Dear Pittsfield High School Parents
The online registration link is open for you to register your student(s) for the 2020-2021 school. The online registration process takes the place of most of the beginning of the year paperwork. Please take the time to log onto www.teacherease and complete the online registration. Fees at the high school will not be generated until August 7, 2020, so they will not be available for you to pay at the high school level until August 10, 2020. Please email me at agreger@pikeland.org with any questions.
Mrs. Greger
At this time the start dates for Pikeland Unit 10 Fall Athletics are as follows:
PCS Softball - July 27
PCS Baseball - August 3
PHS Fall Sports - August 10
Student-Athletes must have a current physical on file before they can practice. Physicals are good for 13 months.
Dear Class of 2024 Parents:
Please complete the survey link attached to this text. If you have difficulty please email me at agreger@pikeland.org.
https://forms.gle/FMU91kDZXngixRHe7
Dear PHS Class of 2024,
I have not forgotten about you and the need to begin orienting you to Pittsfield High School. I have been so excited to see how many of you jumped into sports conditioning and look forward to watching you compete and participate as a Pittsfield High School Saukee over the next four years.
We are working on posting some resources for you to review. Also, I have held off moving forward with registration as I was hoping to be able to meet many of you in person to answer your questions before you complete registration. Fortunately, Illinois entered into Phase 4 last week so that I can now schedule groups of 50 together. Sometime after July 4, you will be given an opportunity to sign up with your parents to attend one of several orientation sessions that I will hold.
I hope you are enjoying time with your family this summer. I wish you a wonderful Independence Day holiday week. I am looking forward to seeing you soon!
With Saukee Pride,
Mrs. Greger
Return to Play Conditioning has started for PHS athletes and they will be using the PHS track M-W-F from 7:45-9:30 A.M. and M-TU-TH-F from 5:00-8:00 P.M. until further notice. The track will be closed to the community during those times to allow our athletes to use the facilities. We will keep you informed of any changes to those times. The PCS walking path will still be open for walkers during those hours.
The Pittsfield High School track and the walking path between PHS and PCS are now open for individual and family walking/running. We ask that you follow social distancing guidelines when using those areas. We look forward to seeing you soon!

There are signs of spring at Pittsfield High School. Enjoy your Sunday with your family. ❤️
Pikeland Families,
Earlier today, Governor Pritzker issued an executive order requiring residents to “stay at home” effective Saturday, March 21 at 5:00 pm, through the end of April 7. As part of the Governor’s order, he announced that school will remain closed, with a new tentative reopening date of April 8. We recognize that this development may raise questions about the impact on students, staff, and families. We anticipate further guidance and details from the Illinois State Board of Education next week, and will update you when we know more.
During this time, we will continue to make food through our Snack Pack program available to students and are working to increase what we can safely offer in the next two weeks. Our district covers 326 square miles and delivering hot and cold foods to all of our communities is a challenge. We are continuing to work with our stakeholders to find additional ways to safely serve our students. We will have an announcement early next week about our Wednesday Snack Pack deliveries.
In addition, the governor has made it clear that, while he’s serious about using social distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19, he wants residents to still be able to work, shop at grocery stores, put gas in their cars, take walks outside and get medication from the pharmacy.
Please use this opportunity to focus on staying safe and helping to slow the spread of the virus. As always, thank you for your patience and support as we all work through the COVID-19 Pandemic. As you have seen, this situation is evolving rapidly and we will continue to communicate information as we receive it. Central office will continue to be staffed Monday through Friday from 8:00-1:00. Please call if you have questions or need to find resources. We will do our best to help you.
With Saukee Pride,
Paula Hawley
Superintendent
Okay, my peeps! I know your favorite activity on a rainy day is sleeping, but when you are awake set aside an hour and read from your favorite book. Don't forget to take a picture and send to Mrs. Shade for the Cornavirus virtual spirit week spread! lshade@pikeland.org
Coming soon (4:30-6:00!) to a community near you!
Attention juniors and seniors the April 4th National ACT test date has been cancelled. ACT will move you to June or July dates that align with your selected testing area.
The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) has posted updates related to COVID-19 & IHSA rules for school administrators & coaches, as well as students & parents.
Please take a moment to review.

