Teachers typically spend around $500 each year out of their own pockets on essential classroom supplies. They could really use your support! The Adopt a Classroom program tackles the issue of insufficient resources that hinder teacher effectiveness and student success. By doing so, we significantly enhance the chances of success for both teachers and students in the classroom, while fostering a sense of pride and respect within our local community.

Manatee Families,

To avoid overcrowding and lengthy wait times during student orientation, the PES clinic will be accepting student medications on Wednesday, August 6th, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Please enter through the bus loop gates and check in at the designated table in front of the clinic.

Friendly Reminders:

  • All medications must have the appropriate paperwork signed by a physician to be stored in the clinic.

    • Note: The only exception is headache medication, which only requires a parent’s signature.

  • Over-the-counter medications (such as Tylenol and Benadryl) will only be accepted if they are new, unopened, and unexpired.

    • Please label these medications with the student’s name.

  • Prescription medications must have up-to-date labeling and be stored in their original packaging.

  • All medications must have expiration dates valid through the remainder of the 2025-2026 school year.
