Message for PHS/MS Families:
The District would like to address several rumors that are circulating about Mr. Moss, the MS/HS Principal. As of Wednesday, May 24, Mr. Moss was placed on administrative leave for the remainder of the school year due to an unprofessional and irresponsibly written email to a student. It was deemed best for the overall functioning of the school and district to take this action, per policy. There are no safety concerns for students or staff related to this email, and the Police did not escort Mr. Moss from the school. Administrative tasks will be managed by other district administrators for the remainder of the school year. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact Superintendent Erica Kludt-Painter at supt@pcsd.us or call the District Office at (877) 526-7656. Mr. Brad King, incoming MS/HS Principal, will be arriving in Petersburg in late July and starting work in mid-August.
Come celebrate the Class of 2023 as they are awarded their scholarships from our generous community. Wednesday, May 24 at 6 pm in the Wright Auditorium.
Tomorrow, Thursday, May 18th a group of 1st and 2nd graders will be selling lemonade on the Stedman sidewalk. Swing by between 11 am-2 pm and help reinforce the lessons they have been working on this week.
Message from their Teacher, Lee Ann Jenkins: This week my students have been reading, "When Grandma Gives You a Lemon Tree", as an end-of-year project. This book gave us a great opportunity to talk about how to be polite, how to take care of what is given to us, and how to use our abundance to help others. Tomorrow, my 1st and 2nd graders will be selling lemonade for $0.25 on the Stedman Sidewalk. They are raising money to purchase adaptive playground equipment. Please come by and enjoy the lemonade that they have made, and see how polite their service is. It's going to be a hot one tomorrow, so come let the lemonade quench your thirst. See you tomorrow!
