Dear Penrose Families,

It's here! It's finally here! The beginning of the new school year! It is going to be a fantastic year! The teachers and staff at PES have been working really hard this week to get ready for our students. We cannot wait to see their faces, and hear their laughter fill our halls once again. We hope you are all just as excited as we are too!

Parents, you may check your parent portal on Thursday, August 11th to see your student's teacher placement. Please be sure to read below for some changes this year. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. See you soon!

Sincerely,

Sheryl Gifford
Principal
