Dear Parents,

When I joined the staff of Pinnacle Peak as the Principal, one of the things that Dr. Lee had in place for the 20-14-15 school year was the implementation of a system entitled “Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports”, PBIS.  Basically, PBIS is school-wide system of teaching and reinforcing positive behaviors across all areas of our campus.  More detailed information about PBIS will be coming your way throughout the year.  If you are interested in learning more about PBIS, you can go to www.pbis.org. Our first year in the implementation of PBIS is a planning year.  We have a leadership team consisting of teachers, parents, our school psychologist and me.  One of the first items to complete is to gather information and perceptions regarding student behavior at Pinnacle Peak Elementary.  Our teachers, staff, and students will complete surveys here on campus.  I am requesting that you take about ten minutes to complete the attached “Climate Survey”.  Your input is so valuable as we continue down this journey of PBIS, ensuring that all students are in safe and engaging classrooms.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I'd like to take a moment to thank the PTO for a Fabulous Fall Festival. 
 It was so amazing, from the great food, to the fun activities, to the incredible Circus Performers.  I truly was in awe as I watched so many parents spend hours and hours and hours to make a wonderful night for our kids.  A special thank you to Julie Ransom for taking the lead on the event.  She spent countless days working tirelessly. A huge thanks to the Fall Festival Committee.  They started working on this back in August.  The creativity and ingenuity was off the charts!  Also, thank you for allowing me to "clown" around over the last couple of weeks!  It was a lot of fun!

Our Fall Festival is almost here!  It's this Friday, October 17th, 5:00 - 8:00 pm.  I hope you can join us!

The Fall Festival Pre-Order Forms are due to the PPES Office by Wednesday, October 15th, with online orders closing at 8:00 pm.   Pre-orders help the Fall Festival Committee plan for attendance, enough meals and all the fun for the night!
