We need your help keeping our facilities, students, school personnel, and visitors safe. That means we need to address parking lot concerns at the Elementary/Jr. High School, as we continue to have issues with the adherence to protocols that have been established. Elementary/Jr. High Parking Reminders: With the colder weather, we understand everyone’s desire to park as close to the building as possible. However, due to ongoing safety concerns regarding traffic, cones and signs have been set up to remind drivers of the following: - There is absolutely no parking in the Bus Loop. This includes drop-offs or pick-ups. PCS has bus runs throughout the day, not just for arrival and dismissal. This is also a designated Fire Lane. The bus loop must remain clear to ensure that our buses and emergency vehicles have unimpeded access to the Main Entrance of the building. - Do Not Park in the Drop-Off Lane. This lane is to be used just for dropping off students. If you are visiting the campus, picking up a student, walking a student into the building, and/or dropping off an item to the Main Office, you must park in a designated parking space. Do not park in unmarked spaces or spaces that have signs designated for others. Together, we can prioritize campus safety by making our parking lots safe for all PCS families. Thank you!

Greaser is the word today in 8th grade! Ms. Hurd’s ELA students recently finished reading “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton. The coming-of-age novel pins the poor “greasers” against the rich “Socs.” To earn extra credit, students were invited to dress as one of the book’s characters. They will also be watching the movie later this afternoon. #PrideInTheHive

Bags of resources, happy faces, and shared ideas - many families attended the first Outreach Night on January 12 at PES. This was a great collaboration between the PCS Outreach Team, Perry Medical Center, DDS, WXXI, Wyoming County Mental Health Department, and many more. Free pizza and childcare were available to families. While students enjoyed activities in the library, adults could attend workshops focused on behaviors, routines/schedules, healthy choices, calm down kits, and meeting the counseling staff. They could also explore what different agencies and organizations had to offer. There is still winter gear available from the “Swap and Shop”, so please reach out to the PES Main Office if you are in need (237-0270). Thank you to all who helped make this evening a success! #PrideInTheHive

Sixth graders were eager to introduce themselves to the special guest who virtually visited PES this morning. Teacher Sarah Chatley arranged for students to meet Scott Hetsko, WHAM 13 meteorologist, to coincide with a weather unit in science class. The meeting generated great conversations about weather science, Hetsko’s education and career, the Buffalo Bills, day-to-day work of meteorologists, and much more. Students prepared thoughtful questions like “what happens if he makes a mistake on the air?” and “has he ever launched a weather balloon?”. Thank you to Mr. Hetsko for taking time to speak with our students. You never know, there might have been a future meteorologist sitting in the auditorium this morning! #PrideInTheHive

When we pass by Mr. Shuskey’s classroom and his Living Environment students are wearing shower caps, then we definitely have to stop in. The class has been studying how sea otters and other marine mammals maintain homeostasis underwater. Mr. Shuskey challenged his students to measure how their own heart rates respond while their faces were submerged underwater. #PrideInTheHive #CoolScience

New Year, new reads. Ms. Hurd’s 8th grade English students aren’t wasting any time searching for new book titles. Students recently finished the first of two independent reading projects, which included peer presentations. In addition to completing those presentations this week, they are also visiting Ms. Wilkie in the ES/JH library to find their next books, which will have to be read by spring. #PrideInTheHive

Mrs. Lowery's Entrepreneurship class presented the 13th Annual Pieces of Perry Showcase this afternoon. Students Kylee Baxter, Emma Darocha, Lilly Henchen, Thomas Kerr, and Cheyana Robb spent the fall developing their own hypothetical businesses and pitched the ideas to high school students, faculty, and administrators during lunch periods. It was a tight race, with only two votes separating first and second places. Thomas' "Goods on the Go" was named the top business, followed by Emma's "Prep Matters." Congratulations to all the students! #PrideInTheHive

On August 12, 2020, junior Trenton Washburn was diagnosed with B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). In this type of cancer, bone marrow makes too many white blood cells. Trenton underwent his final chemotherapy treatment on December 14 and is currently in remission! For those in a battle with cancer, the ringing of a bell signifies a great accomplishment – the end of a tough chapter of treatments. We are elated that Trenton was able to celebrate this milestone with family and friends during a home basketball game last week. Congratulations, Trenton!!!! #PrideInTheHive

Mrs. Luczak’s UPK students learned that the Gingerbread Man is hard to catch. While reading the book and then watching the movie, students discovered that even the fastest animals in the forest couldn’t catch this elusive character. Well, yesterday was their opportunity to track him down. It first started in the morning when the class received a letter challenging them to find the Gingerbread Man near the gym. Of course, by the time they got there, he had left another note that he had traveled to another location. UPKers had to be extra quiet, even tip-toeing and crawling at some points, so as to not tip him off to their location. Unfortunately, their exhaustive search led them back to the classroom, where the Gingerbread Man had left crumbs all over before jumping out the emergency window. Thankfully, he did leave students some yummy cookies before he left PES! #PrideInTheHive
