Mrs. Pecuch is the guidance counselor for 1st & 2nd grades (pictured right).
They are excited to welcome our students back to the building for hybrid learning and are here to help our students have a successful year both socially and academically.
Summer Reading Challenge
I hope you had a fabulous summer reading in the sun! Maybe you decided to write in your journal about all your summer activities. Did you read for six hours during the summer, or write in your journal? If so, please let me know that you completed the summer challenge!
There are two ways you can let me know:
1.) Bring in your reading log to me.
2.) Have your parent send me an email stating you have completed the challenge.
I can’t wait to hear from you!

Reminder: Student Health Checks
As part of the Health and Safety Plan, it is important that all parents/guardians check their child/children for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 daily. We asked that you conduct a routine, daily health check prior to sending your child to school. This health check should include the following:
- Temperature check
- Symptom screening
Please reference the below symptom screening tool when completing your morning health checks.
A note from our nurses: When in doubt, please stay home! This will help keep our students and staff safe!
