Fall brings some great changes to PCE!

Dear Parents,

Fall break is approaching, bringing with it some cooler weather and some more new faces!!

As many of you know we will have a new music teacher with us after Fall break.  Maegan Petkash is joining our staff all the way from New York!  She is eager to get started and has already been meeting students and staff this week. 
We also have had a change in our Building Engineer position.  Marvin Martinez has left to explore an exciting opportunity in the real estate field!  We wish him the best of luck and will miss him greatly!  We have worked with the district to find a new building engineer that will start the week of Fall Break.  Jairo Avila comes to us from within the district and has most recently worked at Douglas County High School.
After fall break we will also Welcome Back--Mrs. Ashley Mooney who will return to PCE as a Technology Assistant.

Wolf Night was a huge success!  Thank you to everyone that came out to support our wonderful school and kids!  Our fabulous PCEA was able to raise close to 14,000 dollars to help with some teacher grants and library improvements we would like to make to enhance our students' learning!  More information on how the money will be spent will be shared on at the next PCEA meeting that is scheduled for Wednesday, November 13th at 6:30.  We are looking forward to seeing you so we share ideas and opinions together!!

We have made a change to our PCEA Meeting dates.  Due to conflicts with the DAC meetings we have changed our PCEA meeting to Wednesday nights.  The schedule dates coming up are November 13th -Grant Night allocations, No December Meeting, January 15th, February 12th, March 11th.  Please mark you calendars! We would love to have you join us!

We are also in need of a new SAC (School Accountability Committee) member if you are interested in fulfilling this role (or have more questions )please send your name a short paragraph about yourself to carrie.rotherham@dcsdk12.org by Friday and I will create a ballot for elections!

Dr. Malouff and I will be available during conferences if you have any questions, concerns or comments about PCE!

I hope you and your family enjoy the upcoming fall break!

Sincerely,

Carrie Rotherham
PCE, Principal
