Winter Weather Information
Clothing and Recess
Please make sure that your children come to school dressed for the weather – winter coats, hats, gloves when necessary. There will be no outdoor recess when the wind chill is at 20 degrees or below. During times of year that temperatures can be unpredictable, dressing in layers is preferable. Be sure to write your child's name on their outdoor clothing.
Cancellation/Notification
In the event of school cancellation, PCR-3 will get that information out as early as possible through automated phone calls and text messages, the District website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, the District Hotline (816-858-2752), and local media. If snow, ice, or extreme cold make conditions unsafe, we will cancel school. For the 2021-22 school year, PCR-3 will implement traditional inclement weather days (no school and no virtual learning), until we reach a threshold that would push the school year past Memorial Day.
Y Club
If we cancel school, our school-age child care programs generally will remain open for those families that are already signed up through YMCA (www.kansascityymca.org). School sites where child care is offered are consolidated so all children enrolled in the program at Compass, Siegrist, and Pathfinder will report to Pathfinder.
Join Our Team!
If you know of someone who is interested in joining our team, please encourage them to apply here. We currently have the following positions posted: teacher, social worker, paraprofessional, custodian, permanent substitute teacher, lunch monitor, bus aide, bus driver, long term substitute teacher, substitute teacher, substitute custodian, and substitute nurse.
Counselor Corner
This month students will define and describe mindful and unmindful thoughts and actions. Also students will focus their attention on the internal physical sensation in both a relaxed and physical state. Here are some questions you might ask your child(ren):
How can you change an unmindful thought or action to a mindful one?
How can we be mindful about the changes our body experiences help us understand what is going on?
Did you know our fully implemented comprehensive school counseling program supports the academic, career, and social/emotional development of all students through the delivery of the counseling curriculum, individual student planning and responsive services? Your counselor serves approximately 571 students at Siegrist!
COVID-19 Health, Safety, and Mitigation Strategies
Following reports of our community and District COVID-19 data, the Board of Education voted to extend the current mask requirement for all persons within all District facilities through December 22, 2021 (the end of first semester). Following this date, face coverings will be highly recommended in District Facilities.
The Board of Education also approved an update of our 2021-22 School Opening Plan including the following shift in contact tracing and quarantine measures: When the District is notified of a positive COVID-19 case, the District will compile a list of possible close contacts, which will be provided to the respective health department for decision-making and/or notification related to exposure and quarantine.
