In honor of those who have served and those serving now, we thank you! Our schools and offices will be closed on Wednesday, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day.
It was a special day at Pelham Oaks Elementary and Pelham Ridge Elementary as our students and staff welcomed veterans and active-duty military members from their families and our community for Veterans Day celebrations!
From patriotic music and student performances to a parade filled with cheers and signs of appreciation, our students had the opportunity to show their gratitude to those who have served and continue to serve our country.
Thank you to all our special guests for joining us today and for your service to our country! ❤️🤍💙

PCS ConnectED is underway!
Our first class came together last night, and the energy and engagement in the room made it a great start! Participants began by meeting others in the group and discovering connections and common ground. They also learned more about Pelham City Schools through presentations on our school system, the role of the Board of Education, and how our schools are funded.
This is what PCS ConnectED is all about: bringing people together to build connections, encourage collaboration, and gain a deeper understanding of our school system. We’re looking forward to continuing the conversation and exploring different aspects of PCS each month!
Thank you to the Pelham City Schools Foundation for sponsoring PCS ConnectED and helping make this opportunity possible. We appreciate their support of our schools and community!
