Teachers: Ever-changing technology is one of the most constant parts of education. Summer months are a great opportunity to learn new technologies and how to implement them in your classroom next school year! #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
PCSSD is following up on a previous survey sent earlier this month. Your responses to the survey are crucial as we plan for staffing, logistics, and safety precautions. The following survey is REQUIRED for all students. Parents must fill out one survey for each child who attends a PCSSD school. Please complete the survey by 5 p.m. on Friday, June 26. The survey has also been emailed to all parents.

If you are unavailable to pick up on this date the yearbooks will be available during the upcoming school year. Please email our bookkeeper Patricia Davis @ pdavis90973@pcssd.org to arrange for pickup.

Every student should have their final report card. Parents of students in kindergarten and 1st grade received an email report card. Parents of students in grades 2 - 12 can find their child's report card in HAC. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
For many kids, wearing a mask might seem uncomfortable and scary. UAMS created book to help children adjust to why it's important to wear mask. It even includes activities to do with younger children.

Teachers spend valuable classroom time at the beginning of each school year to catch up students who have fallen behind where they should be. It can take 4-6 weeks to re-teach students the material they forgot. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
Dear RMS Families,
This is a follow-up to our Facebook Post on June 3, 2020. As we indicated, a former student of ours, Kaleb Campbell, who transferred from us in January recently passed away. As you know, our thoughts and prayers are with Kaleb’s family and friends. Therefore, our school team will be available to support students in need of counseling. If your child did know Kaleb and is having a hard time, please contact our school staff through the designated staff emails (below) to set up individualized counseling via virtual hangouts. Thank you and have a good Sunday.
Staff Available For Supports:
Mrs. Andrea Mixon (Counselor) amixon8469@pcssd.org
Mrs. Appiah-McNulty (Principal) ymcnulty8711@pcssd.org
Ms. Bobbie Banks (Assistant Principal) bbanks@pcssd.org
Mr. John Bagby (Assistant Principal) jbagby@pcssd.org
By the time students get to high school, the learning loss caused by the summer slide can create a performance gap of 2-5 years. But simply practicing some skills will keep your student sharp heading into next year. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
