Our 3rd graders had a blast during our Easter Egg Hunt—but with a twist! Each egg was filled with ELA and Math questions to help review for the upcoming ATLAS testing. Students teamed up to solve problems, find eggs, and show off everything they’ve learned this year.
Who says test prep can’t be fun? Great job, 3rd grade!

🐣🎨 Kindergarten Easter Egg Fun! 🎨🐣
Our kindergarteners had an egg-cellent time this week as they followed step-by-step "how-to" instructions to dye Easter eggs! 🥚✨ Watching them use their listening skills, creativity, and focus to complete each step was truly something special.
The results? Bright, colorful eggs and even brighter smiles! 🌈😊
Way to go, little learners—you made your Easter egg activity egg-stra awesome! 💛💜💙

Yesterday ,PES reading interventionist, Chrissy Schluterman read How to Catch the Easter Bunny to Kendra Canada's 2nd grade class. Each student got to meet and pet Mrs. Schluterman's bunnies Carrots and Blueberry. They also all wrote out and designed a trap to catch the Easter Bunny.
Staci Schluterman’s 4th grade math class had some special visitors today to celebrate Dr. Seuss Week!
Physical Therapist Cortney VanMeter and PES cafeteria employee Marilyn Rietman took time out of their busy schedules to read with our students — making reading extra fun and showing that books bring everyone together!
Thank you, Cortney and Marilyn, for sharing your love of reading with our 4th graders!

Our third graders had a wonderful time today with Jennette Gahlot, author of 14 amazing books! Jennette read to the students, shared her love for storytelling, and inspired our young readers to follow their own creative dreams.
As a special treat, she left bookmarks for every student and even donated a few books for lucky giveaway winners!
Thank you, Jennette, for sharing your time, talent, and passion for books with our students. We loved having you!

All Paris School District schools will be closed on January 9 and 10, 2025, due to the forecasted winter storm.
The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. To account for the uncertainty surrounding the storm's timing and impact—including hazardous road conditions and challenges with bus routes—we are announcing these closures in advance to give families time to plan.
These closure days will not need to be made up, as the 2024-2025 school calendar includes extra instructional hours to meet state requirements.
Thank you for your understanding as we prioritize the well-being of our students and staff. Stay safe and warm! #ProudToBeAnEagle
As winter weather conditions are upon us, we want to take this opportunity to remind you of our procedures for monitoring the weather and notifying families in the event of a school closure or delay.
Our priority is always the safety and well-being of our students and staff. We closely monitor weather forecasts and road conditions, in order to make informed decisions regarding the operation of our schools.
As we approach the holiday season, here are a few important dates and events to keep in mind before Christmas Break:
🎅 Santa Shop: December 9–13. Students will have the opportunity to shop for holiday gifts during school hours.
🎶 Christmas Sing-A-Long: Friday , December 13. Performance times are as follows: 8:30-Pre K & K, 9:30- 1st & 2nd, 1:30- 3rd & 4th. Join us for a festive celebration of holiday songs!
📆 Early Dismissal: Friday, December 20. Please plan accordingly.
🎄 Christmas Break: December 23–January 6. School will resume on Tuesday, January 7
Thank you for your continued support. We hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
As the temperatures drop, we want to ensure all our students stay warm and comfortable. Please remember to send your child to school with a coat or any other cold-weather gear they may need to stay cozy during the day.
Weather permitting, we will still be going outside for recess and playground time, so it’s especially important that students are dressed appropriately for the cold.
If you need assistance obtaining warm clothing for your child, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher. We're here to help!
Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe and warm this winter.
We have moved our morning drop off line. Please be aware of the changes.
