Back-to-School Picnic Recap
The 2017 Fall Back-to-School Picnics were a huge success, thanks to our PALCS community! We had wonderful turnouts at both our east and west picnics on Friday, October 6th. PALCS staff, students, and their families gathered from all around the state to join in an afternoon of community fun.
Student Spotlight: Kyleigh Guttman
Meet Kyleigh Guttman: a 13 year old 9th grade ballerina who is new to PALCS this year. Kyleigh has been practicing ballet for the past 11 years and is very dedicated to her craft, sometimes practicing over 5 hours a day. As a very ambitious young lady, Kyleigh has hopes to become a professional dancer. Continuing her education in a traditional brick-and-mortar school was not an option with her rigorous training schedule. This is why Shauna Guttman, Kyleigh’s mother, explained they needed to make the change to cyber school. We recently had the opportunity to speak with Kyleigh and her mother about the decision-making process when choosing the right school, Kyleigh’s dancing, and their goals for the future.
Spreading Kindness During Bullying Prevention Month
October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and here at PALCS, we are celebrating all month long! We want to join together as a community to prevent bullying and make positive changes. The PALCS Guidance Department will be spearheading and sponsoring many activities through the month of October to promote bullying prevention.
Scholastic Book Fair
PALCS families, we are having a Scholastic Tabletop Book Fair! Come out to the Western Regional Center at the Landings and check out all the wonderful books! Drop by on October 19th or 20th between the hours of 9 am and 3 pm and shop around for the perfect book, and maybe even tackle some early holiday shopping.
Bullying Prevention Month
Here at PALCS, we create a safe environment both virtually and on-site where we have zero tolerance for bullying. With October being National Bullying Prevention Month, we wanted to take this opportunity to bring up this extremely important topic, continue the dialogue, and get our PALCS community involved.

PALCS is extremely proud and honored to announce that we have been named the #1 Best Online School in Pennsylvania on niche.com’s 2018 Best School Rankings list! We are also ranked #9 Best Online School in America!
Field Trips and Events
We hope as you are settling into the new school year, you are looking forward to the wonderful activities and field trips we have planned this year! As a cyber school, many think that the importance of socialization just goes out the window, but here at PALCS, we make it a priority! We encourage all students and PALCS families to take advantage of as many as they can!
Back to School Picnics
Hey PALCS families, it’s time to Picnic! Yes that’s right, come one, come all to the back-to-school picnic this fall! On October 6th, bring the whole family and come meet teachers, PALCS staff and fellow PALCS families.
