The Siegrist Star
Week of January 8, 2024
HIGH FIVE FRIDAY!!
Opt-Out Technology: Siegrist Elementary AMI
Hello Siegrist Families, We hope you had a wonderful Winter Break. We were so excited to welcome everyone back to school this week and kick off the new year.
Today, we celebrate the first Friday of 2024 with High-Five Friday. PCHS Students of Character greeted students and joined them in the classroom at the start of the day.
As we enter this time of the year, it is important that we plan ahead for inclement weather. If we need to implement an AMI Learning Day in PCR3 we will be utilizing a virtual learning day for students as a district. Please fill out the form linked below if you do NOT need your child's laptop/computer & charger to be sent home on the event of an AMI Day.
If you have any questions about AMI days please contact us so we can assist.
We hope you are able to have a wonderful weekend. We look forward to welcoming our Siegrist Leaders back on Monday
All the best,
Mrs. Johna-Kaye Sutton

Did you know the Siegrist school counseling program has vision and mission statements? We weren't sure everyone was aware, so we wanted to share it with you.
Siegrist School Counseling Vision
The students of Siegrist Elementary will continue building towards being the learners and leaders of tomorrow as they imagine, believe and ultimately achieve lifelong success in their careers and relationships, in the future.
Siegrist School Counseling Mission
The Siegrist Elementary comprehensive school counseling program, in collaboration with a dedicated staff and devoted families, is committed to providing equitable access and support to every student as they grow and develop the skills necessary to become successful lifelong learners, workers and citizens.
Student Focus Group Creates Positive Posters
Our counselors have been meeting with a student focus group that provides feedback during their school counseling advisory meetings (Fall and spring), as well as discusses ways to help create a safe and caring place for all students. Currently they are using Canva to create and display positive signs in the restrooms. Take a moment to check out their work (sample of signs)!
