Week of September 22, 2025

We hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready to start a new week! Wow! What a fantastic win in the last seconds of the Eagles game - Go Birds!


Busing Update:

Beginning Monday, September 22, morning bus pick-up times will be five (5) minutes earlier than previously scheduled. This change is necessary to help buses remain on schedule despite the increased traffic this school year.

Please plan to have your child at their bus stop 5 minutes earlier starting Monday. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep transportation running smoothly.


Technology Tools for Parents

From: PDSD Staff Vivienne Cameron


Creating a Family Tech Agreement


Every family has different values when it comes to technology, and setting shared rules helps reduce conflict. A family tech agreement outlines expectations for screen time, safe online behaviors, and device-free times. Writing the agreement together gives kids ownership and helps them understand the reasons behind the rules. Common Sense Media offers free templates that can be customized to fit your family’s needs. Action step: This week, print a family tech agreement template and fill it in together. Hang it in a visible spot, like the fridge, as a reminder of your shared commitments.

Leader in Me/PBIS Updates:

Students are busy setting personal goals for themselves in guidance class and some are setting goals in their homerooms as well! We are teaching students how to set goals, monitor their progress, and acheive their goals.


We continue to focus on being proactive in all we do.


We had our first round of super star prize winners this week. Students are getting recognized for being safe, respectful, and responsible!
