Miss Willgruber and her 5th grade students have been working on their Pinata sculptures in Art Class. Students learned about the history and culture of Pinatas as well as how they are made. Students sketched their ideas and used various sculpture materials like cardboard, paint and tissue paper, to make them three-dimensional. You will be able to see more of these beautiful creations at our Art Show in the Spring.

Students have been SOARING high this week! 🌟 October’s PBIS theme is Safety—remind your students how to stay safe at school, on the bus, and in the community.

Art to Remember is a fundraiser that helps parents and schools preserve children’s artwork, while raising money for art education with custom printed keepsakes. The organization will scan in the artwork students completed at school, create a custom order form for every child, and parents can order online. Families, friends, and students all get to keep something that celebrates their creativity. Not only is it something each child can be proud of but something that they can remember.

We are so excited to announce that 79% of our families have registered with PickUp Patrol. Thank you to all who have already signed up and assigned your child's default plan. If you have not already done so, please reach out to Ms. Bernardo for assistance at bernardoj@casdschools.org.

PickUp Patrol provides you with a convenient way to make changes to your child’s dismissal plans and helps ensure that students are accurately dismissed each day.

How It Works:

1. Your child’s regular dismissal plan will be entered into the system. This is called their Default Plan.

2. Whenever your child is doing something other than their Default Plan, you’ll submit a Plan Change via PickUp Patrol.

3. Examples of a Plan Change:

• Your child has a doctor's appointment and will be leaving early.
• Your child normally rides the bus, but is getting picked up today.
• Your child is getting picked up by someone other than yourself.

REGISTER: Registration emails from PickUp Patrol went out with a link to set up your account. The parent portal is free to parents and can be accessed from your phone or computer. The link in your registration email will be live for 48 hours. As soon as you receive it, please log in and confirm your child’s default plan. If you did not receive your link, please contact Ms. Bernardo at bernardoj@casdschools.org or by calling the main office at 610-383-3765.

If you have any questions, please first check the PickUp Patrol Parent Guide & if you need additional assistance, let us know. If you do not see an email from PickUp Patrol, please check your HAC account to make sure we have the updated email.
