Hello PRCS Families! Thank you for your assistance and patience as we work to smooth out the bumps in our arrival/dismissal and parent pick-up process. Our goal is to manage traffic so as not to cause a back-up of cars lining School Street and Route 126. This is for safety purposes in the event an emergency vehicle would need to get through. We have designed the pick-up process to balance the number of people arriving at any one time and in our two lines (lower loop - gym doors and upper loop - lobby doors). As it is designed, we should have 15 people picking up during our first wave 2:50-3:00 (alphabetically by last name A-L), and 15 people picking up during our second wave at 3:00 (alphabetically by last name M-Z). This is further divided between the upper loop/lobby doors (grades K, 1, 4 and 5), and the lower loop/gym doors (grades 2 and 3 and any siblings of those in grade 2 and 3). I would ask that you please follow this procedure to help our traffic flow smoothly. Please do not arrive earlier than your time unless you have spoken to the office and let us know you need an exception. When we have people all arrive at one time, it causes the road to become very congested. Once again, thank you for your help in this process! If you have any questions about your time or location for pickup, please don't hesitate to call the office at 582-6268 and we will be happy to assist you. I know it can be a bit complicated! Sincerely, Christina O'Neal, Ph.D.

PRCS Open House Hello PRCS Families! We are pleased to be able to invite you to a modified version of Open House on Monday, August 30th. We will have two different times for the visit based on your child’s last name. You will meet your child’s teacher out in front of the school at the set time. Teachers will briefly introduce themselves and say hello, then take children inside to see their classroom for about 15 minutes. Children will need to wear masks to enter the school. Families will need to wait outside, which allows us to follow CDC guidelines to limit nonessential personnel in the school. Teachers will then bring children back outside to their families. Time: 5:00 - 5:30 p.m. If your child’s last name starts with A - L 5:45 - 6:15 p.m. If your child’s last name starts with M-Z Please arrive on time so all children can go in together with their teacher. Due to limited parking, we also ask that when your child is done you exit the parking areas, since we will have another group needing to park. While this is different than a traditional open house, we are glad we can offer the opportunity for families and children to meet their teachers and ease some of that first day anxiety. Our grade 4 and 5 classrooms will look a bit different as well, since many of these classes will be moving to a new space once the modular classrooms are set up. Please do not hesitate to call us at school at 582-6268 or email if you have any questions . We look forward to welcoming you to Pittston-Randolph Consolidated School! Yours in education, Christina O’Neal, Ph.D. Principal
