Pierce Downer This Week
Week of October 11-October 15
Weekly Update
Pierce Downer Families-
THANK YOU Pierce Downer families for making today such a special one. I am beyond thankful, proud, and blessed to serve Pierce Downer School. This was another fantastic week at Pierce Downer School. There is so much excitement around the halls as we see some of our favorite activities making there way back into the building, along with our volunteers! In this edition of PDTW, you will find information on picture retakes, Language Lab Spanish Club, and Halloween Costume Guidelines.
This week reminded us that while it is always sunshine inside PD, outdoors is not always as cooperative and we will need to begin preparing for the crazy midwest weather. We are going to try and maximize and provide outdoor time as regularly as possible for our students, but the space available can change depending on wetness and safety. I am encouraging families to please send students with "outdoor" shoes, especially on wet days.
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!

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.
