Update from Dr. B
Changes/revisions have been made at the state and county level regarding attendance regulations/requirements and student food charge regulation. I have shared more detailed information below, so please take a moment to review. If you have any questions it is important that you contact the school.
We are looking for parent volunteers, parents to join our PTO, as well as our School Advisory Committee. If you are interested in any, or all, please contact Mrs. Amber Montgomery by email at montgoan@pwcs.edu.
I look forward to meeting each and every one of you over the coming months.
"One School, One Purpose: Together We Can!"
Yours truly,

What's New!
Student Food Charge Regulation Changes: For the 2017-2018 school year students will no longer be able to charge more than $75. Once a student reaches $75 or before, the school will make contact with the parent to inform them, and remind the parent that once their child reaches $75 they will be provided an alternative meal (juice & cereal bar) to no cost to the student, until the balance is paid. Many reminders will be sent to the parent via autodialer, email and mail, however, to prevent any student from not being able to receive their lunch of choice, all food balances must be paid on a regular basis.
Important Message for PWCS Parents/Guardians about Attendance: New school reporting and follow-up practices required by the Code of Virginia make is more important than ever for parents to communicate with schools when students have excused absences. Changes to the law now require specific school measure when absences are unexcused. Please contact the school if you have any questions regarding the revisions to this policy.
PBIS Update!
Our students are able to earn ROAR cards when a teacher or staff member witness them doing something positive towards others. We have our ROAR store where our students can use their ROAR cards to purchase school pride items as well as pencils, pens, and other small items.
