The Beach Forecast #3

Greetings,

Parents I want to remind everyone that part of our school expectations is for our families to be an active part. This includes attending a monthly meeting. You must attend one of the listed events (flyer below) each month - credit does not carry over. Families that miss two or more will be invited to our Intervention and Appeals Committee. This Monday is our last opportunity for meeting credit with our Community Partner night (see flyer below under the PTA section).

We are experiencing some issues with texting on the middle school side and parents; they are texting you. If a student does not feel well, they must go through our student services and either see Ms. Frey or Nurse Heather. Students are not permitted to be on their cell phones during school hours.

This past week our 5th grade students were visited by Meteorologist Greg Dee. The students had an amazing visit and learned about the weather and what the job of a meteorologist entails. Please visit our FB / Instagram page for the news clip.

Parents, we are in need of gently used clothes that would meet our dress code requirements. These donations would help our clothing closet for when students spill something on them or get dress coded. We are in greatest need on the middle school side. We appreciate any donations being dropped off in our office.

Middle school sports seasons are very fast this year. We are getting ready for basketball season to start. All paperwork is due by October 9th. We have a new process, and students will turn in their paperwork in the middle school cafeteria during the morning instead of the front office. Girls tryouts will be 10/13 @ 2:20 & Boys tryouts will be on 10/15 @ 2:20. Pick up is at 3:15.

Middle school families, soccer season is coming up in December. We are actively looking for coaches for Boys & Girls. If you are interested, please reach out to Mrs. Altenore at altenorec@pcsb.org.

A quick reminder that school pictures are Monday the 28th. Picture packets went home on Monday, but you can also find the QR code below.

8th grade students interested in attending Osceola High School please see the attachment below for information on how to shadow a student. This is only open to 8th grade students, and it is considered an excused absence. Additionally, I encourage families to look at high school websites for information on shadowing. Each school has a different process and dates for signing up.

Parents, as previously shared there is road construction on Duhme Road that will impact the sidewalks and possibly traffic. Please see the attachment below for more information.

I am looking at putting together a committee to discuss possible dress code changes for next year. There are a few areas that are repeatedly causing dress code violations, and I would like to examine a better way of defining or changes these for next year. If you are interested, please fill out this form:

Dress Code Committee – Fill out form

It is that time of year that we ask families to help complete our media center survey. This survey is designed to gather input and recommendations for materials that you would like to see in our school library media center. It would be great if you can submit your response by Sept. 30, 2026. Thank you!

I know the holidays seem far away, but we are already planning. If your family may need assistance, please reach out to Mrs. Motte or Mrs. Malchodi. Below is a flyer with specific information.

Please see below for any calendar items that may pertain to your student:

9/28 - Community Partner Night for meeting credit (see flyer under PTA section)

10/5 - Home VB game @ 4:45

10/9 - Quarter 1 ends

10/12 - No school - teacher workday

Thank you

Drop off begins at 7:15. Students may not exit their car until this time. We ask everyone to pull up all the way to avoid gaps in the line and have an efficient and timely process.

Elementary school:

• Elementary students will exit their vehicle in the designated areas
• Students will head to the covered court area and remain supervised until class begins
• If they wish to eat breakfast, there will be students to escort them to the elementary cafe
• If you have a student in elementary and middle, you may choose either line to use and they may walk to their designated areas

Middle school:

• Students may exit their vehicle from the covered walkway by the middle school office all the way to the cafeteria.
• Students will enter the cafeteria and remail in their until the bell rings to release to class at 7:38.
• Students that want breakfast will enter the elementary cafe to eat and then head to the middle school cafe till classes begin.

Pick Up for elementary begins at 1:55 and 2:15 for middle. Parents, we ask that you not arrive prior to 30 minutes of dismissal. Arriving too early blocks the flow of traffic for visitors, deliveries and early dismissal for appointments.

Early release for appointments: Parents, we understand that students need to be released early from time to time for appointments. We ask that if you need to pick up your student, please arrive prior to 30 minutes from dismissal (ex: elementary by 1:25, middle by 1:45). This will allow you to utilize the carline without issue.
