Have a safe and enjoyable summer!

With graduation, field trips, Awards Night, and report cards finally behind us, we are pretty much done for the year. Thank you to all the staff, students, parents and volunteers who drove, coached, read, baked, cooked, led, cut, glued, sorted, counted or did whatever job was needed to make this year a very successful one.

Behind the scenes though, work is still going on.  Retreats and workshops happen throughout July and August, AFL test scoring takes place in Saskatoon early in July and even students in SRC return early (August 23) to plan for the fall. Parents will also be busy in August as they obtain supplies for their children. Lists are available at www.nwsd.ca/schools/pcs/docs.php.

Going into next year Pierceland Central School staffing remains the same. Mrs. Michelle Grundner will be teaching Grade 3 along with Ms. Reinhardt as the class will still be split into two for another year. PCS will be welcoming a brand new director to the Division, former St. Walburg principal, Duane Hauk. 

Staff officially return to work on Wednesday, August 25 although many will be in before that to prepare their classrooms and plans for the year. Thursday, August 26 is the first student day and there will be an 11:40 dismissal. You can keep posted of events throughout the year at www.nwsd.ca/schools/pcs/events.php. Have a great summer and well-deserved break! See you in the fall.

Mid-June Madness

As the end of school approaches, events are rapidly winding down. Awards Night has now passed with a great turn out and many certificates, medals and trophies awarded.  The evening began (to the relief of the organizing committee) with medals arriving in Pierceland just shortly before the ceremony and it ended with the hope of more sponsorship to increase the number of trophies to include areas such as Health, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Creative Writing and Technology to name a few. The upcoming two weeks are filled with year-end field trips, exams and our final Pep Rally on Monday, June 14.

To ease stress that students may be facing, it is important to keep good routines established such as regular bedtimes and meals. Starting the day with a healthy breakfast is always important. Although summer holidays are just around the corner, there is still much work to be finished before then. It's important that students stayed focused throughout these final weeks. A final exam schedule is available on the left sidebar. Supply lists will be posted as soon as they come available under "Parents - Documents & Forms".
