Pierce Downer This Week
Week of October 25-October 29
Weekly Update
Pierce Downer Families-
We had an amazing week leading up to the fun Halloween festivities today! Thank you for all of the efforts put into costumes, attending the parade, supporting our parties and making the day such a success. In this week's edition of PDTW you will find pictures that represent just a small amount of the fun we had!
We have Veterans Day coming up on November 11th and will be recognizing Veterans within our community and families. Please be on the lookout early next week for more information.
We have seen an increase in car rider traffic with the lower temperatures and inclement weather. Our goal is always to ensure the safety of our students. It is extremely helpful to pull all the way up in the drop off areas.
Please remember the doors open each morning at 8:10 and class begins at 8:15.
As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns via email LWagner@DG58.org or call 630-719-5860.
We are PD!
L. Wagner, Principal
Voluntary COVID Testing Program Signup
District 58 encourages families to consider signing up for free PCR COVID-19 testing for District 58 students. Registration for this optional testing program is open and our program is actively underway.
Families can select from any or all of three types of testing services including:
Weekly screening testing (routine testing)
Symptomatic testing (testing when a student or staff member develops symptoms at school)
Test-to-Stay (testing for situations in which a student has been identified as a close contact)
Test-to-Stay, an IDPH-endorsed process that allows a close contact to remain in school with regular antigen testing, will begin next week. Please see the district communication regarding the IDPH's guidance regarding when Test-to-Stay can be implemented in schools.
The student sign up for our school can be found below.
