September Newsletter

Welcome to your September Como-Pickton Newsletter, the best place to stay up-to-date on all things happening at our schools. This month features a note of good news from our Superintendent, the upcoming calendar of events, a highlight about Homecoming festivities, and some helpful information as we settle into this school year.

• Wednesday, September 16 is the Homecoming Tailgate Party (brought to you by the Booster Club) located in the Student Parking Lot. Bring the whole family for games, prizes, food, and even a Parade of Athletes! The Tailgate Party will be held from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m., and parking will be available in front of the Junior High, Elementary, and the new gym. It's going to be a GREAT time for everyone!

Como-Pickton has begun using Connect to communicate with students and parents. Connect is conveniently located right inside the Como-Pickton app.

Important note: Both parents AND students need to download the Como-Pickton app to utilize Connect. Our extracurricular teams will no longer use the communication apps they have used in the past. Moving forward, all teams will communicate through Connect.

*We know some parents have experienced difficulty logging in to the app. If you are still unable to log in, please reach out to Gina McCord (mccordg@cpcisd.net) or Lezley Brown (brownl@cpcisd.net) for help troubleshooting the issue.

Secondary students will need to download the Como-Pickton app and create an account using their school email address. Teachers and coaches will communicate with students through this app.

Here are a couple of announcements and forms from our PTO.

• It's time to sign-up for PTO. Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to join!
• PTO is having a Car Rider Fundraiser!
• One more reminder about the Friday Spirit Store
