Message from Administration
Happy Wednesday Knighthawks,
It has been a busy and productive week at PKMS as we have welcomed back our amazing teachers. Our #1 goal is to CARE for all of our students, parents, and staff as we tackle this unique year together.
This week, our teachers have been working hard to prepare for our incoming students. They have become educational engineers as they have re-imagined and re-designed what learning looks like in their classrooms. We are so thankful for their time and dedication to our students' safety and education.
Whether students are learning virtually or face to face, we are excited to meet each one of them. A positive outlook, kindness, and flexibility will help us navigate any challenges that come up this year. No matter what - we are in this together.
Again, welcome to the 20-21 school year at PKMS. We are so excited to have you at Pleasant Knoll.
If you need anything, do not hesitate to reach out.
Go Knighthawks,
Cori Hustedt, Daniel McCallum, and Nick Janowicz

Nurse News
ATTENTION: 7th GRADE STUDENTS AND PARENTS
Please make an appointment for your child to update their Tdap vaccination. ALL seventh graders will be REQUIRED to get the Tdap vaccine to protect them against whooping cough (pertussis). One (1) dose of Tdap vaccine (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) administered on or after the 7th birthday will be required for all seventh graders. It is strongly recommended that adolescents who have not yet received a dose of Tdap vaccine be immunized in advance of this requirement. Students who are not up to date with their Tdap vaccination may not be allowed to attend school.
Students have only 30 calendar days (from the first day of school 9/29/2020) to be in compliance with having a valid certificate according to the state’s regulations.
Please send a copy of the immunization record to the school nurse once they receive the updated vaccination.
This applies to virtual students as well.
