Jag-Wire Weekly Parent Update, November 8, 2021
This week at PC
Thank you to Mrs. Lira for her long-standing tradition of excellence in music for our students.
Transportation Reminder
Brrrr......It's COLD outside
Please let us know if your child is in need of a winter coat, gloves, or hat.
Lost and Found
One of the best ways to ensure that your child's lost item is returned to him or her is to make sure your child's name is clearly marked somewhere on the item.
Important Update regarding Thanksgiving Lunch
It has been our tradition to invite parents and others to join the celebration, but unfortunately this year, Thanksgiving meals will be available only to students. Our Thanksgiving meals attract several hundred guests in each school, and as much as we enjoy families and others celebrating this event with students, the next few weeks are not the ideal time for such high traffic in schools. Our goal this year is to keep students in school so we are reviewing each larger scale event on a case by case basis. We look forward to resuming with this special activity next Thanksgiving.
Thank you for your support and understanding as we work to provide an outstanding school experience for your students.

Second Step Resource
Your child participates in these lessons designed to help students have more positive attitudes toward themselves and others, show more positive social behaviors in school, and have fewer conduct problems. This results in greater school connectedness, which helps keep students safe and out of trouble.

Please check out this wonderful and sometimes underutilized resource available for all families in Kansas. The resource is the 1-800-CHILDREN helpline. The 1-800-CHILDREN helpline provides 24/7 judgment-free support in English and Spanish as well as 200 additional languages. It’s free, confidential and finds helpful resources for all families.
.
The 1-800-Children has received 331 calls, texts, or emails. 97% of callers report the call line met their needs! FYI, there is also a handy app that can be downloaded to your phone. Kansas Children's Service League (kcsl.org). Raising families can be difficult work and having someone 24/7 available to answer questions and share information about community resources is invaluable.
