SeeSaw Update for Parents
Thank you for your patience as SeeSaw has worked to mitigate the parent messaging incident that occurred on Wednesday. SeeSaw has resolved the "credential stuffing attack" that occurred within the parent messaging app. If your parent account was compromised, then you should have received a direct message from SeeSaw to change your password. Messaging from SeeSaw will be turned back on on Monday, September 19.

Panorama Survey
We would like your child’s feedback via a 20-30 minute online survey that they will be completing at school. Note that only third and fourth grade students will take the survey. This survey will provide us with social and emotional learning (SEL) information. SEL is the process through which children and adults apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. These are the skill sets that promote success in life. We are partnering with Panorama Education to support us in the survey process. Please see the information in the letter below. If a parent or guardians choose to opt-out, they should do so by September 23.

Nov. 8 Bond Passage Qualifies PLSD for Nearly $75 Million in OFCC Funds
Passage of the November 8 bond issue will enable Pickerington Schools to nearly double the money spent on our schools — for free! In addition to building a new junior high and adding classrooms to both high schools, with bond passage the district will qualify for approximately $75 million in future funding from the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission. These funds can be used to address future capital needs in our schools. Community approval of the bond issue will help PLSD and its students for years to come! Learn more about the bond issue on the district's website. And, don’t forget that the voter registration deadline is Oct. 11. Information about registering to vote and how to vote is available at: www.VoteOhio.gov.
