Please see important information here.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rules re. Cell Phone Use in Class<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Consistent with public schools in the area, we ask that the students put their cell phones in a basket at the beginning of class. They may use it during break and must return it to the basket when the break is over . If students do not want to leave their phone in the basket, it needs to stay in their bag for the duration of class. We implemented this rule on Sept 29, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If a student uses a cell phone during class, it becomes a distraction to the rest of class and the teacher. The teacher may take it away and put it in the basket. Please let your child(ren) know and let\u2019s keep PCLS a cell phone-free learning environment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Message from Academic Director<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>N\/A<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Message from Culture Director<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Drawing Contest Registration &#8211; NOW OPEN!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Get your crayons and markers ready for our first contest this year!
