– Clean up after themselves.
– Respect the space by keeping volume at a minimum.
– Be a patron and not loiter.
– Respect the staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have had to single out a few students in particular and speak with them about the expectations and rules here, and unfortunately, they don’t seem to understand. Yesterday I had to send a student home and ask them to not return. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole market hall will be having a meeting in the next week to discuss whether we will allow unsupervised students from the middle and high school, to be allowed on the property during the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
