PES Concession Stand New
for 2009-2010
|
PES will have a concession stand this
year to help offset the lack of funds from the state. It will
also hopefully provide a service to parents by providing nutritious,
state approved snacks. All snacks meet the nutrition
requirements adopted by Alabama State Board of Education.
Parents may print off the order form or simply write your child’s
name and the desired snack on notepaper. All drinks and
snacks are $.50. It's very important that snack money be sent
to school with your child and not brought in after school
begins. Teachers must have their money and order forms turned
in by 8am to the snack personnel.
Thank you for supporting our school!

keep your phone number updated by contacting our office with any new
phone numbers you may have.
Whatever dismissal time is announced, we
will dismiss 15 minutes earlier so that the high
school and middle school can dismiss on time. Parents who have not received school messenger phone calls should contact

ATTENTION: All Parents and
Visitors to PES

Please refrain from parking in the red
“Fire Lane” that has been
painted in front of the school and along the curbside of the
Flagpole. We are making this request in order to fulfill
safety requirements for emergency personnel. Should the need
arise for their services, the parked cars would hinder response
time. If you are unable to find a lined parking space in the
circle lot when visiting our school, we have ample parking on either
of the side parking lots. Thank you so much for your
cooperation and continued support of Priceville Elementary School!

Our parents and community are vital to
the success of our school! We

you wish to be included in our volunteer program, please contact
Mrs. Sheila McAlpin, our ARI Reading Coach, at 341-9202.
