Hello PCE Families!-
Beginning, Monday August 30th, if your student is a car pick-up student at the end of the day, we are asking that you put a sign in your passenger side window to allow staff to quickly and clearly see which student(s) are being picked up. This will help with the efficiency of the car pick-up line.
Signs will be provided by your student’s classroom teacher. If you have more than one student in the car pick-up line, please place a sign for each student. Signs will be on colored paper with your student’s first and last name in big bold letters.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or the PCE office. Thank you.

This application also will help determine if you are eligible to receive other benefits such as reduced registration fees, and determines funding for our schools to provide additional programs.
