PARENT NEWSLETTER
WELCOME BACK!
We are hopeful that the information below will help you prepare for the upcoming year and highlight some information that will help you and your family navigate smoothly through our Open House experience.
Open House Parent Checklist
Student Schedules
Student homeroom assignments will be posted on the walls throughout the main hallway. You can find your student's homeroom teacher beside their name. Once you know your student's homeroom teacher, you will visit them to obtain a copy of your student's schedule. From there, you can begin your journey.
Schedule conflicts and requests can be made in the Media Center where our Assistant Principal, Mrs. Raley, and our Counselors, Mr. Aarons and Mrs. Howey will be happy to help you.
Bus Transportation Information
Computer Lab 502 will be the room to visit to have your bus transportation questions answered. Check out the link and information below for additional news from the PCSD Transportation Department.
Please open the flyer below to learn more about a new transportation feature made available for parents of PCSD students. You can also visit the PCSD Transportation Department web page to get a head start.
Parent Portal
There's an app for that!
Visit the link below to learn how you can keep a close eye on your student's grades and attendance. Parent Portal will open to parents and students on Tuesday, August 13, 2018.
New Car-Rider Route
All bus riders will be dismissed to their bus at 3:35pm. Once all bus riders have exited the building, we will call for car-riders to report to the bus-port. As we begin to send our buses off campus, we will pull cars around to the bus port to begin car rider dismissal. We will utilize staff members and traffic cones to help everyone with this transition.
We are anticipating that our dismissal make take a little bit longer to begin the year, but we are excited about doing our part to make entering and exiting our campus safer. We ask for your patience as we begin this new dismissal process, and we will appreciate any feedback you would like to provide.
Use the information and map below for a detailed view of the updated traffic pattern. Staff members will be on hand to help you.
Red Line - All incoming traffic will follow this line all the way to the back of the school. If you enter campus from the entrance closest to Highway 120, you will eventually merge with traffic that entered campus from the entrance closest to East Paulding Drive.
Blue Line - Once you make the turn in the cul de sac, you will follow the blue line back to the front of the building and then around to the bus port.
Green Area - Students who are car-riders will load in this area. This is the only location where car-riders will be allowed to load. Administrators and teachers will be on duty to help with this process.
Yellow Line - Once your student(s) is loaded, you will follow the bus loop and exit the campus through the southern most intersection. All exiting traffic will utilize this intersection during afternoon dismissal.
