FROM THE PRINCIPAL:
Dear Percy Priest Families,
Welcome to the opening of what promises to be a wonderful school year! Together, teachers, students, and parents/guardians make a strong Percy Priest ES family. We appreciate your support as your child enters the classroom, learns and grows through the year. Let's all commit to have a good school year, setting everyone - students, as well as teachers - up for success.
Your Partner in Education,
Mrs. Melinda Williams

FROM THE PTO:

A FEW HOOK-UP LINE DOs and DON’Ts
1. Do park in designated areas if you walk your child in.
2. Do unload and load your children “between the
orange paws”.
3. Do pay attention to PPE staff as they help direct you
in the line.
4. Do not pull around the car in front of you.
5. Do not talk on your cell phone while in the hook up
line.
6. Do not turn left into the hook-up line from Otter
Creek Road.
The best way to reduce hook-up line traffic and wait time is to allow your children to walk or ride the bus to school! Thanks for helping to keep your children safe! Full hook-up line traffic instructions can be found here.
