~News From the Lunchroom~
Breakfast
The Petersburg School Board has approved our school as a “Universal Breakfast” school. This means we will be serving most students breakfast in their classrooms. Kindergarten students will be served breakfast in the cafeteria for routine and structure. Students in 2nd and 3rd grade will be served breakfast in the cafeteria due to morning interventions in those grade levels. Some breakfast options they may see are cinnamon roll, cereal, bagel bites, string cheese, sausage, english muffin, yogurt with granola, and Pop Tarts.
Lunch
All students will be eating lunch in the cafeteria Mon-Thur. On Fridays, K-2nd eat in the cafeteria, 3rd will eat in their classroom, 4th and 5th will be provided a lunch at noon to either eat in the cafeteria or take with them on the bus, to swim team, etc.

~News From the Counselor~
Newsletter from our Counselor. Mrs. Etcher works with all grades on social emotional skills, and she would like to share a monthly newsletter with families. The idea is to keep everyone updated on lessons she is teaching each month. Website: https://sites.google.com/pcsd....
~Safety Information~
Important safety information: When dropping students off at the playground end, please note that there is a designated drop-off area marked by the side of the playground fence and green cones. Vehicles enter the area following the arrows and drop off students between the cones and the fence. Students go directly to the playground area, and vehicles immediately drive through and exit, alleviating congestion and keeping the area safe. If you wish to escort your child or wait and watch your child enter the school, you will need to find a parking spot. Thank you for helping us keep all students safe.
~Happy Birthday to Who?~
We would like to wish the following students a Happy Birthday! Birthdays are recognized during morning announcements, and each student also receives a special certificate and a Scholastic Book from the birthday shelf.

~PSD Mitigation Plan~
Petersburg School District Covid protocols updated February 8, 2022
**Universal Mitigation Measures: Ventilation/air purifying units, handwashing and respiratory etiquette, symptom-free policy, N95 caliber masks available upon request, students and staff encouraged to receive COVID vaccine and booster, if eligible**
Masking is required upon entry to all schools, regardless of status. Nurse Oppenheim will provide information to staff members/classrooms regarding status each day to determine masking levels in classrooms.
Red - Universal Masking-Goes into effect when:
Primary (K-5): 4 or more classrooms have a positive case
Secondary (MS/HS): 3 or more students are positive, building-wide
Masking is required on buses, per federal statute.
Masking is required for spectators at all indoor extracurricular events, per Region 5 rules.
Yellow - Limited Optional Masking-Goes into effect when:
Primary (K-5): 3 or fewer classrooms have a positive case
Masking on the move: masks in hallways, masks in shared spaces (library), masks in mixed group sessions. Within individual classrooms, masks may be removed by students and staff. Students and staff may continue to wear a mask at any time if they choose.
When a child or staff member in a classroom tests positive and has been at school while infected: the classroom moves to STRICT universal masking for 10 days after exposure; test kits will be sent home with families to test at home; strict symptom monitoring; if sick, stay home.
Secondary (MS/HS): 2 or fewer students are positive, building-wide.
Masking on the move: masks in hallways, masks in shared spaces (auditorium, etc.). Within individual classrooms, masks may be removed by students & staff while seated and spacing of 3’ is possible. Students and staff may continue to wear a mask at any time if they choose.
Deciding when/where mask removal is possible will be guided by the teacher and will be based on common sense and logic with the understanding that some classrooms will not accommodate mask removal. Not all students will have the same opportunity to remove masks during the day simply because of their schedule/size of classrooms.
