Escape Room & Knot Tying
Hello Siegrist Families!
This week students were engaged in an "Escape Room in Mr. Shorts class and practiced developing casting skills in class with Mr. Crawford.
ESCAPE ROOM BRAIN BREAK...OUT!: Siegrist's 5th grade problem-solvers recently "escaped" from MAP test preparation for a quick "brain break" courtesy of the escape room, designed by Mr. Short. An escape room, is an adventure game in which team members solve a series of puzzles and riddles using clues, hints and strategy to complete the objectives at hand.
KNOT TYING: John Rittel from the Missouri Department of Conservation came and taught tying knots for fishing and casting skills. This is the second part of the PE outdoor pursuits unit. Thanks to John Rittel for coming out to put on this program for us.
We are so bless to have teachers that are always thinking of new ways to support our students in new learning and collaborative experiences.
I hope you are able to enjoy family and friends this four day break from school. We look forward to welcoming our students back on Tuesday morning.
Best,
Mrs. Johna-Kaye Sutton

REMINDER: Inclement Weather Day Make Up Plan
In an effort to not push the school year past the Memorial Day holiday, and to not interfere with the summer school schedule, the Board of Education was presented a plan to address our inclement weather and makeup days. A summary of inclement weather days and how we will address the days missed can be found below.
Inclement weather days:
- February 2 (to be made up on May 26)
- February 17 (to be made up on May 27 - This will be a 3-Hour Early Dismissal)
- February 18 District Inservice (Staff will make up on April 15; this will be a No School Day for students)
- March 7 (can be waived with Board approval as we have an extra time built into our academic calendar)
- March 10 (Inclement Weather Virtual Learning - no make up needed)
- March 11 (Inclement Weather Virtual Learning - no make up needed)
Siegrist Olympic Field Day shirts are now on sale for $10
You can send cash or a check made payable to PCR3 before April 28. If you would like to donate $10 to purchase for another student that option is also on the order form. It is our goal for everyone to have a field day shirt so classes can look unified and students can sign names on the back of the shirts. The front of the shirt was designed by a Siegrist fourth grader. Please know that each grade level will be wearing a different Olympic ring color. (We added the color white to have 6 colors). If you have any questions or need another order form please feel free to email us.
