October Calendar of Events
Effective Monday, Aug 30, masks will be required at all schools in the Pike County School Corporation for the next two weeks. This applies to all staff, students, and visitors regardless of vaccination or immunity status. Face shields, gators or masks are acceptable as they were last year. Masks will not be worn when students are physically active, such as during recess, PE or athletic practices or events.
By issuing the mask requirement, this will also allow us to conduct contact tracing at 3 ft during times that masks are worn. When masks are not worn, contact tracing will remain at a distance of 6 ft. This adjustment should reduce the number of individuals that will be quarantined and increase the number of students able to remain in the classroom.
We will continue to monitor our data and review options that will best serve our students and staff during the coming weeks.

Dear PCSC Guardian,
The Indiana Department of Education is requiring all students to provide proof of Indiana residency to their school, to be maintained by the school in the student’s permanent school record. All documentation is confidential and will remain within your child’s confidential educational record. For families with multiple students, documentation will only need to be sent to one child's school, but please be sure to include the names of all students in the household and the school they attend, as well as the guardian's name, on the proof of residency.
PCSC is collecting this documentation through an Indiana residency form, which is linked below and must be completed by every enrolled student. Once this information is submitted, a guardian will not have to re-file proof of residency unless the student’s address changes.
According to the IDOE, “Documentation may include such items as a current utility bill, telephone bill, tax return, bank statement, mortgage statement, rental/lease agreement, medical bill or other like information that provides a verifiable address.” All documents must be dated, clearly identified, and readable.
Guardians may provide verification documents as 1) hard copies delivered to the student’s school office or 2) pictures or PDF files submitted electronically using the link below:

Please provide your child’s residency verification documentation by Sep 1, 2021.
Thank you for your assistance in meeting this new requirement.
Dana Deffendoll
Assistant Superintendent,
Pike County School Corporation
Petersburg Elementary School will be having a "Meet the Teacher Night" on August 9th from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
This will be an informal "Come and Go" as you choose anytime during this hour. Parents and students will be able to meet their child's teacher and see their classroom. Our school counselor will also be there in case anyone needs to speak with her. Students may bring some of their school supplies if they want to.
PCSC has created a Back to School plan for the 2021-2022 school year that is focused on a commitment to uninterrupted in-person learning, student academics, and supportive environments, while also including guidelines to address the impact and spread of Covid-19, as required.
A brief version of this plan is available at https://5il.co/v5h1
Don't forget about the meals being offered this summer. Families can start anytime. #Summermeals
