Good afternoon, PSA families! Once again, I am reminded why I do not follow College Basketball’s March Madness anymore after seeing my Clemson Tigers get knocked out in round 1! #Heartbroken. Hopefully, your brackets are going well and your week was even better! Here’s what we have instored at PSA this week!
 
Seat Time Make-Up Updates - 
  • Seat Time make-up dates will be offered on Saturday, April 5 and Saturday, May 17. Students will be notified by administrators should they need to make-up seat time this school year. Questions? Email Ms. Skonieczny for students with last name A-J, and email Mr. Sweeney for students' with last names K-Z.
  • Seniors last day of school is May 9. Seniors needing to make-up seat time can do so during normal school hours on May 12 through May 22
