A private Drivers Ed Class is being offered at PSPA this summer courtesy of Benson Driving School. This class is strictly for PSPA students or alumni of PSPA. If your child will be 14.5 by the first day of class and you are interested a private drivers ed option please see the information below.

1. The class will be held at our middle school building from June 26-30, 2023. The class will run from 8:30am - 2:30pm each day. There will be a short lunch break. Students will need to bring their own lunch.

April 14th, we will wear purple to honor and appreciate our military families and their children for their sacrifices. April is the month of the military child, established in 1986. Purple Up Day was established by the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension Military Youth and Family Program. It is set to be observed every year on April 15th. PSPA has over 10% of its families with military connections, some currently active. This is a way for us to honor those who serve, and their families, for their sacrifices. Please join us Friday, April 14th, in wearing purple to show our appreciation. Those wearing purple will be allowed to dress down within the school-appropriate attire guidelines for dress-down days.💜

Please remind your child to remember their lunch. Students will be asked to call home in the morning if their lunch is forgotten. If a student doesn't have a lunch by lunchtime we have Lunchables we can provide to them. Forgotten school lunches are $5 and can be paid via e~Funds . Please make sure to reimburse PSPA if we provided your child with a lunch.

If your child is absent for 3 or more days, a note from a physician IS REQUIRED to return back to campus. Upon return from an absence, all notes (whether from a physician or handwritten) need to be turned into the Main Office at either campus. Mrs. Coomer is collecting absence notes at elementary school and Mrs. Marsico is collecting notes this year at middle. They can be emailed or delivered to the office.

The board approved our calendar in November. If you haven't already please download your copy and make sure to plan vacations accordingly for next school year. It is imperative for students to be present on the first day of school.
