Middle School Resources

Resources for Remote Learners

The Middle School teachers have created a document to streamline resources for students who are required to be remote learners in case of exposure to COVID. Please be sure to bookmark this resource in case you have a need in the future. It can also be found at the District "Curriculum" page.

High School SAT/PSAT Day

SAT/PSAT Day -- October 13

On October 13, all students in grades 9-11 will be testing for the fall SAT/PSAT. These tests will measure evidence-based reading and writing skills, as well as skills in math. These tests provide data on student's strengths and weaknesses and can be used to inform classroom instruction.


Seniors will not need to be in attendance on this day, but instead will use it to complete a college visit or work on a service learning project. Good luck to everyone!

PES TimberNook Days

Our elementary students spent part of September participating in the TimberNook program. They had a blast exploring the outdoors. They definitely proved that learning goes beyond the walls of the classroom!
