Good evening. I am sharing these form links again to try and get feedback for student funding. We are still low on responses for these forms at only 96 for one and 260 for the other. Please take a few minutes to fill them out to help the school district secure funding to provide devices for our students. There are only 3 questions in each. Thank you.

Just a reminder to all kindergarten parents. You will need to complete the online registration for your incoming kindergarten student after August 5. The registration you completed at kindergarten round up was only a pre-registration.
July 25th - August 1st
Just a reminder that this coming week, July 25th - August 1st, is the non-contact period the state has set. There will not be any activities at the school. Thanks and enjoy this time with family and friends! Go Panthers!!!!!
Good evening. We are needing another short survey to be answered to try to gain funding to purchase equipment for the students at Pekin. Please take a few minutes to fill it out. The link is below. Also included is the link to the first survey. If you haven't filled it out, please do so as each survey is linked to the purchase of two separate types of equipment. Thank you for your help.

Attention students! Are you an independent, outgoing self-motivated Jr/Sr high school student that wants to be part of a fun Pekin Panther team? Learn how to sign up below!
Pekin wants you to join the 2021-22 Yearbook Club to design and complete entirely student-produced Elementary and Jr/Sr High School publications. Did we mention FUN! In Yearbook Club, we will make time to celebrate our hard work and successes. You will also have an opportunity to create lasting relationships and memories.
As a staff team member, you will take on a variety of exciting roles and responsibilities. These staff opportunities include:
Photography/Reporting: These students will attend school events and classes to interview and take photographs. These students must be available after school to participate in a variety of functions.
Literary: Staff writers drive the direction of our publication. They will determine the subject matter, coming up with compelling angles for the stories they compose. As a proofreader and editor, students will have the final eyes on every page in the book.
Design: Students will work closely with design programs to create original, eye-catching layouts. They will look at typography, color, and graphics to implement the overall theme of our yearbook.
Sales/Marketing: These students will be responsible for generating publicity and sales, including everything from advertising, processing orders, and soliciting patrons. They maintain the public face of our business via our website and social media networks.
