Tate Families,
Picture retakes will be October 17th. They are typically here only about an hour so if your child is new, was absent on the original picture day, or you were not satisfied with the original picture, please make sure they are at school on time.
If your child had their picture made, and you were not satisfied, please email the teacher and let them know you would like your child to have their picture retaken.


Elanor Barfield, a 4th grade student at Tate Elementary is PCSD’s student spotlight for October. Elanor’s teachers say she is kind, helpful, and hardworking. She always tries her best and she always wears a smile. Way to go Elanor!


Congratulations to 2nd Grade East Top Dawg
