Attention All PUE PTA Parents.

​Wow!  What a year! We realize this time is very difficult for everyone and we hope you are all safe and well.  We apologize for not sending out much communication over the past few months but realize that families were trying to navigate the current times and we did not want to overwhelm the PUE community with communication from us. 


We are inviting you to attend our annual PUE PTA board meeting on Tuesday, July 28th from 5:30 - 6:30 PM.  We will be discussing the 2019 - 2020 Profit and Loss, the Proposed Budget for the 2020-2021 School Year, and electing our new officers for the upcoming school year.  We hope you can continue to support the PUE PTA because we need it now more than ever to fulfill the academic and emotional needs of our students.  The 2019 - 2020 School Year closed with a loss of approximately ($2100) because we were not able to host a spring fundraiser.  The 2020-2021 Proposed Budget has been cut to $45,500, as compared to $135,000 from the prior school year, to support our teachers, administration and focus more on the emotional and technology support of our students in the classrooms.  Please access the following link to attend the meeting:

Need some more information before deciding school options for 2020-2021? PUE administration wants to answer those questions. Join the admin team this Wednesday for google chat to explore the options. Hope you see you all there! 

As you know, WCPSS is considering various options for the start of the 2020-21 school year.  There are a myriad of factors to consider. While some decisions will be made by state officials, other decisions will be left to WCPSS. Community support is essential, so WCPSS is seeking public input on plans for the 2020-21 school year.
In order to gather community input, WCPSS is holding virtual meetings of the Board Advisory Councils. The District 3 BAC virtual meeting will be held from 6 pm to 7pm, Wednesday, June 17.  WCPSS Staff and Board of Education member Roxie Cash will facilitate the discussion and the meeting link is provided here: https://meet.google.com/asu-vwck-gzg


These meetings are usually very informative.  We hope you are able to attend to gather insight into our next school year.
