P.A.S.C. has been working hard to present this year’s musical Anastasia. Anastasia is based on the last surviving child of the Russian Royal Family and her adventure to reunite with her grandmother while trying to avoid the undead Rasputin. We are looking forward to another amazing performance by our students.
Student Family Conferences are scheduled for Friday, December 8th from 8:00am-4:00pm. Families will be emailed a link to sign up for conferences via Meet the Teacher on Wednesday, November 15th at approximately 10:00 am. We are looking forward to seeing our families in the building.
Parent Advisory Council Meeting: Let’s Get Talking
Do you want to help make Peoples Academy Great? Is your child happy at school? Is your child challenged in their classes? Does your student feel safe and welcome at PA? Do you have other ideas you want to discuss with other parents and school staff? Join us while we explore questions, like:
- What do you believe are the most pressing challenges or needs in our school community that we, as parents, can address?
- How can we best support the academic and extracurricular goals of our high school students?
- What ideas do you have for promoting a culture of inclusivity and diversity within our school community?
Join the conversation: RSVP to tarah.hubbard@lamoillesouth.org

Long Term Substitute Needed: We are beyond excited to announce that two of our teachers are expecting! A big congratulations to Averill McDowell and Lesley Riffenburg. We have been fortunate enough to have found someone to cover Averill’s art classes but are still searching for the right candidate to cover Lesley’s science classes. Even though it seems like a while away, semester 2 is rapidly approaching. If you or someone you know might be interested in teaching science for semester 2 at PA please have them contact the office, 802-888-4600, or reach out to Megan Herman, megan.herman@lamoillesouth.org, for more information.
