We are looking for volunteers at Pleasant Hill!

Good Morning and happy first day of school to our Kindergarten and 4th grade students. We look forward to welcoming 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade tomorrow morning! Due to construction happening on our sidewalks parent pick up and drop off will be on the right side of the school in the gym. Please do not park directly in front of the school as it is a hazard and blocks the bus routes. Thank you and have a wonderful start to the school year! Principal, Ashley Cunningham

Please remember that if your student has an emergency medication they will need to have the medication and a current provider order for their first day of school. Now is a great time to start working on getting those things taken care of.
Thanks,
