Dear PES Families,

We hope everyone has had a great weekend! Please read our newsletter carefully for all the upcoming events at PES.

Our newsletter can be accessed here.

The Preston Panther PTO will have a meeting at 6 PM on Monday, 4/8.

Attention PES Families: This Friday, April 12, we will have our second Breakfast with Buddies event for this year! Last year the response was fantastic, and unexpected to say the least! This is why we are holding our grades 3 to 5 Breakfast with Buddies on Friday, 4/12 starting at 8 AM. Please see our advertisements below for details. This information will also be sent home in backpacks and our newsletter.

MCAP Testing begins this week for 3rd grade, and in the coming weeks, all students in grades 3, 4, and 5 will be taking MCAP in both Math and ELA. Please be sure to make sure our students get good nights sleep, and we wish them all the best of luck on these state assessments!

A reminder to Pre-K Families: Our amazing Pre-K staff has sent home information on this previously with students and in their communications. This week is Week of the Young Child! PES is excited to take part in this CCPS-wide week of fun and wonder for our little Panthers! We will share some of our favorite moments from the week on social media for all to see, and we hope our Pre-K Panthers enjoy these special events!

The PES Yearbook sale is underway. Yearbooks can be purchased online and cost $20. Online ordering information can be found in our newsletter. Yearbooks are on sale until April 12th.
