Dear Stakeholders
We are on an exam schedule.
See the attached.
Picture day for grades 9-11 is FRIDAY (Jan. 15) and TUESDAY (Jan. 19)! Friday, Traditional and B-Day students will have their photos taken, and Tuesday, A-Day and Virtual students will have their photos taken. Students are expected to be at the main gym during the time slots next to the first initial of their last name. Virtual students must be on campus to have their pictures taken. Please arrive at the back entrance.
All picture orders will be online at LifeTouch's website this year to avoid contact. ALSO, if your student isn't able to get their picture taken during these two days, there is an alternative way to submit their own photo. Attached below are flyers for ImageShare (an app to share photos with the Mills yearbook staff). OR you can submit photos at images.balfour.com using product number 128399. Be sure to include the student's name and grade level.There will be social distancing procedures as students await their turn for photos inside the gym. Students must abide by the signage. For any questions or concerns, contact Mr. Taylor Lehman at tlehman9148@pcssd.org.

Dr. Linda Remele, board president, is married with one son, one step-son, 2 granddaughters and 5 cats.
Her greatest pleasure in retirement is volunteering, especially at McPherson Women’s prison, Care Channel and at Sylvan Hills Middle.
One thing she's learned during COVID, is to reach out to your family and friends to keep in touch since you can’t see them in person. This pandemic is hard for all people at all ages.
Thank you, Dr. Remele, for your dedication to PCSSD!
