    PBE is looking for PALS! Pals are Parents at Lunch Support. Are you available to volunteer Mondays, Tuesday, Thursday, and/or Fridays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.?
    Being a PBE PAL is a great way to support our school and also see your child during the school day. If you are available and willing, even if it is just one or two days a week, please email Dr. Schnitzer at kschnitzer@sandi.net.
    Being a PBE volunteer is easy, you just need to complete a volunteer application, provide a copy of TB (tuberculosis) clearance - these are good for 4 years, and provide a copy of your driver's license.

  • Time to Start Getting Ready for the 2026-27 School Year!

    We are moving away from paper forms to a streamlined Online Parent Portal. This system will keep student information secure and make annual registration much faster for families.
    Key Dates & Actions

    • March 2 (Tomorrow!): Online Enrollment launches for NEW students (TK, new neighborhood enrollments, and School Choice).

    • March 23: Student Registration opens for CURRENT students via the Parent Portal.

    What You Can Do Now

    To prepare, please ensure you have a Parent Portal account. You will use this to update emergency contacts, complete annual forms, and manage enrollment.
