In true 2020 fashion, you might notice something a little "off" in the Class of 2020 senior group photo. Looks like Coach Morrison's Halloween joke from last year made its way into the yearbook! #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Teachers who witness bullying should intervene immediately, assure the bullied child that it is not their fault, and address the behavior with the bully.

6th graders at SYLVAN HILLS MIDDLE completed an independent reading project after reading Gary Paulsen's "Hatchet." Students designed a poster, plot diagram and wrote a summary, sequel or conflict analysis. Love the creativity from each student! #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
