Dear Families,

We understand that most families have a lot coming at them every day, and keeping up with information can feel overwhelming. We want you to know that our intent is to support you by making district communication clearer, simpler, and more predictable. To that end, whenever possible, we're experimenting with sharing one weekly district ParentSquare message instead of multiple messages, so you can stay informed without feeling inundated.

You’ll also find quick links in the email footer to resources families use most—like the academic calendar, food menus, and the Aeries login link—so important information is always within easy reach. Our goal is to keep you connected and informed, while being mindful of your time and attention.

We’re always learning and adjusting, and your feedback genuinely matters to us. If this approach is working for your family, please consider hitting the like button or leaving a comment below (comments made on these posts are visible only to district staff). If you have suggestions for how we can improve, we’d appreciate hearing those as well.

Lastly, a reminder of what's on the calendar this week (details for these can be found below):

This week we're celebrating PRHS CTE Student of the Week, Sara Solis!

Sara is a standout senior in the CTE Business Pathway, recognized by her teachers for her leadership, initiative, and academic excellence. She successfully runs her own business while balancing a full course load—demonstrating entrepreneurship and exceptional time management.

As the PRHS Student Store Manager, Sara oversees daily operations, and supports her peers with clear communication and accountability. In Business Communication and Business Practicum, she consistently applies classroom learning to real-world situations and represents the pathway with professionalism and confidence.

Congratulations, Sara! We’re proud of the example you set for fellow Bearcats and the future you’re building through CTE.
