School Families

School Families

Students at PBS get many opportunities to work and play together across grade levels. All of the K-5th grade students on campus are divided into school families. Each family contains two or three children from each grade level. Each adult on campus is a 'parent' in a family. Families meet on designated days to participate in activities, learn about each other and play together.

Outdoor Education

Outdoor Education

Outdoor Education plays an important role in the growth of our students. In 4th grade, the children travel to Coloma to continue their study of the California Gold rush. In 5th grade, the children travel to Yosemite to further their study of the formation of the earth as presented in the Science curriculum. Both trips encourage students to build independence and cooperation with each other and to expand their understanding of the the outdoor classroom.
