Students are required to attend on Fridays. This is NOT a "choice" day of Virtual or Face to Face. Teachers will continue with core instruction on the short days and Face to Face students are to be present. Virtual students will need to contact their teachers for a schedule change for early dismissal days, or watch for an email or google classroom announcement addressing the schedule change for early dismissal days.
This is a reminder that there is a new school calendar posted on the school's website - scroll to the bottom - under News - you will see a letter from the Superintendent, Mr. White, and the new calendar. This calendar has the list of dates for early dismissal. Typically, it will be every Friday, 12:30 for car riders and 1:30 for bus riders. Watch for a "Dates to Remember" sheet soon.
Please remember to wash masks, put extra masks in backpacks, wash water bottles, send water bottles & masks every day.
From the School Nurse: Attention: The Flu Mist is not available tomorrow for the flu clinic. If you marked MIST on your child’s flu sheet, you must call the nurse and update the form to injection or they will not be vaccinated, as the mist is UNAVAILABLE. Call 862-4641 ext 114. Leave a call back number if your call rolls to the answering machine; or email burtonk@parkerschapelschool.com before 2 PM today. We apologize for this inconvenience.
We have been notified that the flu mist will NOT be available for our flu shot clinic tomorrow. If you marked that you wanted your student to be given the mist, please call nurse Kaci at 870-862-4641 ext 114 to let her know how you want your student to be given the flu vaccine. Please leave a message with a return call number if you can't reach her.
Just a reminder that today, 10-24, is NOT an early release day. PCHS will be dismissed at our normal 3:30 time today.
Clarification: some quarantined students will be returning before the 27th (flu clinic day). Those are the forms that can be emailed or dropped off. If the quarantined student is coming back after the 27th, they will not be able to participate in the school’s flu clinic this year.
Students that are currently quarantined may scan the flu forms and email them as attachments to burtonk@parkerschapelschool.com - as long as they are received tomorrow. You can use the “notes” app on iPhones to take a picture of the forms and then send as an email attachment using the upload icon. Send the originals when students return from quarantine please.
You can also drop them off at the elementary office front door if that is easier. There will be a folder on the door where you can place the forms.
This is a reminder that tomorrow is the deadline to turn in paperwork for the school’s flu clinic.
Parents that will be attending face to face conferences must be on the teacher’s schedule and will need to enter the elementary building through the double doors - just past the elementary office (next to the cafeteria). Screening will take place there.
There is currently NO phone service or internet at the school. AT&T is working to repair the issue. Remember we will dismiss today at 12:00 -12:30 for early prek pickup, 12:35-1:05 for elem car line, & buses will run at 1:30. Late prek pickup will be normal time.
Reminder that school will dismiss at 1:30 tomorrow for Parent Teacher Conferences. Parents must check in the front high school office and be screened before meeting with teachers. Everyone must wear a mask.
The Book Fair is this week. You and your child can shop from this link, you can add money to an e-wallet for your child to use at school, or you can send money in an envelope. Thanks in advance for participating in this year’s book fair. https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bookfairs/cptoolkit/homepage.do?method=homepage&url=parkerschapelelemschool
This is a reminder that school will dismiss early this Tuesday. Prek have two pickup options. Prek pickup times are 12:00-12:30 or the normal pickup time 2:30-3:00. Elementary car lines will load from 12:30-1:00. The buses will run at 1:30.
Elementary Parent - Teacher Conferences will be held on Tuesday unless other arrangements have been made. Conferences are required for students with a D or F on their report card or if the teacher needs to address behavior or study habits.
Conferences may be face to face, virtual through google meet, or by phone. Conference times & options have been prearranged. If you have questions, contact your child’s teacher.
Please visit our school website, www.parkerschapelschool.com, to read an important letter from Mr. White regarding changes to the school calendar. The message can be found in the News section.
Elementary Parent - Teacher Conferences will be handled a little differently this fall. The actual date for conferences is Tuesday, October 20th. We will be requiring conferences for any student that is working below level (has a D or F on his/her report card) or if there are conduct issues or study habit issues that need to be addressed. These conferences can be face to face, virtual, or through phone communication. A letter will be coming home tomorrow in your child’s folder that must be signed and returned on Friday. This letter will notify you if a meeting is required. It will also list your conference time. Report cards will be handed out at the meeting if face to face. Report cards will be sent home with students if no meeting is required. All report cards must be signed and returned to document the signature / notification of grades. These will be returned to parents. Of course, if any parent wants to meet with teachers, they can request a meeting. Thank you in advance for helping us make this adjustment to conferences.
This week is National School Lunch Week! We want to take a moment to acknowledge the importance of our school lunch program & those that work extremely hard to make it a great success. Please remind your children to say a special, “Thank you!”, as they go through the lunch line this week.
This is a reminder that there will be no school on Monday. This is a scheduled calendar break.
