MSAD #4 had an emergency school board meeting last night on 9/2/21. Our Safe Return to School plan has not changed and is posted on our website. The minutes for this meeting will be approved on 9/14/21 and then will be posted to our website. The medical community has asked for our support in keeping the community safe. As a district, we will continue to have open dialog about the best way to support our community and keep students safe while in our schools. This is a fluid process and will be re-visited by the board at least monthly.
Positive COVID Case 9-3-21
Emergency School Board Mtg. 9-2-21
First day of school for 7th, 8th and 9th grade is tomorrow. Freshmen will be climbing Borestone mountain so make sure to have good hiking shoes and a sweatshirt. We will provide water bottles and lunch.
Friday's girl's home soccer game vs PVHS has been changed to an away game now. Bussing issues on their end.
Hutch and I are flip flopping the games.
PCHS will now host PVHS on Tuesday, October 12.
The deadline for mandatory vaccinations (DTaP, Polio, MMR, chicken pox, Tetanus booster and meningococcal) is this Wednesday. All who were under-vaccinated have been sent multiple letters. Attendance on 9/1 will not be allowed (by law) without full vaccinations. If your child is on a catch-up schedule, please submit the projected schedule signed by your PCP. Records and doctor’s notes can be faxed to 876-4291.
PCHS Sports Boosters will be meeting in Emily Wilson's room at 6:00 on Tuesday, August 31st. We would love to have some new members join us! We really do need all the help we can get to support our Athletic teams at PCHS! Go PIRATES!!

This announcement goes out to parents of 5th grade girls. If you have a daughter who is interested in playing middle school soccer, please email me at jgallant@sad4.org. The team is short on players so there is a need at this time for 5th graders. They must be able to show proof of a physical within the past two years. Paperwork can be picked up at PCHS in the main office. Practices are scheduled daily 4:30-6:00.
The slides presented at the PCSS Return to School Parent Information Meeting have been posted to the website on the COVID Information Page.

This is another reminder that philosophical and religious vaccination exemptions are no longer, by law, accepted by the schools, with very few exceptions. I sent out one last letter (the third since April) on the 13th to those students who are currently not up-to-date. The letter lets you know which vaccinations your child is in need of in order to begin the school year on 9/1. If your child is on a catch-up schedule, please have your PCP fax a signed schedule of proposed dates on which he/she expects to administer the missing vaccinations. An acceptable practitioner, according to the DOE, includes a DO, MD, NP or PA. No other providers are accepted by the DOE. Please email me with any questions as I don’t routinely check the FB page. wviera@sad4.org
Just a friendly reminder that on Sunday, August 15 at 6:00, I will be holding my parent/athlete meeting for fall sports. This meeting will be held in the gym and all will be asked to social distance. Your child's paperwork and schedules will be made available. Go Pirates!
When searching for the athletic schedules, please do not click on the icon with the picture of the sprinter. Scroll down to where it says Athletics. Here is where you will find the schedules. The other system is not set up yet. Hope this helps.
All fall schedules are now posted on the SAD#4 website.
