The Peine Pride
October Edition
FALL PARTY TIME
Time: 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
We will only be allowing one food item and one drink item to be served in each classroom. This will be coordinated between the classroom teacher and room parents. This will help us better control the amount of food, risk of allergies, and amount of time staff loses checking food labels on party days.
All parents attending parties need to bring a valid ID. In order to attend parties, guests must be on our approved list of volunteers or not be on the Sex Offender Registry List.
During our Fall Party, we do allow students to dress up. Please be mindful of the following costume guidelines:
- No masks
- No weapons
- Nothing scary or gory
- Must be school appropriate
If you are unsure if a costume idea is school appropriate, please run it by your classroom teacher first.
Lunch Guest
Also, remember you may not bring any food to share with any other students in the cafeteria. You may bring food for your own child if you wish.
Morning Arrival Parent Expectations
At any time during the school day, we ask that parents sign in the office and wear a visitor's sticker. Please know our staff is told to ask adults without a Wentzville ID Badge or a Peine Ridge Visitor Sticker why they are in the building. We are doing this to keep our students and staff safe throughout the building. Please always remember to have your visitor badge visible

PBIS House Update:
The 2019-2020 school year is off to a great start. Classes are learning about and following Peine’s 25. These are 25 Life Rules to Follow that will help us be respectful citizens of our community. September Scholars were just announced and we are crazy proud!. To become a scholar, your child’s grade level nominates ONE student each month from the entire grade level that is doing an exceptional job academically. This student also is an outstanding role model for our school even when no one is watching! Way to go September Scholars. Teachers and students participated in Rock Your School Day this month! It was exciting to see all the engagement and smiles from Peine Ridge.
Remember that every Friday is House Day! Wear your House colors to show your school spirit!! BE Different, BE Nice!
Notes from the Nurse
Some Facts About Head Lice
Where children are present and playing, there is always the possibility of the presence of pediculus humanus capitis (head lice), which means there is a potential for there to be lice at school.
The WSD has aligned nurse practices with both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Association of School Nurses and we ask that parents keep the following information in mind:
Lice are not a disease.
Lice do not reflect unsanitary homes or students.
Lice are absolutely an inconvenience.
By detecting lice early, both parents and nurses can get ahead in the process.
Listed below are links to the American Academy of Pediatrics and the
National Association of School Nurses. There is also a video on what to look for when assessing if your child has head lice.
