Bruceton School

Your child brought home information on PikMyKid last Friday. Parents, please make sure to register using the unique QR code your child brought home. Until we completely switch over to PikMyKid for dismissal, you will still need to send a note to your child's teacher to change dismissal methods from bus to parent pick-up or vice versa. Once we have everyone registered, we'll be able to full make the switch over to PikMyKid and we'll keep you informed throughout the whole process.

Today is Groundhog Day! Here are some pictures of Miss Casto's kindergarteners watching to see if the groundhog saw his shadow ... he did and the kids were excited for an early spring. The kids then learned how shadows are made and conducted experiments about how light plays a role in making shadows. #SchoolOfChampions #GoodThingsHappenHere

Our middle school kids are getting things packed to take our food drive donations over to the food pantry. Thank you to everyone who donated. #SchoolOfChampions #GoodThingsHappenHere

Bruceton School will soon be implementing a new service that will make parent pick-up , bus rider, and dismissal changes easier for parents. It's called PikMyKid and it gives parents more control over their child's dismissal methods. This Friday, students will be receiving information for their parents from their homeroom teachers. If your child doesn't bring home a PikMyKid packet, please ask them about it. The packet will contain information on the features of PikMyKid, downloading the parent app, and more. You can find help documents and guides for PikMyKid here: https://www.prestoncountyschools.com/o/bruceton/documents/pikmykid/576009 Here is a video with the PikMyKid welcome information: https://player.vimeo.com/video/849199855?h=0890fa3f8d& This video explains how to register for and use the parent app: https://player.vimeo.com/video/589995511 We'll be sharing more information about PikMyKid over the coming weeks. Make sure now to download the parent app and make sure you're registered.
