Principal's Corner

This week we officially began our new PEEPs House System Program based on the Ron Clark Academy House structure.  Our opening assembly for the year took place on Tuesday and was an opportunity for students to celebrate school pride, meet other members in their house and review our schoolwide behavior expectations.  Our expectations for students remain the same as we aim for our PEEPs to be respectful, responsible, ready to learn and safe everyday.  Instead of PEEPs tickets, this year students will receive House points through a digital platform.  Individual leading point earners and collectively top earning houses will be recognized and celebrated monthly.  The PEEPs House System is intended to coincide with the learning that takes place during our PEEPs special and provide a common language throughout our school.  

 

A special thank you goes out to our Perry High School Cheerleaders for their guest appearance during our opening assembly as they lead our school in a chant.  We are grateful for this school community connection!

 

If you are looking for some family fun this weekend, the Perry Fall Festival will take place tomorrow, Saturday, September 12, 2026.  If you attend, Perry Elementary School will be represented at the Dunk Tank as we raise money for charities.  I will be in the Dunk Tank at 12pm and Ms. Rackovan will be the participant at 3pm.  We hope to see you there!

 

With Perry Pride,

Important Clinic Information

There have been reported cases of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) within the district. HFMD symptoms may include fever, sore throat, painful mouth sores that blister and rash commonly found on the hands and feet. HFMD is very contagious and can spread through contact with droplet particles after a person sneezes, coughs or talks, fluid from blisters, stool or from objects and surfaces with virus particles.

 

To help prevent catching or spreading HFMD, be sure to frequently wash your hands, avoid touching your face, clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and avoid close contact with others infected. Contact your student’s health care provider if you suspect your student has HFMD. For more information https://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html
