The first bus drill of the year is in the books.
Ms. McDanel's fifth graders have it exactly correct...finding a comfy chair is the first necessity in tackling any math problem! #PrideInTheHive
My challenge to Mrs. Emerson (Senior High School Visual Arts Teacher): Can we have virtual reality art featured in the District’s annual art show?
Challenge accepted! Gabby is one of the first students to utilize the virtual reality equipment and application. I am looking forward to enjoying our student’s creations in this immersive environment.

Did we mention that we're VERY excited to be able to expand our Universal Pre-K program to three full-day classes? We visited the new classrooms this morning and want to give our UPK families, who we know are just as excited as us, a sneak peek! #PrideInTheHive
LOVE. The most important aspect to a new school year – our students need to feel loved when they walk back through our doors. Students will find success, Superintendent McLaughlin told faculty and staff this morning, if they feel loved and supported.
Superintendent McLaughlin urged the PCS family to lead the 2022-23 school year with love and gratitude. After navigating through the last two difficult years together, we continue to be grateful for the partnership with our families and community to provide an educational environment where students can thrive and succeed.

I am walking by a classroom and hear our students using the following words and phrases: sharp, nutty, sticks to the teeth, and malleable. My curiosity was piqued. Mrs. Woloszyn and her FFA students are preparing for the Milk Quality and Products competition at the New York State Fair. Preparation involves sampling and describing milk and milk products. I was fortunate to observe the cheese tasting portion of their preparations. The team members are honing their palates prior to the competition.
Bring on any cheese…our students will be ready!
Best students, best FFA, best team!

Mr. Wyant, HS Assistant Principal/Athletic Director, recently accepted the Sportsmanship Promotion Program Award and Plaque on behalf of PCSD. The New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) recognized only six schools in all of Section V. The Sportsmanship Promotion Survey is designed to assess how schools are promoting positive sportsmanship within their athletic departments. The award is presented to schools that have developed proactive approaches to keeping sportsmanship in the forefront of their athletic programs and school culture.
Are you excited about the fall sports season? We are! Football practice officially started over the weekend and the remainder of our teams start this week or next. We were eager to catch this morning's practice for the girls’ swim team (shared with Letchworth CSD). This is the first girls' swim team in school history! #PrideInTheHive

One of my favorite trips of the summer is visiting our students at the Wyoming County Fair. Our students work extremely hard throughout the entire year to prepare their animals and projects for The Fair.
The PCS students have had a successful Fair so far. Head over to Pike and check out their work this week.
