Reminder: Regular Schedule Tomorrow - Stay Warm and Safe

Dear Parents and Guardians of PSRC Students,

We will be following our regular schedule tomorrow.

However, we'd like to remind everyone of a few things:

• Please make sure students are dressed warmly.

• We've asked our bus drivers to be patient as students head to buses and avoid standing outside in the cold.

Our top priority is the safety of all students.

Thank you for your continued support.

Get ready to spread some holiday cheer! 🎅🤶 We’re excited to celebrate the season with Christmas Dress-Up Days. Join in the fun and show your holiday spirit each day by dressing up and participating!

Let’s make this a festive and joyful week for our students and staff. ❤️🎄
