Welcome back to the families of Pawnee School! We are all looking forward to a great year! This has been one of the most interesting times we have had for our school, community, and as a Nation. Some of us have not seen each other in person since last March when the pandemic changed so many things for us all. We hope this summer has been both refreshing and productive for all of you, and some of your life has gotten back to normal! Summer staff have been working hard up at the school to prepare for the new academic year by cleaning, ordering supplies, and doing routine summer repairs. We are excited about some of the safety improvements made to your school so we can resume in-person learning. We will be following the calendar published last April with a couple minor modifications. Please see our website or Pawnee App for the latest updates regarding starting school; including relaxation of current COVID rules as some of them are set to expire soon. The board makes the final decisions regarding how these rules affect the district. I know the one many of you are watching is the mask order. If you have a high school student and would like to review or change their schedule, plan on stopping by and spending some time with me in the afternoon of August 13th. You can also call the office and make an appointment for an earlier day. Schedule changes are also possible the first week of class. Screening for symptoms of COVID should start at home. This will help the district keep all the students and staff safe and keep us in school. If your student is sick for any reason, please keep them at home. At this time “Back to School Night” will be postponed due to restrictions and complications in staying in compliance with the current COVID rules. We plan to have a back to school celebration once some of the restrictions are lifted and we can all really enjoy the evening! Thanks, Bret Robinson, Supt.

CHSAA just released their approved calendar for sports and activities. They have delayed most fall sports including football and volleyball until spring. Please reference the article posted on the chsaanow website. We will keep you posted as we move forward.

Please help us celebrate Graduation and 8th Grade Continuation on Sunday July 12! See the Calendar tab and News tab for details!

Congratulations to Erin Ellis! Erin won 1st Place at the 2020 FBLA State Leadership Conference in the Public Speaking Event! This was held virtually and qualifies her for the National Level FBLA event to be held next week.

Parents and students; as you finish up your first week of assignments it is our hope that you have worked hard, and established a routine and learning environment. Remember that these assignments need to be ready for the bus or office turn-in Monday when you will also get assignments for the next week. As issues come up with your schoolwork, please let us know so we can help. This is new and different, but it is what we have to do for the time being. We miss you and look forward to seeing you soon!

See the links to COVID-19 for more details on the spread of the virus. We suggest you get on a set schedule for your at-home education.

Don’t put off getting your assignments done or let them pile up. Also, we have an update for those of you who are taking advantage of our food program or would like to. It is for all students and it is pretty good!
