Siegrist Note
We want to thank everyone for a great start to the school year! We are appreciative of the work our students and staff have put in in making the start of the year a success. Through this work, and by our families partnering with our teachers, we are laying the foundation for a successful school year. Please enjoy some additional time this extended Labor Day weekend. We look forward to seeing our students when we return on Tuesday.
Thank you again for all you do in supporting our teachers and community, as we work to provide meaningful learning experiences and support for all within our Siegrist Community.
All the best,
Mrs. Johna-Kaye Sutton

First Home Football Game and Pirates ROCK Community Tailgate - Friday, September 3
This Friday is the Pirates first home football game (Pirate Stadium, 7 p.m. kickoff). Before the game, Price Chopper in Platte City is hosting our Pirates ROCK Kickoff and Community Tailgate! Come join the community before the Pirates take on the Kearney Bulldogs for the Highway 92 Showdown. Tailgate is from 5-7 p.m.; performances by PCHS drumline, cheerleaders and dance team from 5-6 p.m. Free hot dogs, chips, water, popcorn, and FUN! See flier for details.
Football fans: Due to construction, we will only be using the north gate for Pirate games this year. To avoid waiting in long lines at the gate, we highly encourage ALL fans to use our digital ticket option. You can purchase digital tickets by clicking the link below and simply use your phone or device to show that ticket to our gate workers. Admittance to the game is $5 for adults; $3 for students. PCHS students who show their school ID, and persons aged 55 and older showing a valid ID are free.
Platte County vs Kearney Football Tickets
Football game reminders: Pirate football games are a time for us all to gather and enjoy some fantastic company and great sports. Please remind your students that the football stadium is an extension of the classroom, and appropriate behavior and good sportsmanship are expected. As a reminder, elementary students should be supervised by a parent and with you at all times.
