COVID-19 Vaccination Plan for Staff: March 30 and Tentatively April 20
In collaboration with Truman Medical Center, the District will be holding closed COVID-19 vaccination clinics for staff, administering the first dose on Tuesday, March 30, and the second dose, tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, April 20, 2021.
As part of Missouri's vaccine deployment plan, teachers and staff are included in phase 1B - tier 3, which begins on March 15. PCR-3's staff vaccination clinics on March 30 and April 20 will be required work days for staff; but to allow every PCR-3 employee who wants the COVID-19 vaccine, ALL students will participate in their learning remotely, using AMI-X days. There will be no live instruction for students on these days, and these days will not be made up.
Community members are encouraged to visit and register for vaccinations via Missouri's COVID-19 Vaccine Navigator.

MAP Testing 3rd and 4th Grade
In a few weeks, students in grades 3rd and 4th grade will be participating in the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) Grade-Level Assessments.
General Information about the Missouri Assessment Program Grade-Level Assessments
The Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) Grade-Level Assessments evaluate students’ progress toward the Missouri Learning Standards. The MAP Grade-Level Assessments include assessments in the subject areas of English language arts (grades 3-8), mathematics (grades 3-8), and science (grades 5 and 8). MAP Grade-Level Assessments provide important information that contributes to decisions concerning individual students, groups of students, and educational programs. MAP testing was canceled last year state-wide due to the pandemic. This will be our 3rd and 4th grade students' first time taking the assessment. OUr students are in the process of taking the Practice MAP test to prepare them for the format and question types that they will see on the actual MAP test.
We do want parents of students in grade 3rd and 4th grade to get these dates on their calendars so that we can assure students will be in attendance.
