No School for Students!

The PSD Facilities Planning Steering Committee has released revised scenarios for potential school closures, consolidations, programming, and boundary adjustments. The scenarios are labeled D1, D2, E, and F, and were shared in an email to all families, staff, and secondary students on Friday, May 10. Please take the questionnaire to share your feedback on the scenarios at this link. The questionnaire closes on May 19.

Over the past 2 years, Design Club has been busy building a scale model of Lesher in Minecraft! We used Google Earth to measure an outline from above – each block was ½ meter in length. They took pictures of every classroom and made sure every single detail was accounted for – down to the color of the flooring to Mr. Swann on hall duty in the front. They used redstone (it’s a special kind of Minecraft block that is like electricity) to power lights, run water to the water fountains, and play a special tune when you press a button at the front door.

Evie Eslinger, Esther Johnson, and Emilia Mellizo Kroll have been integral as the ‘mayors’ of this online community. They have presented their work at several teacher trainings at the district level!

Last week, this video was presented to 5th graders and they loved seeing their new school!

Get ready for an unforgettable summer adventure! We are thrilled to extend an exclusive invitation to your students who are eager to dive into the world of behavioral health.

Join us for two action-packed summer camps, brought to you in collaboration with SummitStone Health Partners:

Middle School Camp:

Dates: June 25th - 27th

Duration: Three days of discovery and fun!

High School Camp:

Dates: July 29th - August 1st

Duration: Four days of exploration and inspiration!

At these camps, students will have the incredible opportunity to:

• Learn directly from local behavioral health experts.
• Participate in hands-on activities and engaging workshops.
• Embark on eye-opening site visits to top behavioral health facilities.
• Make a difference through volunteering in our community.

Plus, did we mention that these camps are completely FREE? Yes, you read that right! We'll even provide delicious lunches for all participants. We believe these camps will ignite a passion for behavioral health careers and empower students to make a positive impact in our community. Help us spread the word and encourage your students to take advantage of this exciting opportunity!

For more information or to register, please contact Anasia Sturdivant at SummitStone Health Partners [mailto:anasia.sturdivant@summitstonehealth.org]. Spaces are limited, so don't delay!

We’re eager to make this summer one to remember for students on their journey to exploring Behavioral Health!

Also, as spring is upon us and the days are warming up, please make sure your child is dressing school appropriately – a refresher of what is and is not appropriate is in the planner on page 16. We appreciate your help.

We've had an increase in broken laptop screens. Families, please make sure that you speak with your child about being safe and responsible with their laptops. Below are our school wide technology expectations that you can review with your family. Thank you!

This week, updates have been rolled out to all student laptops. To apply these updates, you'll be required to restart your laptop multiple times. To determine if a restart is necessary, click on the Windows button; if prompted, choose "Update and Restart" or "Update and Shut Down." Ensure your laptop is plugged in and charging before initiating the restart. The process will take approximately 20-30 minutes, with some restarts potentially lasting several hours. Keep the screen open throughout the update. Note that these updates will occur on the second Tuesday of each month. If you encounter any problems or have issues, feel free to reach out to Ed Tech Coordinator Becky Knips at rknips@psdschools.org. Thank you!

Here is a link to our academic honesty police. Please take time as a family to read through this information and let us know if you have any questions! Thank you!
