Last night, we were delighted to welcome so many wonderful families to the BRC for our New Student Family Reception!
💙
To our new families, thank you for your enthusiasm about the year ahead and for the trust you have placed in the mission and vision of Palisades Episcopal School. Your students will be challenged, loved, and deeply known here. They will be encouraged to ask thoughtful questions, discover their strengths, grow in faith and character, and become confident learners and compassionate leaders.

We are so grateful you have chosen PES and can’t wait to begin this new school year together. Welcome to the Gryphon community!
The workdays are full, the lists are long, and the first day of school is getting closer. But when the new playground is ready, even our leadership team needs a little recess!
💙
Our PES leadership team has been hard at work preparing for the year ahead, and they took a few minutes to enjoy one of the newest additions to campus. Their verdict: Gryphon-approved and ready for plenty of joyful noise.
💙
The countdown is on, and this team can’t wait to welcome our students back and watch the PES campus come to life!
Our Gryphon volunteered to help with back-to-school preparations today, and things went… mostly according to plan!

He had a little trouble with the copy machine, got a bit clumsy while carrying books, reunited with some of his best teacher buddies, and even polished the trophies. His final assignment was testing out the new playground - a job he took VERY seriously.

What a day! He’s definitely earned a nap, and WE are one day closer to welcoming you back to campus!
