Message from Principal

We are so grateful to PDS for providing us with excellent facilities where our students can learn and thrive. As we continue to enjoy these comfortable classrooms, we must also uphold our commitment to being respectful and responsible tenants.

We would like to remind all PCLS families of the importance of keeping PDS classrooms intact:

  • Leave Supplies Alone: Please ensure that PDS supplies, including markers, pens, paper, and other classroom materials, are not removed by PCLS teachers, students, or family members.

  • Keep Facilities Clean: Please help us keep the facilities clean and tidy.

Our partnership with PDS is extremely valuable. By respecting their classrooms and supplies, we help maintain this essential relationship.

Thank you for your cooperation and for working with us to be good partners!

We are closely monitoring the forecast for potential inclement weather this Sunday.

If the PDS campus is closed due to weather conditions, I will send an update via email by 11 AM on Sunday. Please note that in the event of a campus closure, classes will be held virtually.
