Back to School Night is scheduled on Wednesday, September 27th from 6-8pm. Parents/Guardians, please bring your childβs schedule with you. We will be following A day schedules for the evening.
Families will enter through the main entrance and make your way to the mod 1 classes of your scholar. If you are unable to access or print the schedule, the counseling team will be in the main lobby to assist you.
*Reminder: Teachers are happy to meet with parents/guardians, but Back to School Night is not for conferencing. Please reach out to your scholarβs counselor to arrange for Parent Teacher Conferences.
PBIS
Each month, we will celebrate students who have not been suspended during the month, to include In and Out of School Suspension and who received less than 5 minor referrals in our PBIS Rewards system.
Please review behavior expectations with your scholar at home. Attached is the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. Section 7 outlines the PGCPS Code of Student Conduct, which was also reviewed with students at each grade-level townhall.
