Did you know that the current tennis courts are nearing the end of their expected lifecycle and have cracks that cannot be fully repaired? In an effort to improve playability and player safety, the bond proposal includes a full replacement of our aging tennis courts. These new courts would be located at the same site as the current courts, built with new tennis court construction methods and are expected to have a longer lifecycle than the previous tennis courts.

Did you know that currently the gymnasiums at Gilkey and Cooper are shared gym and cafeteria spaces? Due to the number of students and the sizes of classes and programs that we offer, we are not able to service the correct number of students at the correct time. Separating the cafeteria from gymnasium programs would allow us to service more students at one time. Additionally, this would allow students at Gilkey and Cooper to have the same level of access to facilities that the students at Starr have, equalizing facility support across the district.

As a reminder, our Spring Break is from Thursday, March 28-Friday, April 5. We wish our students, staff and families a wonderful break! We look forward to welcoming the PCS students back to school on Monday, April 8.
