There is no school for students on Monday, 1/27, due to Professional Development for teachers.

The CCPS Board of Education has released the amended 24-25 school calendar to account for snow days and make-ups. Please see the article linked in our newsletter for details and a copy of the amended school calendar.

This week, we shine our PES Educator Spotlight on Ms. Nina Porter! Ms. Porter teaches Kindergarten here at Preston Elementary School. Ms. Porter holds an undergraduate degree from Salisbury University in Early Childhood Education with a minor in Psychology, is a graduate of the Academy of Leadership at Salisbury University (‘22-23), and is almost finished with her Master’s Degree from Salisbury University in Educational Leadership. Ms. Porter is also a PES Safety and Behavior School Improvement Team member. Ms. Porter plans to continue to finish her Master’s Degree and improve upon her teaching and leadership skills! We are so thankful that Ms. Porter has made the Panther Pride Den her home! #PESEducators #PESPantherPride
