Q. I. Roberts Parent Night
Every school day is a chance for your child to learn, grow, connect, and feel supported. When students are present, they don’t just gain knowledge—they build friendships, confidence, and a foundation for a bright future.
Together, we can give our children the best start by making attendance a priority. Each day at PCSD includes learning, activities, opportunities, and nutritious breakfast and lunch to help students thrive.

Join PCSD for a LIVE parent event – Snapchat & Instagram Risks
Is your child begging for, or already using, Snapchat and Instagram? If so, join PCSD Superintendent Dr. Rick Surrency along with SmartSocial on Wednesday, November 5th at 7:00PM for a LIVE virtual event, designed to help parents learn why their kids want to Snapchat or Instagram and hidden risks you need to know about!:
These apps can be fun and creative, but big risks are hiding behind features like disappearing chats or “spam” and “finsta” accounts. What feels private to your teen can actually fuel comparison, anxiety, cyberbullying, and risky behavior.

Our Fall Festival wouldn’t have been the same without our amazing parent volunteers — Lisa DePriest, Holly Neufeld, Latricia Coley, and Christina Simmons — who dedicated their time and energy setting up for our big event! 💪🎉
A huge shout out to Alli Ray and The Banner Brush for designing and donating the most perfect banners for our Laugh and Scare Floors. They truly brought the Monsters, Inc. magic to life! 💚✨
We also want to thank SignGypsies of Putnam County for helping complete the look with their incredible display that made our courtyard scream with fun! 💜🎈
A big thank you to the PHS Interact Club for their amazing face painting skills and to our awesome 6th grade volunteers and staff kiddos who helped keep the fun rolling all night long! 🎨👏
And of course, we can’t forget the wonderful parents of our KSES Monsters who donated candy and food drive items. Your generosity made our event even sweeter and helped our community in a big way! 🍬💖🥫
