REMEMBER TO DRESS FOR THE WEATHER
As the temperature starts to drop, we want to remind you to please send your student to school with coat, gloves, and hat as needed. Physical activity is important to the well-being of all students and has a great impact on their readiness to learn. Every student will be provided with one 25-minute recess daily. Weather conditions will be used to determine recess outside. Currently, any temperature below fifteen degrees (including wind chill) is considered too cold to go outside. If it is above fifteen degrees, with wind chill factored in, we will be going outside. Please dress your child appropriately during cold weather.
It is also very helpful to write your child's first and last name in their coat. This way, if your child misplaces their coat we are able to help the coat make it back to the correct classroom.
SCHOOL DONATION BIN
24 Hour Rule
Parents, please remember that if your child is vomiting, they must remain home for 24 hrs after the last time they vomit.
If your child has a fever, they must remain home for 24 hrs fever free without the use of medications.
LOST AND FOUND
Our Lost and Found area is overloaded. Please have your child check to see if they have any items that have found their way to the Lost and Found. We will bag up and donate all items at Thanksgiving Break.
Late Start Supervision
The WSD will once again be providing supervision for K-6 students who need to be dropped off at the regular start time on scheduled Late Start Days in the 2023-2024 school year. This is separate from our Before Care Program through Chautauqua, so if you are registered for Chautauqua, please DO NOT register for Late Start Supervision.
Information on how to register and pay for Late Start Supervision can be found HERE!

CAN WE BRING BIRTHDAY TREATS FOR THE CLASS?
We are not allowing any edible treats to be brought in for birthdays. Students may bring in a non-edible item for their birthday. Please check with your child’s teacher so everyone in the class receives one.
WHAT IF I NEED TO CHANGE MY CHILD'S TRANSPORTATION HOME FROM SCHOOL?
Changes to your child’s dismissal/transportation plans need to be communicated to the
teacher AND the main office. If you need to make an occasional transportation change (car rider instead of the bus, etc.) you must send a note to your child’s teacher. If that is not possible, you may call the office on the day of the change before 2:00 p.m., so the office staff has adequate time to notify your child’s teacher. You must provide a note or call each day that you want your child to go home in a different manner than usual.
CAN I VOLUNTEER AT PEINE RIDGE?
To access the required volunteer registration forms and to read the Wentzville School District's Volunteer Policy click here: https://www.wentzville.k12.mo.us/Page/10282 If you have questions about the volunteer policy or forms, contact Patty in the front office, patriciaforce@wsdr4.org
WHAT IF MY CHILD IS ARRIVING LATE TO SCHOOL?
Once the sign on the front drive is turned to tell you that you have arrived late, you will need to walk your child into the main office. Please do not have your student exit the car and walk in by themselves. A parent will need to walk the student in and sign them into school.
