Welcome to November!
As the weather turns colder, please start sending your child with a light jacket, hat, and mittens/gloves. This is also a great time to check if last year's winter gear still fits!
We have indoor recess whenever the air temperature falls below Zero or a windchill below -10 degrees. Please ensure your child is prepared for the daily temperatures:
40 to 60 Degrees: Arms covered (Boots & Snow Pants - only needed for muddy spring conditions)
32 to 40 Degrees: Jackets, Hats, Boots
Below 32 Degrees: All Winter Gear- Boots, Snow Pants, Jackets, Hats, Gloves
Note: Students without boots will be required to stay on the blacktop.
Students may leave their gear in their lockers during the week rather than bringing it back and forth every day. Full gear is not required for dismissal. We have spare clothes for accidental forgotten items. If your child needs assistance getting winter gear, please contact the office or school counselor.
As the weather changes I wanted to bring to your attention the process for Distance Learning Days at PIS, which are intended to keep the educational momentum going while providing some structured learning. Learning includes Live Instruction, which is recorded and posted in Google Classrooms for later viewing if unable to join live, as well as drop in meetings thought out the day. We follow the process outlined in this PIS family guide. Students unable to attend or complete the work will be allowed to do so once we return to school. Teachers will be reviewing these processes with students over the next few weeks.
Again this year the Malone Parent Committee will be providing prizes for Turkey Bingo which will take place on the afternoon of Tuesday, November 24. There is No School on Monday November 30, as the teachers have professional development.
Enjoy the Thanksgiving Break!
Regards, Principal Kosmalski

As we want to start off the school year strong, please know that Prescott Intermediate School is open to students at 7:30 AM. A warning bell rings at 7:50 AM, and students are expected to be at their desks, ready to learn, by the official start of the day at 7:55 AM.
Arriving on time is a critical component of making this year great for several reasons:
Academic Momentum: The first few minutes of class are vital for setting the day's objectives. Missing this "launch" often leads to immediate stress and the overwhelming feeling of being behind before the first lesson even begins, creating unnecessary gaps in understanding.
Building Responsibility: Consistent punctuality fosters time-management skills that will serve students well as they transition to higher grade levels.
Classroom Community: When students arrive on time, they have the space to connect with peers and teachers, strengthening the friendships and respect that make our school environment thrive.
Thank you for your continued partnership in ensuring your child arrives with enough time to settle in and start their day with confidence. Let’s work together to make this school year the most productive yet!

The safety of our students is very important in every decision we make including making weather-related closings. As these decisions are made we will make every effort to notify families and staff as soon as we are able to confirm the conditions are truly materializing and not just speculation. Please review all the things that are considered with winter weather closings.
