2021 Square One Art

Scribner Road PTA Announcements, Events

It’s time for Square One Art!
This year, consistent with most other activities, we are using our online tools to offer special art activities.
Square One is an activity typically done in our art classes at Scribner, where students create special artwork, send it to Square One, and then offer parents the opportunity to purchase items with your son’s or daughter’s art work on it.
This year, our students will have the chance to create special artwork, not in school, but at home!
With your help and the resources on the Square One Art website, valuable artwork you will cherish for years can still be enjoyed despite the restraints we face this year.

To begin the process, we encourage you to visit the parent portal: https://www.square1art.com/parent-portal/

Follow These Simple Steps:
Create Art (see theme suggestions below)
Use 8×8 paper provided or visit Square1Art.com for additional suggestions

  • Photograph and Upload Art by 2/12/21 at Square1Art.com or Send Back to Classroom Teacher by 2/12/21
  • Shop for Keepsakes

  • 1st = Rainbow/Self Portrait
  • 2nd = Sunshine Faces/Warm and Cool Colors

Colored pencils and crayons are not bright enough or are too messy for the project.

PCSD to Move to 100% Remote Learning as of Tomorrow (12/17/2020)

Scribner Road PTA Announcements

From Penfield Central School District –

Dear Penfield Families,

As cases of COVID-19 continue to rise in the community, we have seen an increase in the number of students and employees who have contracted the illness outside of school. Specifically, our transportation staff has been significantly impacted due to four confirmed cases of COVID-19. Due to the overall shortage of drivers we have been experiencing (even before COVID), we are currently unable to transport all students to and from school. We have used every available person, including bus mechanics and dispatchers, to fill routes, but have reached the point where we will not be able to complete all runs.

Therefore, we will be temporarily moving to 100% remote instruction for all students starting tomorrow, Thursday, Dec. 17 through Tuesday, Dec. 22. Please watch for emails from your building principals and classroom teachers regarding specific instructional plans. This change is temporary, and we plan to return to our hybrid schedule as of Jan. 4.

While we recognize that some families are able to transport their children to school, as a public school district we are required to provide transportation for all students and cannot maintain in-person school for some families and not others.

We realize that this sudden change in schedule will create difficulties for some families, but unfortunately it cannot be avoided. We appreciate your efforts to ensure that your children continue to attend school remotely through Tuesday, Dec. 22.  Please reach out to your principal if you have any questions or concerns.

For those families who need school meals, breakfast and lunch will still be available for pick up at each school from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm on Dec. 17, 18, 21 and 22.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to face this challenging time together.

 

Thomas K. Putnam, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
