Message from the Principal

Please join me in welcoming Dr. McCabe to PAS!  Dr. McCabe is a principal resident who will be learning about the principalship this year.  Check out her bio here. 

Does your family celebrate Dia de Muertos? Our students have started creating an ofrenda in honor of their ancestors. If you are interested in contributing a picture of an ancestor or sharing how your family celebrates, please sign up on our #oneschoolmanystories Google Form here.

Fall Festival tickets presales are going home tomorrow with your youngest child. Tickets can also be purchased at the festival.  Children K-4 must be accompanied by an adult.  Enter either through the Front or Blacktop doors between 4 and 6pm!

Baked goods can be dropped off day of the Festival on 10/23. Please include ingredients. 

We are still in need of two more  volunteers to help us frost 400 cupcakes on Tuesday.  Click HERE for more information.


Join us tomorrow at 3:45pm for our monthly School Advisory Council meeting.  This meeting is open to all families and staff.  Principal Overton will give her monthly update and committee members will share their project updates.  


As reminder there are no afterschool clubs on Wednesday so that everyone can enjoy the Fall Festival!


Looking forward to seeing families at Thursday's Coffee With the Principal in person or virtual.
