Principal’s Message

Panther Families,

As the final bell rings and the hallways grow quiet, I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible journey we’ve shared. This has been a year defined by growth, achievement, and a shared commitment to excellence. From the classroom to the court/field/track, our students have shown what it means to be a part of the Pershing community, and we couldn't be prouder of everything we’ve accomplished together.

While the traditional school year has come to a close, the learning doesn't stop for everyone. A quick reminder regarding our summer operations:

  • Summer School: Classes remain in session for those students selected for our summer programs. We are excited to keep the momentum going!
  • Operating Hours: Our office and campus will be open Monday through Thursday, from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
  • Friday Closures: Please note that school offices will be closed on Fridays throughout the summer break.
  • The school will be closed for the July 4th break Monday, June 29th through Friday, July 3rd.
  • Free Summer Meals: https://www.summerbreakspot.org/

Looking Ahead: Fall 2026

Enjoy your well-deserved rest, but make sure to mark your calendars! Our meet the teacher event is scheduled for Thursday, August 6th for grades K-8. See the calendar for details. We are already preparing to welcome our entire school community back on campus for the first day of class on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.

Even during the break, we want to keep you in the loop. For the latest news, registration details, and back-to-school updates, please:

  1. Check our website regularly.
  2. Follow our social media channels for real-time announcements.
  3. Contact the main office during our summer hours if you have specific questions.

Thank you for making this year one to remember. Whether you are traveling, relaxing at home, or joining us for summer sessions, I wish you a safe, joyful, and rejuvenating summer break.

Go Panthers!

Sanjay C. Brown
Principal, Pershing School
