Where Does the District Announce Closings and Delays?
Phone and email alerts
Pickerington Schools will announce emergency closing and delay information through pre-recorded telephone calls to current parents/guardians telephone numbers on file with the district.
The district also sends email messages about any delays or closures via this notification system.
It is important to keep student contact information and contact preferences current by logging into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal and updating your contact information.
District website and social media
Information about school closures or delays will be posted on the home page of the district’s website, on our Facebook page, and on Twitter.
Television and Radio Stations
Pickerington Schools shares any school delay or closure information with local television and radio stations.
Each local television station offers a school closing/delays text message program that sends closure/delay information directly to your phone.
Notes from our School Counselors
Approximately sixty percent of our seniors have submitted applications to college. For those who have not yet applied, please monitor upcoming college deadlines. Many of the colleges popular with North students have February 1st regular decision deadlines including: Bowling Green, Ohio University, Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati, University of Dayton, and Miami. Remember that the school counseling department requires 10 days to process college application materials. In order to meet the February 1st regular decision deadlines, students should submit their transcript request forms to the School Counseling Office by January 17th, 2017.
Seniors are encouraged check the Priority Financial Aid deadlines for the colleges they have applied to and submit their FAFSA and other financial aid documents to the college by those deadlines. Seniors should check their Naviance account for additional scholarship opportunities including many local scholarships. All scholarships that come through the School Counseling Office are posted on Naviance under the Colleges tab. Scroll to the bottom of the page under Scholarships and Money and click on the Scholarship List. Seniors should check this list frequently during the next few months as it is updated daily. Seniors should also check the college’s websites for additional scholarship opportunities offered by the individual college or university.
Members of the Class of 2018 (this year’s juniors) should be preparing for the free ACT test that they will take on April 19th, 2017 at North. All juniors have access to an online ACT test prep program through their Naviance account and have been shown how to access that program to prepare for the ACT. Parents please help us make sure your child takes full advantage of that program to improve their performance on the ACT. Encourage your son or daughter to spend 20-30 minutes 3 - 4 times a week practicing for the ACT on their Naviance Test Prep account.
