We will have our first restaurant night on Tuesday, September 13th at Gionino's Pizzeria. If an order is placed for pick up and a flyer is presented they will donate 15% back to the PTO.

It has been a great start to the school year! Just a few reminders from the front office staff.

• Late Arrivals - Please do not drop students off in front of the building and send them to the door by themselves. If your student is late for any reason, you must accompany them into the building. Also, If they are late because of an appointment, you can add the late arrival into Pick up Patrol so the office is aware.
• Pick up Patrol - If you have not done so already, please sign up for our new dismissal program. Reach out to valerie_jackson@plsd.us if you have any questions.
• Emergency Cards - Please make sure you get your emergency cards filled out and turned in. These cards are beneficial to the office in case our internet is down and we have to contact parents.

Easy process online to help out during the year with the cost of meals for your students if you qualify

The district will be conducting an online survey that your 3rd and 4th grade child(ren) will be completing at school. The survey will provide us with social and emotional learning information. The feedback from your child will provide invaluable insights into their experiences and how to improve and adapt our district to their needs. The attached letter will give you more information on the survey.

Ohio Adoption & Kinship Network

OhioKAN is a new statewide program designed to help kinship and adoptive families navigate and connect with all available resources. We work to help families build connections and find resources in their area by providing personalized and customized referral information. We are also able, in Region 7 (Fairfield, Franklin, Licking, Madison and Pickaway Counties), to assist with flexible funds and hard goods. The feedback from families served has been incredibly positive! There are no income eligibility requirements and we serve formal and informal kinship placements, as well as adoptive families. We are here to listen, link and empower families. https://ohiokan.jfs.ohio.gov.

Parenting Workshop

Medication

• Remember, students are not allowed to transport medication to school in their book bag. If you want your student to have medication available at school, the correct paperwork must be completed and the medication must be brought to the school by a parent or guardian.

• Medication must be brought in the original container and must not be expired.

• Prescription medication (including inhalers) must be in the original container with the pharmacy label attached. The label must include the student’s name, provider’s name, name of the medication, dosage to be given and time to be administered.

• Medication forms are available here: https://www.pickerington.k12.oh.us/forms/ (under Health and Medical).

Emergency Medical Forms

• Please make sure you have updated the forms for the 22/23 school year for each of your students in Infinite Campus.

Change of Clothing

• If your student has needed to borrow clothing from the clinic, please wash and return the clothing as soon as possible.
