PWS Families,

We hope you have had an opportunity to visit our Wall of Heroes. This annual display honors the service of the military personnel, connected to PWS, dating back over 100 years. It will be up for a few weeks, so please come by and visit. We are looking forward to honoring all of our veterans this coming Tuesday at our All School Meeting (more information below). All PWS Girl, Boy, and Cub Scouts are encouraged to wear their uniforms. 

Each year we ask our fourth graders to create the covers for our yearbook. We are excited to announce that the winners of this year's design are Maeve Kelly, John Mortimer, and Harun Halilovic. Congratulations to our winners and every student who submitted an entry. We can't wait to see the final product. 

First quarter report cards are now available on our parent portal. A reminder that report cards are not sent home, but rather are available to you online. Please follow the link for information on how to access these report cards. 


Finally, we want to take this opportunity to extend our deepest thanks and appreciation to all Veterans. We are indebted to your service. 

Have a Great Long Weekend,

Cheryl Daley (Principal)
Dan Mitchell (Assistant Principal)
