MESSAGES FROM PRINCIPAL

Student Code of Conduct

In light of recent events, PCLS will be revisiting our student code of conduct and further enhancing them to cover issues that are prevalent to the current social environment.

As a mandatory requirement to complete the registration process, all parents acknowledged consent to abide by the PCLS guidelines. PCLS parents and students’ guidelines can be found on our website. Please note that it’s the parents’ responsibility to let your child(ren) know what the behavior expectations are in school.  It is important that students understand NO acts or language of violence (jokingly or not) is permitted in school regardless of a child’s age.  Thank you for your support for making PCLS a safe learning environment!

Myopia Prevention Seminar

Come and join Drs. Despotidis,  Lee and Tannen on 3/5/2023 at 3:00PM in the cafeteria and learn about myopia prevention and treatments!

Myopia or nearsightedness is an increasingly prevalent condition that not only affects visual function, but can increase the risk of eye diseases as one gets older. Many interventions have been shown to reduce the progression of myopia, preserving vision and reducing the risk of vision loss over time.

These vision problems can have a major impact on a child’s reading and learning ability.  The eye doctors will discuss science based treatments and prevention for vision problems that often steam from excessive screen time.
