Final Weekend for Scribner Fall Fundraiser!

Although this year looks very different, the PTA is still very active in supporting school programs and needs.
With your help the PTA has been able to provide white boards, teacher stipends for classroom needs, teacher treats, books, t-shirts, and so much more.
We can’t do that without your invaluable support both in time and finances this year!
We are so appreciative of everything our community is doing to keep our students, teachers, and administrators going.
If you haven’t yet, please consider supporting our PTA this year through our fall fundraiser or a donation on the Scribner PTA website – https://www.scribnerroadpta.org/
 
Simply register at: www.ShopFund.com to have the ability to share your link with family and friends!
All orders will be shipped directly to the home and will arrive 10 – 14 days after purchase.
 
We couldn’t do this without the support of our Scribner Families!
Thank you for all you do to support our great school!
Stay Safe and Healthy!

COVID Health Checks – Set Up Your PikMyKid App Now!

From Penfield Central School District —

Dear Parents:

As we recently shared with you, we have made the decision to move to an app called PikMyKid for our daily COVID health checks.
It’s important to note that while this app originated as a student dismissal app, we are not activating that piece of it at this time.
Any links regarding dismissal should be ignored.
We will only be using this app for the daily health checks.

We will begin using this app as of Thursday, Nov. 19th.
To prepare for this transition, you will need to download the app and register.
Please take the following steps to download the app and prepare it for use (these steps are also available on our website): PikMyKid Resources

  1. Download the app in the App Store or Google Play:
    1. Mac – https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pikmykid/id877617948
    2. Android –https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pickmykid.main
       
  2. Click on the “Register” button to start the registration process.
     
  3. After you complete the registration information and click “submit,” you will receive a text with a one-time pass code. Enter the code and your registration will be complete. A video tutorial on how to register is available here: https://youtu.be/LAn1VejKxZk
     
  4. The app is based on your cell phone number. If your child(ren) does not show up in the app after you have registered, it means we do not have your cell phone number in Infinite Campus or it is incorrect. To connect your number with your child(ren) in the app, please contact PikMyKid at support@pikmykid.com or (813) 864-7627. After you set up your app, please remember to login to your IC Parent Portal and update your information there as well.
     
  5. If you do not have a smartphone, you can complete the form online at: https://parentapp.pikmykid.com/#!/
     
  6. You will need to complete a form for each child every day before school. 

Please download the app and register today.
Please contact the PikMyKid support team at the email or phone number above if you have any questions.
We are excited to make this a faster, easier process for parents!
Thank you for your cooperation.

SEPTA presents Inclusion Opportunities Presentation

Providing Inclusive Opportunities & Activities for All Students

Provided by: Penfield Special Education PTA
Wed., November 18, 7-8pm
6:30-7pm – SEPTA Community Update

Presenter: Anita O’Brien, MA, CTRS.; Executive Director of Rochester Accessible Adventures
Rochester Accessible Adventures visualizes a world where people with disabilities are physically and socially
included in sports and recreation throughout their lifetime. RAA contracts with municipalities, schools and
recreation businesses to provide on-going support that takes them from training to implementation so they
operate inclusively whenever their doors are open. Anita will discuss RAA’s work, including the
#WeWillInclude movement which is pushing out an Inclusion Ambassador Training to provide a common
understanding of Inclusion in Recreation and can be used to invite communities to embrace action-oriented
implementation which connects children, youth and adults with disabilities to accessible and welcoming
recreation and sports.

Presenter: Lindsay Jewett; Area Director for Rochester Best Buddies
Best Buddies in New York offers One-to-One Friendship, Integrated Employment, and Leadership
Development programs for individuals with and without disabilities. Though Best Buddies was founded to
provide more opportunities for those individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities we have
discovered that our Peer Buddies (students without disabilities) are provided with just as many opportunities
for growth and impactful change. Lindsay will share how the Best Buddies program helps to create inclusive
opportunities for students k-12, college and beyond.
