Pingree-Buchanan Schools will have an E-Learning day again tomorrow, December 15. The Christmas Concert will be postponed to Friday, December 16 at 2:00pm. We apologize for the inconvenience, but with so few days left before Christmas break it was difficult to find an evening to reschedule. The concert will be livestreamed for those unable to attend. Parents of PreK students are asked to bring their child to school at 1:45pm to get ready for the concert.
Thank you to the teachers, students, and parents who have been working hard to make e-learning work so we do not have to make up days later on! With the end of the semester drawing near, please continue to encourage students to work hard and get their assignments submitted in a timely manner.

Winter is here! Please take some time to review our E-learning Expectations to ensure that all students, parents, and staff are aware of what is expected in the event that we need to have an e-learning day. It is very important that everyone follows the expectations so that we can utilize e-learning days instead of making up days. It is the expectation of NDDPI that e-learning days be as similar as possible to a regular school day.
I will be monitoring the forecast for the next couple of days and will keep everyone informed as early as possible!
