This is what abandonment looks like but in a positive way. Mrs. Oswalt-Scruggs’ students slid down to the end of the table away from her to eat lunch with her dad, Mr. Oswalt, our fabulous Facilities Specialist.

PES Dress Code Reminder

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We want to remind everyone of our school’s dress code expectations. We have made every effort to ensure that students and families are aware of the dress code policy and have provided multiple reminders so that everyone has had an opportunity to make the necessary adjustments.

Beginning Monday, 8/24/26, administration will begin contacting parents/guardians of students who are not in compliance with the dress code. If your child is in violation, you will be asked to bring an appropriate change of clothes to school or pick your child up to change.

Please remember:

Shorts, skirts, and dresses: Clothing that falls at the student’s fingertips or below is acceptable. Clothing that falls above the student’s fingertips is a dress code violation.
Leggings and tights: If a student wears leggings or tights, they must also wear a shirt, dress, or top that comes below the bottom.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for partnering with us to ensure that all students follow PES dress code expectations. We appreciate your continued support!

The first week of elementary school was alllll about making sure our students got home safely and on the right bus or in the right car! 😂

By the second week, we were into all things academics! When I say our Raider Teachers would make you think we’re already in the second nine weeks of school, I mean it! They are planning with purpose, participating in Peer Walks, meeting independently with their mentors, and even requesting opportunities to attend additional professional development. Ton Clark, here we come! Their dedication and positive energy, and willingness to go above and beyond make everything we do at PES run so smoothly. And they do it ALWAYS with a smile! They truly make it easy to give accolades!

Mr. Amp and Mr. Mark keep our campus immaculate! Our Activity Staff have our students not wanting to return to class, but once they get back to their classrooms, they don’t want to leave their teachers either. That says so much about the special environment our staff has created for our students.

We have already shared so many laughs with our sweet babies, and we can’t wait to see them each day. They bring so much joy and life to our campus.

We are blessed at PES! ❤️
