Welcome back, Panthers! As we look ahead to an exciting school year, we want to share our 2026-2027 Vacation Planner to help your family plan memorable breaks while ensuring your child maximizes their learning time and keeps a clear Focus on the Future!
At PBL, we are committed to preparing every student for responsible citizenship and lifelong success by cultivating strong character, critical thinking, clear communication, and collaboration within a safe and high-expectation learning environment where daily attendance and active participation are supported by families and community partners. The foundation of this preparation starts with being present every day. Our attendance motto, Be Present, Be Powerful, highlights a fundamental truth: every single school day is a powerful opportunity for growth, discovery, and connection.
Daily attendance and active participation are essential, and we are grateful that they are so strongly supported by our PBL families and community partners. By utilizing the scheduled breaks listed in this planner for family travel and significant appointments, you provide the continuous learning flow our students need.
Let’s make this year extraordinary. Join us in encouraging excellent daily attendance.








Welcome back, PBL JH Panthers! We are excited to launch another great school year.
