We are coming into the cold season where our weather is up and down each day. Please make sure that your student is coming to school prepared to be outside. We try to go outside unless it is 25 degrees or below. Hats and gloves should come on those cold days as well. This month, we are focusing on the character trait of citizenship and what it means to be a good citizen. Students are earning tickets for demonstrating this character trait for an opportunity to select from the Babbitt Buggy. We really like to students who demonstrating those ROAR model characteristics each day!

It is always a good reminder for families regarding calamity days and the procedures if school is delayed or canceled. You can find the information on the district website. Key points are as follows:

Phone and email alerts

• Pickerington Schools will announce delayed starts and calamity days through pre-recorded telephone calls to current parent/guardians' telephone numbers on file with the district.
• The District also sends email messages about any delayed start or calamity day via this website.
• It is important to keep student contact information and contact preferences current by logging into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal website and updating your contact information.

Hazardous weather conditions

• Information on road conditions from transportation staff, law enforcement and road crews. The district gives careful consideration to the most dangerous roads in the district. They can be treacherous, even if your street looks clear.
• Accumulated snow and ice.
• Temperature and wind chill.
• Impact on transportation services. School bus diesel fuel begins to gel at temperatures of zero degrees or below.
• Weather predictions (including those from a weather alert service).
• Building conditions (e.g., electricity, heat, water)
