Good afternoon Packer families
This is Dr. Finkbiner and I want to welcome you to the 2020-2021 school year. Even though the start of this year is certainly unconventional, I am confident in our staff and scholars to continue with our great educational program. We have made a YouTube video to explain our expectations for coming back on campus - - please click on the link located on our website.
A couple of reminders for the first week of school:
On Monday - there will be a homeroom from 7:25-7:35. This will be for on-campus scholars to receive their schedules and move to 1st period. MyPCS scholars may log onto 1st period at 7:35 to begin class. We will work very hard not to disrupt the classes as scheduled. MyPCS scholars can log onto the classes through Clever - then click on Canvas and then Calendar to access their course.
To apply for free/reduced lunch: www.myschoolapps.com The approval is usually a 24-hour turnaround. This will need to be done by Oct. 3rd. If an application is not completed by this date, you will need to make arrangements by sending your child with lunch money or their own lunch.
To set up pre-payments for lunch account: The website is www.myschoolbucks.com. You will need the student ID number. There is a $2.50 transaction fee. You will be able to reload automatically and apply restrictions to the account with those options. We are also accepting cash and checks as well.
Breakfast will be served before school from 7:00 am to 7:25 am, offering a hot entrée and cold choices. There will be passing time between the first 3 periods, which grab & go breakfast will be offered. Breakfast is NO CHARGE.
Lunch will be at the end of the day and will offer a hot or cold entree. Busses will be departing at 2:00 so riders will need to make sure they get their lunches. We will have multiple points of sale so it should not be an issue.
I am excited to begin our year - - I am confident we will meet any challenges we face and come out better and stronger as we do this together.
We will see you in person or on-line Monday
