SCHOOL NEWS:

PTO Spirit Stick Sale:

Our PTO has launched a Spirit Sticks online sale.  Spirit Sticks are small embroidered patches that the kids can add to their Eriksson Frogs keychain that they received from their teacher in years past or at the beginning of the year if they are new to Eriksson.  (If you have moved into Eriksson in the last 2 years and have a 3rd, 4th or 5th grader please contact the PTO and we will get you a keychain).  Most kids then attach the keychain to their backpacks to show which patches they have.

Please use this ORDER FORM to let us know how many of each option that you would like to order.

Payment can be made with Venmo (@Eriksson-PTO), a check made out to Eriksson PTO, or cash in a sealed envelope handed in to your child's teacher labeled with their name and teachers name along with "Attn:  PTO Sprit Stick Payment" on the envelope.

DISTRICT NEWS:

I have included a link to Ms. Merritt’s message sent on Friday, January 14, updating our community on COVID-19 mitigation strategies in P-CCS.   LINK

Bus Routes ~ Rotating Suspensions:

Last month, P-CCS published a letter that outlined changes to our bus services that will impact most families that utilize transportation. We began implementing this new bus schedule this week, so it is important for families to continue to review the new schedule and check the P-CCS website daily for adjustments.  Please take a moment to review this important communication

Please note that this is a fluid process that is subject to change based on the number of healthy drivers that report to work each day. COVID-19 infections and close contacts have had an impact on this schedule. These changes, however, should provide a more predictable transportation program for our students and families for the remainder of the 2021-22 school year.

I am also providing this quick reference to the impact the rotating schedule will have on ERIKSSON buses.  

Round 1: 1-10-22 through 1-21-22                                                                                                                    

• Route 64 Bus 75G RED BUS - High School, Pioneer, and Eriksson                                                                 

Round 2: 1-24-22 through 2-4-22             BEGINS ON  1/24 

• Route 5 Bus 61 PURPLE BUS - High School, Liberty and Eriksson                                                                    

Round 3: 2-7-22 through 2-18-22 

• None  

Round 4: 2-21-22 through 3-4-22                                        

• Route 19 Bus 78 GREEN BUS – High School, Liberty and Eriksson                                   

Round 5: 3-7-22 through 3-18-22 

• None  

Inclement Weather:

We want to make sure you are aware of our inclement weather protocol and how it affects the potential for school closings (Direct URL: https://www.pccsk12.com/i-want-to/find-out-about-a-school-closing).

Our process remains the same as previous school years in that, if schools are closed due to inclement weather, it means there will be no instruction or programming for the day for all students. This includes both in-person and Virtual Academy students. All schools will be closed, and all remote learning will be canceled for the day as well.

District families and staff will be advised via robocall as well as our other communication platforms (mass email, official district website, P-CCS Mobile App notification, etc.), and local television and print local media also will be informed.
