Principal's Message
Happy Fall,
I can't believe we have already made it to October! Please make sure you or your student are on schedule and keeping up with your work. Please take a moment to review our VLA board policy regarding grading. VLA students will not receive an interim or a 9 weeks grade. VLA Students receive a semester 1 grade, semester 2 grade, and a final grade. Please click the link below to read more.
It is essential that we all work together to ensure your child is on track. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me via email.
Thank you for all that you do!
Dr. Kara Jackson

NOV. 8 BOND PASSAGE QUALIFIES PLSD FOR ~$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.
