It’s all about providing our students with the tools they need to be successful. Ms. Warner’s students are loving these calming elements in the sensory room. #PrideInTheHive
Students from Mr. Shuskey's Aquatic Science course spent the morning out on Silver Lake taking water, sediment, plankton, and plant samples which they will be analyzing in class over the next few weeks.
Dots, dots everywhere! Today is International Dot Day, which centers around Peter H. Reynold’s book “The Dot” and celebrates children’s creativity. UPK-3 students are reading the book with Mr. Grierson in the art room and then creating their own masterpieces – all from the start of one small dot! #PrideInTheHive
Our younger students view the “big kids” as role models, that’s why we absolutely love to see interaction like this. A great job by Madison and Shea, both 8th graders, who spent time this morning during a study hall period helping out in our UPK classrooms! #PrideInTheHive
Tomorrow (Thursday) is International Dot Day! UPK-3 students will be reading the book “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds in art classes before creating their own dot-inspired artwork. Students and staff are encouraged to join the celebration by wearing dots tomorrow. This is one of Mrs. Adolf’s favorite days of the school year and, well, her friends at PCS are sending some dot-love her way! #PrideInTheHive #PCSDfamily
The first bus drill of the year is in the books.
Ms. McDanel's fifth graders have it exactly correct...finding a comfy chair is the first necessity in tackling any math problem! #PrideInTheHive
My challenge to Mrs. Emerson (Senior High School Visual Arts Teacher): Can we have virtual reality art featured in the District’s annual art show?
Challenge accepted! Gabby is one of the first students to utilize the virtual reality equipment and application. I am looking forward to enjoying our student’s creations in this immersive environment.

Sometimes you just have to dance!!! Miss Wilkie, ES/JH Library Media Specialist, hosted a dance party with Ms. Johnson's class in preparation for story time. #PrideInTheHive
If we could capture Principal Gilsinan's excitement for the First Day of School (and every day) in just one photo...#PrideInTheHive
Did we mention that we're VERY excited to be able to expand our Universal Pre-K program to three full-day classes? We visited the new classrooms this morning and want to give our UPK families, who we know are just as excited as us, a sneak peek! #PrideInTheHive
LOVE. The most important aspect to a new school year – our students need to feel loved when they walk back through our doors. Students will find success, Superintendent McLaughlin told faculty and staff this morning, if they feel loved and supported.
Superintendent McLaughlin urged the PCS family to lead the 2022-23 school year with love and gratitude. After navigating through the last two difficult years together, we continue to be grateful for the partnership with our families and community to provide an educational environment where students can thrive and succeed.

Congratulations Harley Wolfanger on earning first place in the Senior Division of the FFA Milk Quality and Products competition at the New York State Fair!
I am walking by a classroom and hear our students using the following words and phrases: sharp, nutty, sticks to the teeth, and malleable. My curiosity was piqued. Mrs. Woloszyn and her FFA students are preparing for the Milk Quality and Products competition at the New York State Fair. Preparation involves sampling and describing milk and milk products. I was fortunate to observe the cheese tasting portion of their preparations. The team members are honing their palates prior to the competition.
Bring on any cheese…our students will be ready!
Best students, best FFA, best team!

Mr. Wyant, HS Assistant Principal/Athletic Director, recently accepted the Sportsmanship Promotion Program Award and Plaque on behalf of PCSD. The New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) recognized only six schools in all of Section V. The Sportsmanship Promotion Survey is designed to assess how schools are promoting positive sportsmanship within their athletic departments. The award is presented to schools that have developed proactive approaches to keeping sportsmanship in the forefront of their athletic programs and school culture.
Are you excited about the fall sports season? We are! Football practice officially started over the weekend and the remainder of our teams start this week or next. We were eager to catch this morning's practice for the girls’ swim team (shared with Letchworth CSD). This is the first girls' swim team in school history! #PrideInTheHive
