Let's get ready for the 2024-2025 school year! Help your Communities In Schools fill the buses with supplies for students.
Sports physical forms were sent home today for students who wanted one and extras are available in the office for the upcoming year. Forms must be dated on or after May 1st to play sports per WVSSAC guidelines. Community Care can complete these once filled out and signed by a parent or guardian at school, or they can be taken to your child’s doctor to be completed by them.
Super Scholar is tomorrow night at PCHS at 6:00. We hope to see all of our eligible students and families there.
Also we have lots of lost and found clothing that needs claimed at our building. Please find time to encourage your students to get their belongings before it is donated. Thanks!

Today, Math teachers will pass out an informational letter about a research study that is taking place with our math classes. Our classes have been asked to participate in a study lead by WestEd and the American Institutes of Research who are interested in learning more about what middle school students think about math. We are providing this letter to parents and guardians to explain this study and provide them with an opportunity to opt their child out of taking the survey. If you are choosing to opt out of this survey please return the letter before April 29, 2024. Thank you.
