Volunteer & Visitor Information

PBCCS extends a warm welcome to parents/guardians and others that volunteer and visit our school and classrooms.  PBCCS works hard to assure that our students and staff are safe and that learning is not disrupted.  We have systems in place to assure that individuals in the building are supporting student learning and school operations.
