“Be Present, Be Powerful!

Good Habits = Great Attendance = Success at School!

As we kick off the new year, it’s the perfect time to build strong routines at home that set students up for success! Here are 3 simple habits that can make a BIG difference:

📅 Set a consistent bedtime & morning routine

A good night’s sleep and a calm morning help students feel ready to learn.

🎒 Prep the night before

Pack backpacks, lay out clothes, and talk about what tomorrow will bring!

⏰ Prioritize daily attendance

Every school day counts. When students show up, they grow—socially, emotionally, and academically!

Let’s work together to help every student show up ready to shine ✨

PBL parents, supporters, and fans! Now’s your chance to show support for your athlete with a personal ad in this year’s sports program. This is a one-time opportunity. Ads must be submitted by August 1st and will be printed in both the Fall and Winter programs. We do not produce a Spring Sports program, so if your child only plays a spring sport and you want to recognize them, this is your chance to do it. Thanks for supporting our Panthers!

Online Registration will be live on Monday starting at 3pm! Check out our walkthrough video and supply lists for your student.
