TEACHER LUNCHEON POST FOR PARENTS!
Parents and community- it's that time of year again. For several years I have catered lunches for the Junior High and High School teachers once a month. It's a great way to show our teachers how much we love and appreciate them. I have found it is easier to cater the meals than to have people sign up and bring stuff. I've calculated out how much it is to feed each teacher for the months we do it (Sept- Nov and Jan-April). The tiny bit leftover goes toward a treat for teacher appreciation (not enough to cover but helps).
This year I'd like to do amp it up a little. I'd like to ask for an additional $20 per teacher so we already have money ready to go for teacher appreciation. Last year we had some very generous businesses help with teacher appreciation but they were pretty tapped out by that time of year.
So- I'm asking for $65 per teacher. We have a total of 55 teachers at both schools. If you would like to sponsor a teacher (or two) you can Venmo me @cskinner03.
I keep very meticulous records. If you have any questions on where you money is going, I am happy to share that with you. I'd like to have this wrapped up by next Thursday, the 10th.
We live in a pretty awesome community! Thanks in advance for being so willing to help our teachers to know how much we support and appreciate them! You can message me if you have any questions! It's great to be a Roughrider!
Stay Safe,
Courtney Skinner

PJHS - Last Thursday 8th grade students were given information on high school registration. They should've brought home a form for guardians to sign. If you have not seen the form, please ask your student for this, or if your student was absent or lost their form, you may pick a new one up at the office. This form needs to be completed and returned asap. They will not be able to register without having it signed, and registration is scheduled for the end of the week in each student's science class. If you have any questions, please reach out to (928)387-8113.
Registration now open for PES Summer Programs! Check your child's backpack for sign-up forms or stop by the office.

Please visit with your PHS student about their Prom plans. Be sure to let them know that we will be using a breathalyzer at the entrance and students must blow a zero to gain entry to the Prom. Anyone with a positive reading or who appears to be under the influence of an illegal substance will not be allowed admission to the prom and will be referred to law enforcement. In addition, regular school discipline measures will be enforced as per the 2023 PHS Handbook. An alcohol violation results in 50 discipline points and a minimum of 5 days of out of school suspension.
Thank you for your help in keeping our students safe.
PES Site Council Meeting
8th Grade Promotion is coming up soon! As part of that promotion, we often give students "swag bags" of stuff to help commemorate the occasion, and we need some help purchasing items. Did you know that you can help out AND get a tax break? You can make a tax credit donation and get 100% of the amount donated taken off of state taxes or added to your refund. You can do this NOW and have it count for last year's taxes. You have until April 15 to come in, and after April 15 it will go on next year's taxes. It's a great way to help the school.
As the weather warms up, please make sure your child is properly dressed for school. Please refer to our handbook, pgs. 5 & 7, for more information on the PES Dress Code.
