School Fees
The preferred method of payment is by logging into the Parent Portal on Infinite Campus. While schools accept a check or cash, paying via the Parent Portal ensures there is a record of payment (and that students do not misplace a check or cash.)
Kindergarten: $19.00
First grade: $17.00
Second grade: $17.50
Third grade: $22.00
Fourth grade: $22.00
Where applicable, the cost of student planners is included in school fees. Families who are financially unable to pay for necessary materials should refer to Board Policy 6152.01 regarding fee waivers. Applications are available in the school office. Failure to pay school fees will result in school records being held until payment is received.
Free and Reduced Price Meals
Applications are due by September 27, 2018.
Do not fill out an application if you received a letter about direct certification for free meals. You will be notified by mail of your child's status. Until notification you must provide your child with a lunch or lunch money.
You may apply for meal benefits at this link or complete the below application.
Food Services: 614-833-3645
Additionally, each week the H.O.P.E. Packs Program offers a weekend bag of food for children who meet the requirements. If your child in the past has received a H.O.P.E. Pack, have been eligible for free or reduced lunch, or your household income is low, complete the below application to receive the weekly food bags throughout the school year.
PLSD Plan for Progress (P4P)
Pickerington Schools will hold two informal public events in September. At these events, the community is invited to hear about the Plan for Progress (P4P) and discuss their ideas for the district’s future with our superintendent, Dr. Chris Briggs. The events will be:
6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12, at the Sycamore Plaza Branch of the Pickerington Library (across from Pickerington High School North.)
6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 24, at the main branch of the Pickerington Library (off Opportunity Way near Pickerington High School Central.)
We also encourage you to visit our website at www.pickerington.k12.oh.us/p4p/ to learn about the Plan for Progress. While there, click on the link that will allow you to take a brief survey in which you may share your priorities in the areas of academic excellence, efficient operations, and modern facilities. We look forward to hearing from you and hearing your thoughts as we develop the Plan for Progress, which will pave the way into the future for Pickerington Schools.
PLSD CommUNITY Fair
Pickerington Schools will celebrate its third annual CommUNITY Fair from 11 am to 2 pm Saturday, September 29, at Pickerington High School Central. The event spotlights and celebrates the diversity that is Pickerington!
We are looking for families who would like to participate in the event and help share their cultures with the rest of the community. If your family is interested, fill out this form:
Please contact joni_scipione@plsd.us or beth_klamo@plsd.us with questions.
