Principal\u2019s Hello<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

How fun it was to welcome all our students back this week! We also enjoyed meeting our newest students. They’re such a great group!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please check out the info below. Meet Charity and Angie, our two new, amazing staff members in the front office!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope your student came back from school with good energy and good stories. We want every student to feel safe, welcomed, and included at PCMS. Next week students will take a campus tour to learn our campus expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have an awesome weekend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sean<\/p>\n\n\n\n

District-wide E-bike and E-Scooter Regulation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a reminder that as of April 8, 2024 there is a District Regulation<\/a> in place regarding the use of e-bikes and e-scooters on all Bend-La Pine school campuses for any student under 16 years of age. (See Bend-La Pine Family Spotlight<\/a> dated March 18, 2024 for more info.) This is a public safety issue, and this policy parallels state law and plain common sense around e-bike and e-scooter ridership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pacific Crest will enforce the regulation throughout the school year. Students will first be warned and parents contacted. After the first warning, we will hold the bike at school and only release the bike to the parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important Message from Attendance Office | Student Early Release<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help us help you! If you require your student to be released from school early, it is critical that you contact the Attendance Office at least 30 minutes before you need your student released. You can send an email to pacificcrest-attendance@bend.k12.or.us<\/a> or call 541-355-7820<\/strong> to leave a voicemail. Rest assured your message (email & phone) will get picked up within several minutes and a note will be delivered to your student. Walk-ins are not preferred, but happens from time to time. Expect to wait several minutes as we scramble to get your student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, please do not call any other school phone line such as the main office. If you call a phone line other than the Attendance phone line, you will be immediately be transferred to the attendance message line automatically to leave a voicemail.<\/strong> Please also know that we do not have office aides at this time. Therefore, office support staff are required to leave their desks to run notes so please do you best to follow the above request and to plan ahead. We thank for your understanding of this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
