Book Returns
By the end of this month (May) we will be mailing each of you a UPS label which you are to use to return your books as soon as you are completed all of your course work.
With this UPS label you will also be receiving (1) a listing of what you must return and (2) instructions on when, how and why you should return it. Please pay close attention to these instructions, the due date for the return and do not be late!
- Extended Year Program (EYP): If you are enrolled, or become enrolled in the Extended Year Program (EYP) please use your UPS label to send back all of the books you will not need for this program. Another label will be sent to you for the return of any books you keep for Summer classes once they are completed.
- Special Message for Graduating Seniors: Earlier this month you were contacted concerning your materials return - computer equipment included. If you have not yet replied to that Moodle Mail or phone call, or have not otherwise worked out the details of this important step in your graduation process, please do so immediately.
Thank you for your attention to this end-of-the-year project!

Parents - Are you looking for a way to connect from the comfort of your own home?
We're excited to introduce you to a new wave of connection at PALCS. You may have started to see our announcements popping up on the front page of Moodle, as we gear up to take our opportunities for connection to a whole new level. Our original intention was to launch the new mind set for connection/activities (entitled The PALCS Network) in September 2013. But, after the overwhelming number of responses, we've started to ask ourselves - why wait? Click here for more information, and to join the conversation!
