Tomorrow is National Hat Day and our Elementary students are enjoying celebrating this fun event today at PCES!! The school spirit and supportive environment are fun to experience!! I just experienced my first “The Twelfth Caller Game”, in which the twelfth class to call in to a number gets donuts. Be sure to ask your elementary students about the challenge - it’s a hoot!! Thanks to all of our wonderful staff for creating opportunities like this for our students. It is FUN to be a Dragon!!
A few Updates to Share:
Calendar Notes: We are preparing for the end of the first semester. The semester ends on the 21st. Please note that students do not have school on January 17 and 24, as those are professional learning days for our teachers.
Please remember that our published calendar says that students do NOT have school on February 18.
That is an error. Students and staff are in session on February 18, 2022.
Elearning Weather Days - Snow days do not exist as they were in years past. If we have a weather related cancellation, we will eBlast you and let you know that we have an Elearning Day. (I will do my best to get that information to you before 6am when possible.) Teachers have communicated the format for the eLearning days with students. I appreciate the fact that we can continue instruction and have that opportunity to connect with our students.
Please have an internet plan in case of inclement weather and the need to go to eLearning occurs. Your schools have shared some possible alternatives. We are simply trying to plan ahead and will work with the circumstances accordingly.
Updated Quarantine and Isolation Guidance - Pine City Schools will apply the CDC’s new COVID-19 isolation and quarantine guidance starting Friday, January 14. The new CDC guidance allows for a 5-day isolation and quarantine period for positive cases and close contacts. Click the links for specific information: CDC Updated Guidance For Isolation and Quarantine and the MDH updated guidance on quarantines and isolation for positive cases.
Mitigation Strategies: We want to thank everyone for doing their part to keep our schools safe and our students and staff healthy. We have rapid COVID-19 tests for students who have symptoms or have been close contacts. Contact your school or fill out the Test Request Form if you would like to pick up a test for your student. It is important to keep your students home if they have any symptoms of illness; parents can use this screening tool to assist.
Pine City has many things to celebrate. Here is one opportunity to thank and support the programs that we have supporting our students and families.
