Tiger Update
Information/Updates about Pickerington High School Central
Message from Mr. Lanier
Tiger Nation
Well, we've officially entered the winter season with a couple of snow days this past week. We are back at it on Monday with a full week of instruction (fingers crossed). :-) We will be conducting a safety drill on Wednesday to review safety procedures with our students. An AM Survey bell schedule will be used to extend 2nd period for the conversation. Please see the bell schedule below. We also plan to meet with the senior class during 3rd period on Thursday.
Second semester is very busy with shows, registration, testing, and celebrating our seniors. Be sure to check the Tiger Update regularly so you have the most recent information about events in Tiger Nation.
Have a great weekend,
Mr. Lanier
