🚸 Safety First for Our Learners 🚸

At PCSD 25 and Syringa Elementary School, the safety of our students, staff, and families is always our top priority. That’s why we are grateful for a generous donation from our trusted educational partner, Idaho Central Credit Union (ICCU).

This donation of light beacons for every learner at Syringa directly supports enhanced traffic and pedestrian safety measures around our schools, helping ensure that every student has a safer journey to and from class each day. Because when learners feel safe, they are free to focus on what matters most—learning and growing.

💚 Thank you, ICCU, for investing in our schools and in the well-being of our community. Your continued partnership makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our students and families.

Adventures at the Nordic Center

This month, both Syringa's 4th and 5th grade classes were able to explore some of the beauty of Idaho at the Pocatello Nordic Center! This field trip gives both grades an opportunity to learn something new and work hard, while also having fun with their peers snowshoeing, or cross country skiing. 

Mrs. Jacobs, a Syringa 5th grade teacher, explained this about their trip, "Cross country skiing at the Nordic Center is one of the 5th grade's favorite field trips. We get to ride a bus up to Mink Creek, and spend the day in the snow. Pocatello Parks and Recreation Department sends instructors who teach us how to pick our boots and put on our skis. We spend the morning learning how to glide, stop, and get up when we fall down. It is harder than it sounds! In the afternoon they take us on a trail around the Yurt, then up and down some fun hills. It is a lot of work, but definitely one of the best days of 5th grade."

Great job Vikings!

Thank you, Syringa Elementary learners, for your patience and cooperation

Thank you, Syringa Elementary learners, for your patience and cooperation during Thursday’s extended Hall Check.
Today, members of the Pocatello Police Department and PCSD 25 administration visited Syringa to show their appreciation with a special treat for our hardworking learners.
Yesterday’s Hall Check was initiated by law enforcement as a safety precaution due to a police matter in the neighborhood. As always, the safety of our learners and staff comes first. While school dismissed at the regular time, extra measures were taken for children who walk home, ensuring they were released to parents or emergency contacts with proper identification. Staff escorted bus riders to the buses and transportation continued as scheduled.
During a Hall Check, all exterior doors are secured and staff and learners remain in their classrooms. Learning continues and the school day proceeds as scheduled to minimize disruption. Learn more by watching this brief video.
This response represents PCSD 25's "More Together" commitment in action, where our school community, local law enforcement, district leaders, and parents worked collaboratively to ensure the safety and well-being of every child. We are grateful for the support and teamwork shown by all during this situation.

Fall into Routines that Stick

When learners feel prepared and supported, they show up to school confident and ready. 

Create reliable morning and evening routines. Prep lunchboxes, backpacks, and outfits the night before to avoid morning stres. Staying "On Time, In School, Every Day" helps learners keep up -- and stand out.

With top notch teachers (from national awards to local recognition!) and future-ready programs, PCSD 25 is where success begins.

Because in PCSD 25, you belong here -- and Every Day Matters

Let's Start Strong

September is Attendance Awareness Month. Establish strong routines early: consistent bedtimes, packed bags, and backup plans for getting to school. Learners who are "On Time, In School, Every Day" build momentum that leads to lifelong success. Strong achievement begins with strong attendance. 

Every Day Matters, and your child belongs in a school district that delivers results.
