Important Reminders:

Parent Pick-Up: Afternoon Dismissal

Attention: All vehicles should remain in the pick-up line during dismissal time. Vehicles should not utilize parking spaces or cut the line. Students being picked up are able to enter the vehicle once it arrives at the pick-up circle. Students cannot walk through the parking lot or through the pick-up line to get to a vehicle. That is a safety concern.

Walkers: All students walking after school must exit the building through the front entrance and utilize the cross walk to exit the campus.

Bus Information:

A request for a change in bus dismissal needs to be submitted to the Main office by 11:00am. Email phmsmainoffice@rsd20.org. Request for a bus change is only for childcare purposes or an emergency.

PTO NEWS

What is Screenagers???

Screenagers: Elementary School Edition is a documentary that addresses issues that elementary school-aged kids, parents, and educators are facing, i.e., smartwatches in class, unhooking from and monitoring video gaming, social media pressures, and exposure too young, what research shows is a healthy amount of screen time, and many solutions to these and other challenges. It’s only 54 minutes long!

Why is this important???

We know that so many families and schools are struggling with their youngest children’s use of phones, computers, and watches. By watching the film together, we are taking the first steps in establishing a village to share our struggles, hopes, and solutions in hopes of empowering us to parent in a way around technology that promotes the mental well-being of our children.

By viewing and discussing this film, we aim to consider healthy limits for our youngest children so that their development will be on track emotionally, socially, and physically. Our greatest hope is that families and friend groups can work together to support our community of kids.
