Message from our Headmaster:
The tragic shooting in Connecticut today calls us as believers to prayer for the overwhelming grief that now abides there, and to a heightened awareness of our need to ramp up our actions to secure our own students' safety where that is humanly possible. Our prayers cross into the realm of supernatural security as well.
May we all work together to do the little things, no matter how inconvenient, to be diligent in our observations, careful in our driving, and bold in our initiatives to confront and report potential breaches in security. As a school administration, we recommit to do all we can, and trust we will all do our best together to make Perimeter School a safe place for our covenant children and teachers. Thanks for your prayers and support.
Bobby Scott
for all our staff
Please know that though Rhonda and I will pray fervently for the families of Sandy Hook Elementary, we will not discuss this tragedy with your children at school. I have spoken with a couple of you this weekend and understand that this is your desire. As I have told my own children that attend PCS - Perimeter Church is a safe place, we have security present from 6:30 a.m. - 11:00 p.m. and we do have a emergency plan in place.
For the children's sake, we plan to keep things focused and joyful on the Birth of our Savior. Please contact us with any concerns.
