Congratulations to our 3rd Quarter Honor Roll students for the High School!

Come join us April 10-12 for our Into The Woods Musical. This will be hosted in the PBL High School Gymnasium. Tickets are $8 for Adult and $5 for students. Cash only. We are excited to share the hard work of our theater students with you! As you plan your family’s visit, we want to provide a quick content "heads-up." While Act 1 is a whimsical journey through classic fairy tales, Act 2 explores more mature themes, including grief and the loss of major characters. Because of these heavier elements, parents may find the second half of the show less suitable for very young children. We encourage you to use your discretion to ensure the best experience for your family.

After a long winter filled with illness, it’s more important than ever to refocus on consistent school attendance. Every day in the classroom matters—students build skills, stay connected with their peers, and keep up with important learning that’s hard to replace.

As we move into the spring months, let’s work together to rebuild strong attendance habits. Families, your support makes a big difference in helping students show up ready to learn each day!

📚 Attendance Goal: Students should aim to stay under 17.5 total absences for the entire school year. Staying on track now can make a huge impact on academic success by the end of the year.

Let’s finish the year strong—every day counts!
