Did you know… there is a Parent Resources page on the PCK website designed just for you?  The Parent Resources link (menu on left side of home page) will take you to important information specifically for parents. We recently posted a Safety & Security link on that page to an overview and map of our Emergency Reunification Process,  as well as our Safety and Security protocol.  The reunification process details how we will conduct an emergency, offsite ‘reunification’ of parents and students.  For example, if we had a gas leak (fire, water main break, etc.) here in the building and needed to evacuate, we would move all students to our nearby reunification site and dismiss in a very orderly fashion. In more serious situations, or in extreme weather conditions, we would bus all of our students to Chaparral High School and run our reunification process from there.  During all of our safety planning and training, the experts have repeatedly stressed that the key to a smooth reunification process involves all parents knowing about, and strictly following, the plan as it is laid out…so advanced communication, as well as timely communication during the event, is imperative.  If you visit the Parent Resources page on our website, you can bring yourself up to speed on our reunification procedure.

It’s not too late!

Dress Code Committee – Volunteers Needed

Are you interested in serving on the PCK Dress Code Committee? The PCK Board is seeking up to 3 parent volunteers to serve on a new Dress Code Committee.  Last month the PCK Board passed a new policy creating a dress code committee.  See the new policy below.  If you are interested in serving on this committee, please email the board. 

Dress Code Committee Policy: Each fall, the board shall appoint up to 5 members to the dress code committee, consisting of at least one board member, at least one staff member and up to three parents of current PCK students.  The committee will meet a minimum of twice per year in October and March.  Any potential dress code revisions must be approved by a majority of the Dress Code Committee and will then be presented by the Dress Code Committee at the board meetings in November and April (with possible extensions to the December and May meetings if additional information and/or discussion is needed).  Any revisions approved by a majority of the board will take effect on Jan. 1 or the first day of school in the fall.

All dress code proposals must go through the dress code committee.  Emergency dress code changes/clarifications can by proposed by the school director at any time, but will still require a majority board vote.

Mark your calendars!

Needed: iPhone 6 (Plus, s and s Plus)

In an effort to create a class set of iPhones to be used for Google Expeditions throughout the school, we are soliciting donations of iphones 6 or 6s from families that may otherwise turn them into their carrier this holiday season. We plan to offer a $150 tax credit (based on current market value of the models) for each phone. 

For more information on Google Expeditions, please go to this link.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND PHONES INTO THE SCHOOL OR DROP OFF. Simply email Jeanne Reslan at jreslan@ckcs.net for more information on this process. Thank you so much for your generosity.
