Here is message from PBL Choir Director, Mr. Lerch:
The High School choir has entered a contest through the WHMS radio station for a local high school choir to sing with the band Foreigner during their final song of the night, "I wanna know what love is".
It is a contest where the school with the most votes wins.
Here is the link: https://ul.ink/1FEN2-11RYE
All voting is done through Facebook. I have asked the station and they couldn't give a date that the voting ends, so if we could get as many people's votes as soon as possible, that would be great!
Clara Peterson Elementary and First Student bus service would like to recognize Zanyah Smith and Anna See for exemplary behavior and good citizenship on the bus during the month of September! Great job!
We encourage everyone to wear BLUE on Monday, October 2, 2023 in support of World Bullying Prevention Day.

As we continue to educate parents and students on the dangers of children and teens vaping, it's important to understand how we can help children who may already be addicted to vaping. Here are some different websites to explore how to help children & teens who may need help.

Sending this info early so families can plan ahead. Due to parent-teacher conferences, we will dismiss early on October 18th & 19th. Dismissal times on both days will be the same as our early dismissal Tuesdays. Clara Peterson - 1:30, PBL HS - 1:40, and PBL JH - 1:47.
The PBL School District encourages every student to attend each day of school throughout the school year. We think it's also important to educate families on the difference between "truancy" and "chronic absences." Truancy only counts a student unexcused absences, while chronic absences counts all excused absences, unexcused absences, and suspensions. A student is considered to be a chronic absentee when they miss 17.5 or more days in the entire school year.--https://www.attendanceworks.org/whats-the-difference-between-chronic-absence-and-truancy/
Did you know that as many as one in three students in the country misses 10%, or about 18 days, of the school year? Being in school supports students’ social, emotional and physical well-being, and provides students with opportunities to learn and reach for their dreams. Let’s show up together and get back into the habit of daily attendance!
The Down Syndrome Awareness Walk will take place at PBL High School in the Back Parking Lot on Sunday, September 24th from 12:00pm-2:00pm. This event is open to any and all parents, students, staff, community members, and more to attend. At 1:00pm we will all walk one ceremonial lap (1/4 mile) around the track.
