■ Thursday, OCT 15 — DAY 4: C IS FOR CONNECTED DURING ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE!
🦅 PETERSBURG ROCC CHALLENGE — DAY 4: CONNECTED COMMUNITY!
This week, our Stedman Eagles are learning what it means to ROCC during arrival and departure by respecting each other's time and space. Today’s focus is BEING CONNECTED!
During arrival and departure, being connected means remembering that our choices affect others—moving along when finished in the cafeteria, keeping hallways clear, and giving teachers their prep time.
TODAY’S COMMUNITY CHALLENGE: Respect shared time and school spaces! Ask a Stedman Eagle:
■ "Why is it important to leave hallways open before the bell rings?"
■ "How does giving teachers the time they need in the morning before the bell help our whole class?"
Being connected reminds us that our choices matter to the entire Petersburg community.

Petersburg School District – Student Safety Reminder
Dear PSD Families,
This morning, a student was injured by a vehicle while traveling to school. We want to assure our school community that the student is receiving the care they need. We are grateful to the Petersburg Police Department, first responders, school staff, and community members who responded quickly to assist and provide care.
As our mornings become darker this time of year, we want to take this opportunity to remind students and families of the importance of safety when walking or biking to and from school.
We encourage everyone to:
Use designated crosswalks and look carefully for traffic before crossing streets.
Be alert to vehicles, especially those entering or exiting driveways.
Wear helmets when riding bicycles.
Wear reflective clothing or gear to help drivers see pedestrians and bicyclists during darker morning and afternoon hours.
The district has reflective stickers available for students to place on backpacks and coats. We reminded students of this opportunity this morning and encourage anyone who would like reflective stickers to stop by the Stedman Elementary School office to pick some up.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe as they travel to and from school. We appreciate the continued care and support of our school community.
Kind regards,
Robyn Taylor
Superintendent
Petersburg School District
