MESSAGES FROM PRINCIPAL<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the PCLS admin team, students and parents for your continued support. PCLS is such a wonderful community, and it is at this time of year when the closeness of friendship shines in our students’ faces. The new year will bring new learning experiences, new challenges and new fun. I look forward to what lies ahead for us as a school community in 2023!<\/p>\n

On behalf of the PCLS admin team, I wish everyone a happy holiday season and a restful break. Stay safe & healthy, and we\u2019ll see you back at school on January 8th.<\/p>\n
