information in this newsletter. As always, please call the school office (773-2017) with any
questions. We look forward to seeing you soon!
PCIS Orientation-PCIS Orientation is an opportunity for students to pick up their schedules,
tour the building, find out busing information, and have their school pictures taken. Also you

of students with last names A-L will be in commons/gym area from 5:00-6:00pm, families of

Parent Authorization Forms-Included in this newsletter, please find a copy of the 2015-16
Parent Authorization Form that must be completed and turned in during orientation. This form
is kept on file in the school office and used when it becomes necessary to contact a parent or
guardian for any reason. Therefore, it is very important that you notify the office immediately if
the information on the form changes during the year.
Please be aware that when listing emergency contacts that only those people listed on the
Parent Authorization Form will be permitted to sign your child out of the school. If you wish
to add or delete someone from the list, you must come to the school. Changes will not be made
over the phone.
In this newsletter the Student Health Information Form is included. Please be sure to complete
this form even if your child has no medical issues. This form will also need returned during
orientation.
Student Drop Off and Pick-up-Students being dropped off or picked up by parents are to
use the front doors by the commons. This is due to the fact that bus students are dropped off
and picked up in the north side lot. Thanks for your cooperation with this procedure.
Dress Code Reminder-For the benefit of all students, we ask that certain guidelines be
followed. Students should wear appropriate shoe attire at all times. Flip flops are not
permitted. No see-through clothing will be permitted. Clothing should be size and seasonally
appropriate and adequate for outdoor recess at all times. Shorts, skirts and dresses are to be of
an appropriate length for school as determined by the principal.
School Fees-School fees this year are $40.00 for PCIS students. During orientation full or
partial payments will be accepted.
Pictures, Pictures, Pictures-In an effort to better serve the students of PCIS, school pictures
will be taken during orientation on August 10, 11, & 12. This will eliminate pictures being taken
in the fall during school. Picture information will be mailed by Lange Photography to students’
residences. Packet information is also available on the PCIS website. Retakes have been
scheduled for October 22nd.
