Good Morning Panthers - Please see the message below from the PBL Education Foundation.
Tuesday, November 30 is Giving Tuesday, an annual day of giving across the globe and we need your help!
The PBL Education Foundation is participating for the fourth year and is asking for contributions to provide our K-5th grade students with a monthly book of their own for each month of the school year. The funds raised help to inspire a love of reading and students love having books of their very own to take home.
Our campaign is now live and donations can be made securely right through our Facebook campaign athttps://www.facebook.com/donate/1239594366536922/
Please consider a donation to our campaign and help us spread the word! Sharing and inviting friends and family to our fundraiser and commenting/liking our posts makes a big difference for our kids.
Don't forget - Every dollar raised buys a book!
Thanks in advance for your support –
The PBL Education Foundation

Good Afternoon Panthers,
Beginning on Thursday morning, all district buses will serve as shuttles between Clara Peterson Elementary and PBL Junior and Senior High School. In the afternoon at dismissal, buses 1,3,and 5 will shuttle elementary students to the Junior and Senior High campus. Buses 1 and 4 will shuttle back to Clara Peterson Elementary. This change is being done to improve service for our students. PBL is also adding an additional route in order to decrease route times. This additional rural route will serve East of Roberts, Buckley and Loda. First Student will begin notifying parents of this change today and the new route will begin on Thursday.
Thank you

Thank you

Today, you will receive an important text message from Paxton-Buckley-Load CUSD 10. Historically, our text messages have come from 98901 but will now come from 98900. In addition to that adjustment, this message will include language on how to opt-out of any further text messages from Paxton-Buckley-Load CUSD 10.
Text messages are an important and effective means of communicating with our community so please do not opt out if you would like to be made aware of emergency notifications and district updates in the future. Doing so would mean that you will miss important information. Thank you

Good Afternoon Panthers,
I wanted to remind all students, staff and parents that all shuttle and route buses will begin at Clara Peterson today and then travel to the JH/HS. Regular routes will enter JH/HS campus on Pells Street and line up in front of JH. Shuttle Buses will enter on Center Street and park in front of the JH/HS Commons area. JH/HS students that are walking, being picked up or driving themselves may leave at the dismissal bell. Students riding a route or shuttle bus or waiting for a younger sibling will be held at JH and HS until buses arrive from Clara Peterson. I appreciate your patience as we transition to this new plan.

Good Afternoon,
I'm happy to report that today went smoothly. We will continue to check bags and have a police presence on campus out of an abundance of caution on Monday. We appreciate your support and have a great weekend! GO PANTHERS
