Car Tags

For the parents that will be picking up children on a regular schedule there will be CAR TAGS!

For both PES/PIC, you will be issued a Car Tag which will allow you to pull up and your child will come to the car.  No need for parking!!! If you have children in both buildings, the tag will be the same. 

You can pick up your Car Tags during the Ice Cream Social, or up until 6pm.  

See previous post for the Ice Cream Social times and dates! 

PIC 1st Day Lunch Survey & Lunch Program

PIC Families- If you intend for your child to have the school lunch program on the 1st day of school (8/22), be sure to fill out the 1st Day Lunch Survey on the PIC Website under "latest news". The fee for lunch is $2.45-Ham Sandwich on Whole Grain Bun, Broccoli, Baby Carrots, Lite Ranch Dip, Apple Fruit Roll-Up and Milk. You will need to send a check or you can set up an account online. SURVEY IS DUE 8/16.

Families New To The Lunch Program: If you set up your lunch account online, 1) go to Peotoneschools.org - Click on "Pay Fees" on the left side middle of the page. 2) Next you will click on "Peotone Elementary Food Service" on the left side of the screen for your students in K-5th grade (PIC/PES buildings).  3) From there you can enter the amount you want to place on your child's account.

Starting with the 2nd day of school when children get to school the teacher's will find out who is ordering lunch for that day. You will not need to place orders online or prior to the school day. That is how the Food Staff will know how much food to prepare for each building.  The money then is deducted from their food account when the child takes part in the Lunch Program for that given day.  You may set up an email reminder when the fund needs to be replenished.

Update to Kindergarten Families Teacher Assignment

Good news for the Kindergarten families!  Mrs. Davis worked hard to get your personal codes mailed so you can log into your parent portal to get your teacher assignment! Therefore, you will not have to call the office on the 15th.  If you do NOT have computer access, then you will need to call the office to get  your child's teacher assignment. Kudos to Mrs. Davis for getting that done so quickly!  

Ice Cream Social

Mark your calendars!! 

The PTO would like to kick off the year with an Ice Cream Social!

You can also bring your children's school supplies and drop them off while you're there.

PIC: August 20th (Wed) 2:30-4pm 

PES: August 21st (Thurs)

Families with the last name beginning with:

A-K 2:00-3:00pm

L-Z 3:00-4:00pm

*** The office of both buildings will be open until 6pm for parents who want 

to drop their supplies,  but can't make it to the Ice Cream Social. 

For the working families who wonder why this event is during the day and not at night: This time the students are given an opportunity to meet their teacher and teachers are only required to be in the building until the end of the school day, according to their contracts.  Also keeping in mind, this is a PTO sponsored event, not a school function like the Orientation Night. Hope this helps answer some questions! :)

Update for Kindergarten Parents - Teacher Assignments

The Kindergarten families will be calling the office on August 15th to get their teacher assignments from the office staff.  Details will be in the letter about when to call. Mrs. Davis has a letter going home to explain that and the "Meet & Greet".  

** 1st-5th grade families see the previous post about teacher assignments if you missed it.
