Red Ribbon Week(October 21- 25th)
The goal is for our Pinckneyville students to commit to growing up safe, healthy and drug free by signing a pledge agreeing to the following:

The Theme this year is "Send a Message. Stay Drug Free." During the week, students can sign a pledge at lunch and will earn prizes for signing the pledge and for dressing up according to the daily theme, which are listed below:
- Monday-“Staying drug free is key to a successful life journey”-wear red, sign pledge to be drug free

2019 Science Fair

- The link to sign up is http://tinyurl.com/PMSintent2019
- Students may work alone or in groups of 2 or 3 students.
Attendance:
Being in school all day, every day, helps your child get the most out of middle school. Encourage good attendance with these ideas:
- Point out there's no substitute for being in class. Your child needs to be present to hear teachers explain concepts, to participate in group projects and class discussions, and to ask questions.
- Schedule doctor, dentist, and orthodontist appointments for before school or after school hours whenever possible.
- It will be easier for your child to get up on time for school if he has had at least nine hours of sleep.
- Set a reasonable bed time, and make sure they put away electronic devices so they aren't tempted to check messages or play games.
