COUNSELOR'S CORNER
STUDENT STORE
The school year is off to a great start and the School Student Store is officially open! The store will visit students at their classrooms once a month. The store is a great way for students to use the Cheetah Paws they earn for being Safe, Responsible, and Respectful. We would appreciate donations towards the School Student Store so we can continue to stock the store with fun items that students enjoy! If you are willing and able to donate, please do so HERE or using the QR code below. We appreciate it!
SCHOOL SAFETY: ENTERING AND EXITING SCHOOL
All PPS Schools require that visitors enter and exit through a single entrance. At Atkinson, this is the main entrance that faces Division on one side and the courtyard on the other side. While students may enter and exit through different doors, parents and other visitors may only enter and exit through the main entrance. We appreciate your adherence to this safety measure.
SCHOOL PICTURES AND VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Student school pictures will be on September 23 for grades K–2, and September 24 for grades 3–5!
Our photo vendor, Visual Impressions, is also looking for 2–4 volunteers to help out each day. If you sign up, you will receive a $40 gift card to use towards pictures! Sign up using THIS FORM.
QUESTION ABOUT RECESS EQUIPMENT FROM PTA MEETING
We had a question about recess equipment at the PTA meeting last night. Equipment has been ordered and received, and we are working on getting it organized and ready to use!
REPEAT FROM LAST WEEK: YEARLY VERIFICATION
Each year parents and/or guardians are asked to review and update the information on file for their students. This information can be reviewed, edited, and submitted online via PPS ParentVUE.
