Lawson Elementary School - PCSSD

Joe T. Robinson High School celebrated a key construction milestone today as the final beam was raised on its new campus addition. The project adds a three‑story classroom building to support Robinson’s growing enrollment, along with a dedicated band building that doubles as a FEMA‑rated storm shelter for up to 1,000 people.

PCSSD is proud to announce our 25-26 Teachers and Support Staff of the Year! We will celebrate all these employees and announce the overall district-level winners on Thursday. See the full list at https://www.pcssd.org/article/2920185.

School may be out – but school meals are still in! Children in the PCSSD community won't go hungry this summer and will have the opportunity to eat for free, thanks to PCSSD and its foodservice partner, Chartwells K12. This summer, we will be preparing meal packs for breakfast & lunch for anyone 18 years or younger in the community. The PCCSD summer meal program does not require registration or identification, and children do not have to attend PCSSD schools to receive the meals. Just show up at the pickup sites on distribution days from 7:00-10:00 a.m., and the meals will be loaded into your vehicle. For more details, see the attached image.

Our TREK students have spent the last few weeks working on creating arcade games for our kindergartners to try out. They made games like claw machines and ski ball, they even had prizes for students to win. We are amazed by the creativity they show everyday. Keep up the good work!

Last Friday, we were visited by Mr. Eric Grist from Arkansas Children's Hospital. He taught our school about ATV and summer safety. He presented about Operation Safe T.R.I.P.S.S. which stands for training, ride off road, impairment danger, plan ahead, single rider, and safety equipment. We learned several valuable lessons on ATV safety. He even gave away four ATV/Dirt Bike helmets to a few lucky students! We are grateful to be visited by members of our community to help us learn about ways to stay safe over the upcoming Summer Break!

Student Nutrition is offering Breakfast in the Classroom at all elementary schools through the end of the school year. This is free to students, so please be sure your scholar arrives in time for Breakfast in the Classroom.

👩‍🏫 This week, we celebrate the teachers who impact so much of what PCSSD is. 🍎
Thank you for your creativity, consistency, and commitment that shape students’ futures — not by accident, but because of the intention and care you bring to your work every single day.

A huge thank you to Crystal Hill Baptist Church for graciously hosting and serving Lawson Elementary on field day. It was a rainy day, but a wonderful time was had by all!
