  • PBE is Looking for PALS

    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.

    Registration is now open for Winter After School Enrichment! Classes begin the first week of December and generally last until Spring Break.
