While we know it can feel early, please remember that morning carpool ends at 7:55am. All students need to be in the building no later than 7:55 so they can unpack their backpacks, get their supplies, and be in their seats by 8:00am. We understand morning carpool can get backed up, so please try to arrive early to allow for this possibility. Also, as long as you are in the unloading area, students may get out of the car themselves (if they are able) and do not need to wait for a carpool worker to open the door unless they need assistance. Students arriving after 7:55 need to enter through the main entrance to the school, and those arriving after 8:00 must be signed in at the front desk by a parent.

When sending a lunch from home, please remember to pack a fork and/or spoon if needed. Our lunch room does not supply utensils for sack lunches. Students ordering hot lunch will have the appropriate utensils provided with the lunch.

Also, please remember that soda is not allowed in the elementary lunch room. If you bring your student lunch from a fast food restaurant, please opt for a milk or juice rather than a soda. Thanks for your help with this!

On Monday, December 6 and Tuesday, December 7, our kindergarten through 2nd grade students don't have class, and will only come to school for their scheduled Dibels testing. If you need child care on these days, our Core Care Club may be able to help. They are currently finding out if there is interest in full-day care for these students, so please submit this form if you are interested.

Also, please note there is no Core Care Club November 24 - 26, or over winter break.

Cookie Extravaganza

In order to help our amazing PCK staff celebrate the holidays, the PTA is inviting families to donate holiday cookies! The staff will celebrate with a Cookie Extravaganza on December 14. Click here to get the details and sign up. Thanks for making the season merry and bright for our staff! 

Winter Mart

The PCK Winter Mart will be back this year from December 7 - 14! This is a safe, happy, budget-friendly opportunity for our students to shop for any gift needs they have this winter season. Students get to choose their own special gifts for family and friends, with volunteers available to help students find that perfect gift based on their budget. A large variety of gifts, ranging in price from $0.25 - $13.50, will be available. Students learn how to budget their money and make their own decisions. Each class will come to the market during their library time. 

We do not want any students to be unable to participate, so the PTA is happy to offer a voucher to any student in financial need. Please click here to register your child for a voucher by December 2. 

Transforming the PCK library into a wonderful holiday mart for our students will take many hands and we could use your help. We will be setting up at noon on Sunday, December 5th. Please sign up here to help with set up. Watch for a sign up coming soon to help at the Winter Mart event. Many hands make light work!
