Dear Families,
With the excessive heat today, we understand that some parents may prefer to pick up their children from school rather than have them ride the bus. If you plan to pick up your child, please notify the office of your child's school as soon as possible.
Please also be aware that the reduced number of students riding the bus may lead to earlier drop-off times at home than usual.
Please take note of the changes to athletic practices and rescheduling of golf and cross country meets.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Sincerely,
Heidi Lensing, Superintendent

Yesterday the students had so much fun at Kilgour Park! They were able to work together to complete challenges and games, had lunch together, and then played on the playground! Thank you to PFS , parents, and staff for helping to bring sno-cones to our students and helping out with stations.











After a rocky start to our morning we were able to pull off Ag Day at PES! We are so thankful for the community partnerships and school partnerships that we have in this district. We were able to have TES K-3rd Grade students join us for Ag Day. Thank you to the following people and businesses that made this day special for our students: Mitchell Melons, Birkeys, Diane Baker (Ag in the Classroom), PHS FFA Organization, Sheryl VonHolton (VonHolton Farms), Mrs. Bealer.











Our students and staff are sheltered indoors at all of our buildings. Our pre-K students who take the bus from Tampico to PES are sheltered inside TampicoElementary. We will bus them to PES when the weather clears and it is safe to do so.
