Message from Principal
Dear PCLS families,
I hope everyone is enjoying the great weather and pretty fall colors!!
My name is Cindy Chen. I am delighted to serve as the principal of PCLS for 2024-2026. I want to first thank Veronica for her leadership and dedication to PCLS for the past two years. We will continue to have Veronica’s support in her new role as the Chairperson of the Board.
Language learning is a life-long process. It is my hope that we, school and families, will work together to best support our students. As Principal, my door is always open, and I sincerely welcome your input. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me (principal@pcls.org), Sophia (academic@pcls.org) and Whitney (culture@pcls.org) with any questions, concerns, or ideas that you would like to share.
I look forward to meeting you at the First Semester Welcome Meeting on November 10th!
Cindy
