Are you seeking out ways to support the school through volunteering?
One way you can volunteer is becoming a proctor. Proctors need to be an approved Level 1/2 volunteer. Please visit the link- bit.ly/PESProctor2324 (also listed on flyer), if you are interested in proctoring. We are currently seeking proctors for our upcoming MVPs and COGAT testing in November. Thank you in advance for helping us run smooth testing sessions this year.

Thanks to the district for the new KVAC machine, now we can keep our school even cleaner. We even had a good laugh when we realized that Mr. Oliver and Mr. Dulmaine dressed like twins for the day by accident. #CleaningPumas #PumaPride
During this past week, Mr Rotenberry noticed Avery Byrd exhibiting high expectations. At the beginning of the week, students receive their checklist of items that must be turned in by the end of day Friday. Without being prompted or told, Avery brought one of his assignments to lunch with him in order to ensure it was turned in by the end of his block. Great Job for holding yourself to high expectations. #PumaPride #PassionatePumas #PumaOfTheWeek
