School grades were shared across the state early this morning. I am proud to announce that PBE has earned a B for the 2025-2026 school year.
Today, we celebrate this accomplishment. While the letter itself is something to be proud of, what it truly represents is the hard work, dedication, and commitment each of you has shown to our students and our school community every single day.
Thank you for believing in our Li'l Pirates, for going above and beyond to support their growth, and for embracing the vision we have begun building together. This accomplishment is the result of countless hours of planning, teaching, encouraging, problem-solving, and caring.
As exciting as this moment is, I believe it is only the beginning. We have established a strong foundation, and I am looking forward to continuing this journey alongside each of you as we build on our successes and strive for even greater outcomes for our students.
Enjoy this moment, celebrate what we have achieved together, and know how grateful I am to serve alongside such an amazing team.
Thank you for helping us remain Anchored in Excellence, Sailing Toward Success.
With much appreciation,
Kellee McCluney, Principal

Please heed this gentle reminder to slow down and use caution in the car loop and parking lot. This is especially important when driving to drop off students in the morning and during pick up from Pirate Island. Many cars are driving at excessive speeds during these times. We want to ensure everyone on campus is safe at all times. Thank you for understanding and slowing down.
Will you commit to attending every day in November?
Attendance is Key to Learning
Our campus opens at 7:30 for all students and instruction begins promptly at 8am. Our cafeteria offers free breakfast to all students. All students are expected to be in class ready to learn by 8am. Soon, we will begin working with the district and reaching out to families that have excessive absences or tardies. We need to know how to best assist with getting your child to school each day and on time.
Remember, your child is more likely to succeed in academics when they attend school, are on time, and stay all day.
