School Updates
We have had a great first month of school! Thank you for your continued support, great ideas and helping hands.
I am super excited to share with you that we will be hosting six Eastern Michigan University student nurses through the first week of December. They are completing their community health rotation. This group is part of 24 students serving in PCS who will graduate in December. Farley Hill will have two student nurses in the building each day, Monday through Wednesday. This team will be helping out with all types of school functions and assisting with student needs.
Our classroom teachers have scheduled virtual parent Curriculum Nights for this week. Please double check your classroom communication to find the links. Second grade is hosting theirs on Wednesday, September 21 at 6:00pm. First Grade will be on Thursday, September 22 at 6:00 and third grade will be hosting on Thursday, September 22 at 7:00pm. Kindergarten teachers presented this information at the orientation day on the first day of school.
It has come to my attention that our Farley Fall Festival has been listed as October 7 on the district calendar. Please note that our Fall Festival is scheduled for Thursday, October 13 from 6:00-7:30pm. Thanks!
The first quarter of school will wrap up on October 28. Teachers will be reaching out to you to schedule parent teacher conferences for early November. They will be offering in-person and virtual options, with some flexibility to best meet your schedule needs. Please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher with any questions or concerns before then.
We are working on making sure that our pick up and drop off loops are running well. Thank you to our building para-pros, office staff, teachers and parent volunteers for supporting the safe arrival and departure for our children. We are still in need of parent volunteers to help with the loop after school each day, from 3:45-4:15. Please let us know if you are interested in helping out.
We are also still in need of lunchroom supervisors each day from 11:30-1:30. This is a paid position. Please give our office a call if you would like to help children at lunch. We are also interested in knowing parents who might like to be on a substitute call list for when we are in need on an occasional basis. Thank you for your consideration.
Thank you to those who have been able to share a box of cereal with us to benefit our food pantry this fall! It is great to be able to stock up with kid friendly breakfast treats. Our pantry is open every Thursday from 5:00-6:30. Any Pinckney Community Schools area resident is welcome to shop in our pantry. We are always accepting donations of food, and we love to have volunteers. Please let me know if you are interested in this service to our community.
Take care,
Yvonne

A Scoop on the Loop
When you are picking children up in the afternoon, please be sure that your name card is visible for the staff to see as you approach. Please move your car to the pick up spot as staff direct you to do so.
Thank you for yielding to our school buses as they enter and exit the parking lot at the beginning and the end of the day.
Stay Connected with Pinckney Community Schools
In an effort to keep families up to date on school information, the district has created a convenient app for your phone. I am including links to our Pirate applications for both iPhone and android phones. Please let us know if you have any questions.
