Group Shot We are a better school community when we work together to share ideas, communicate across groups and collaborate on projects to improve our school environment. PiE is a group of parents, educators and school administrators working together to learn from each other about what makes our school great, improving learning and communication, making everyone’s jobs easier and more effective and raising money to put back into our school. 


PiE meetings are filled with creativity, sharing, and productivity. Click here for meeting minutes.
 

Come be part of the fun – your input is important! 

Meetings are in the multi-purpose room (next to the cafeteria) on the first Monday of each month from 6:00-8:00.
