Dear Parents/Guardians/Teachers:
I hope everyone have a great week and are enjoying your holiday shopping and vacation planning.
Last Sunday, we distributed PCLS 2018-2019 Directory to our families and teachers. If your child was absent last week, please ask his/her language teacher or stop by the cafeteria to get the directory. Each family should receive only ONE directory.
We are gearing up for preparations for Chinese New Year! We would greatly appreciate donations (value of $20 and above) of Raffle Prizes for the raffle during our New year’s festivities. All the donations go to our raffle which helps as a fundraiser for the school. Please drop off the items to either Sylvia or Sophia in the cafeteria until 1/13/2019. We will also provide donation receipt for your tax filing purpose.
