Our district has purchased a new check-in system for volunteers and visitors. You will need to bring a driver's license when you come for scanning in. You will receive a printed tag with your picture to be worn while in the building. The check-in will occur in the main office. This does not apply to parents just picking up/dropping off students or that will be dropping something off.

IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL:

Please make a plan to pick up your child’s health room medications no later than 12:00 pm on Wednesday, May 25. You may pick them up earlier in the week if you would like to. Medications cannot be sent home with a student and must be picked up from the health room by a parent or guardian. State and district guidelines require that any medication not picked up by the end of school be disposed of and cannot be retrieved after disposal. If you have any questions, please contact:

Kindergarten is an exciting and important first step on your student's educational journey. In PSD, you'll find students are supported in many ways with caring teachers and staff, positive school, and classroom culture, as well as a collaborative, safe and welcoming learning environment.

Kindergarten offers:

• Small class sizes
• Structured, rigorous, play-based curriculum
• Kindergarten is free (all-day and half-day programs)
• Social and emotional learning experiences

Children must be 5 years old on or before Oct. 1, 2022 to be registered for kindergarten in the 2022-23 school year.

For more information specific to Werner, go to our Werner Kindergarten Registration page.

We often get questions about our staff and their favorite things (for appreciation, etc.). You can access those remotely at Staff Favorites.
