PES Eagle Express
Upcoming Events & Information for Pleasantdale Families
A Note from the Principal's Office
August 26, 2018
Dear PES Families,
We are enjoying the start of the school year and can't wait to welcome you this Wednesday evening from 6-8pm at Curriculum Night. During this evening we will begin with an overview of the year, then move to classroom presentations. Teachers will make two presentations for those families with multiple children. The night will conclude with a 4th Grade Parent Band/Orchestra meeting for those interested in joining Band or Orchestra.
I wanted to share with you a few reminders and helpful information as we start the school year.
- School Pictures Day is taking place on Friday, September 7th with picture make-ups scheduled for Friday, October 5th. (This is a change from the printed calendar you received.)
- Pick Up Patrol is the system we use to identify how students are dismissed at the end of the day. It is imperative that families indicate on Pick Up Patrol how their child is to be dismissed. Please take a minute to update your child's profile/plans. This will expedite the dismissal process for everyone. Please contact the front office at 708-246-4700 if you need assistance with Pick Up Patrol.
- We have received the following communication from PickUp Patrol: "To provide a better user experience for our parents, we have released a new app. This Progressive Web App is basically a mobile app that is delivered through the web rather than from an app store like Google Play or the App Store for Apple products and uses brand new awesome technology. It is no longer available in the App Store for iPhone or on Google Play, but can be downloaded here:
https://app.pickuppatrol.net/parents
For quick access, we suggest you add it to your home screen.
Advantages & New Features of the PWA:
Easier, faster logins
A fresh new look and a more intuitive experience
Plans that repeat multiple times can be more easily submitted
Parents can now review and edit Default Plans directly from the app
There is no downloading—the new app uses minimal storage space and has a faster reaction time
Instant updates give parents quicker access to new features and improvement"
- Just a Dash is our catering service in Pleasantdale. Parents may view the monthly menu on our website www.d107.org to see offerings for each day. Kindergarten parents will be receiving a letter today from Mr. Frank Adams, Business Manager, with directions on how to order Kindergarten only lunches. Please be on the lookout for this email. Please also note that cash is not accepted, and all funds need to be added to your child's Skyward account. If you need assistance with this, please contact our Business Office.
- Curriculum Night is Wednesday, August 29th from 6-8pm. This is an important opportunity for parents to learn about the year ahead and meet with our teachers. We ask parents to find alternate arrangements for children and keep this a parent only event. Please plan to join me in the APR/Gym for an introduction to the year before heading to classrooms.
For our students,
Ms. Tomei

Reminders:
- All of School Street is a School Zone which means that all cell phone use is prohibited. This includes hands-free devices.
- For the safety of all, and ease of traffic flow, parents are asked not to exit their vehicle along the Kiss and Go Lane during morning drop off. Students are to exit on the curbside eliminating pedestrian traffic in the passing lane. Parents who wish to assist their child out of the car, are asked to park in the lot and walk them across the lot.
- Preschool parents are welcome to park in the lot when dropping off students. Alternatively, at 9am, when buses have departed PES, parents of preschool students may park in the circle drive area outside the preschool doors to drop off their preschoolers.
