We are wrapping up the end of the 2021 calendar year. We hope everyone has a safe and happy Winter Break. Also, Happy New Year to all of you!

Parent Volunteer Opportunity - We have an opportunity for our families to come together once a month for some campus beautification projects. If you would like to join a “PCS Parent Campus Beautification Team” please contact Courtney Miller at Mrscmiller@gmail.com There will be different projects that will help to keep our campus beautiful for our families and students. Some ideas include litter pick-up, planting outside each building, garden clean up, etc. With enough help we can keep our campus beautiful and it will only take a little bit of time. We would love to get this team together on Wednesday, December 15th while the weather is still nice to help with litter pick-up. Contact Courtney if you would like to help!

Winter Break Reading Challenge - Please see the attached flier from our librarian, Mrs. Ramsey.

Attached here is a flier. Washington University is conducting a research study for children 7-8-years old. The study takes place in their child-friendly lab space on the Washington University medical campus along Forest Park Avenue. The study involves one appointment that lasts approximately 2.5 hours. The families who participate in this study earn $75 for their time. If needed, they can arrange transportation to and from the lab.
During the appointment, a trained researcher will assist the child in completing an EEG. EEGs are entirely non-invasive technology that measure brain activity. The child will then play games on the computer that involve earning points for a prize. All tasks are age appropriate and designed to be fun. While the child is completing their EEG, the parent will be asked to complete several self-report questionnaires about their and their child’s health, feelings, and behaviors. Should families participate, all information they provide will be kept confidential. This study has been approved by Washington University School of Medicine's Institutional Review Board.
Water Bottles/Cups: Friendly reminder to have your child bring a water bottle/cup to school! It is also helpful to label your child's bottle with their name on it so that it can be easily found. Drinking fountains are currently shut off per safety guidelines. Touchless water bottle fillers remain available for use in all buildings. Please reach out if you need assistance acquiring a water bottle for your child.

Masks: Please continue to send your child with a mask. We have several students who come in without them. They are provided with a mask in the case of a broken one or a one time forgotten mistake, but please do your part to ensure that resources aren't wasted.