PHS Students - Happy St. Patrick's Day - I hope you are participating in our Virtual Spirit Week! Mrs. Greger
I am excited that tomorrow will kick off the first-ever Virtual PHS Art Show!! Each school day Mrs. Davidsmeyer will load a picture of artwork completed as part of her student engagement assignments! Check-in each school day to see who our featured artist will be.
Let me start by saying that there is no playbook for doing what we are doing. The game and the rules change daily. Times like these require us to think on our feet and certainly outside of the box!
Over the past few days we have had tremendous support from our staff, families, and communities to help get student learning in place while still being aware of the implications and restrictions imposed on us by the COVID-19 Coronavirus.
On Wednesday of this week and next, the Pikeland Snack Pack program in conjunction with the Pikeland School District will be at 11 locations in the district handing out grab and go snack pack/meal bags of non-perishable items from 4:30-6:00. This will be a quick pickup process with bags delivered to each vehicle as you arrive.Please stay in your cars when picking up bags, and we will ask for student names as you receive your bag. There will be one bag per family but we will be flexible with families with a large number of kids.
Pick up points on Wednesday from 4:30-6:00 will be:
Baylis--Post Office
Detroit/Florence--Detroit Christian Church
Milton--Christian Church
Nebo--Old School
New Hartford/Summer Hill-- Ackles
New Salem--Post Office
Pearl--Jiffi Stop
Rockport--Community Center
Time-Park Square
PIttsfield--Nazarene Church Community Center
Pittsfield--Crossroads Center
We will post any changes to the program here as we move through the next week. If you have specific needs, please contact us and we will help you in whatever way we can. We can be reached at 217-285-2147 M-F from 8:00-1:00.

Why not have a VIRTUAL SPIRIT WEEK? Send photos to lshade@pikeland.org and/or tag Saukee Yearbook in a post with your picture for your photo to be used in the 2020 yearbook. #Coronacation #PHSVirtualSpiritWeek
Pittsfield High School - Please join us in a virtual spirit week. I will note on the website how Mrs. Shade would like for you to send her your spirit week pictures. The school is very quiet without all of you! I miss you! Mrs. Greger
Saukee Yearbook desperately needs photos of you and how you are spending your time during the school closure. Are you working on the packets your teachers sent home, getting extra sleep, doing chores, playing video games, getting extra hours at work, babysitting your younger siblings, doing workouts/training at home to stay fit for Spring sports, or something else? We are planning on doing an entire Spring spread on this to make up for lost coverage, so we’ll need a lot of pictures. Please send photos to lshade@pikeland.org or get them to Paige Thometz. They can be cell phone photos, but please make sure they have good lighting and color. If you have a DSLR, we would prefer those, but let’s face it, most cell phones today take amazing photos. PLEASE DO NOT ADD FILTERS! You will get photo credit. Please include who took the photo and explain what is happening in it when you send the picture. Thank you!
IHSA Spring Sports Info
If you temporarily suspend your spring season, your athletes should not practice or compete with their non-school (club/travel) teams or they will be ineligible for the high school team if and when the suspension is lifted.
Students- PHS will be open from 1-4 today for you to pick up your learning packet, instrument, check out a library book, and get anything out of your locker that you need. I encourage you to take home your dirty clothes from your PE locker today too. After 4 pm today no one will be allowed on school property until March 31, 2020 when you will return to school.
Seniors - Please stop by the GO when you are in the building today to pick up any scholarships that you need to complete. Contact any teacher you wish to write a recommendation for you by email. Mrs. Westbrook and I are communicating with all scholarship donors to adjust due days. I will send messages to you on what those dates are once they are determined.
Based on recommendations from the Regional Office of Education and the Pike County Health Department, Pikeland Schools will now be closed on Monday, March 16-Monday, March 30. School WILL NOT be open on Monday as previously announced.
Teachers in grades K-12 have prepared learning packets for students and these can be picked up tomorrow, Sunday, from 1:00-4:00 at each school. Parents can drive through and pick up packets. PCS pickup will be in the front of the school on both sides.
PIttsfield High School Students will be able to come into the building and pick up books and packets from 1:00-4:00 tomorrow. You will be able to pick up packets for other students tomorrow. You will just need to tell us what grade level packet you need when you get to the school. After we get through Sunday, we will put a plan in place to distribute any remaining packets.
If you need to pickup medication for your child, please request it when you pick up the packet.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this unprecedented situation. We will continue to update you as more information becomes available.
It is has just been announced by Governor Pritzker that all schools in Illinois, public and private, will be closed starting Tuesday, March 17 through March 30. Pikeland Schools WILL be open on Monday, March 16 and we will send learning materials home with your students that day. All school activities, practice, and games will be cancelled starting March 17 as well. We will share more information as we receive it.

The Pittsfield High School community mournfully acknowledges the passing of one of our students. PHS senior Cody Walston unexpectedly passed away today. It is a terribly sad day for Pittsfield High School and our school family is devastated at the loss of such a fine young man. The thoughts and prayers of the entire Pittsfield High School community go out the Walston family. Cody was an exceptional young man with a tremendous smile and wonderful personality. Cody was a friend to all and a true Saukee through and through. There was no one who worked harder in the classroom or the football field. Cody will be greatly missed by the entire Pittsfield High School family, especially his friends and teammates. As our school community mourns the passing of this amazing young man, we ask the community to please keep the Walston family and our students and staff in their thoughts and prayers in the coming days.
