Welcome Back Yeomen!

Principal Welcome
Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! We are looking forward to the opening of the school year, and many people have worked very hard in order to ensure your child receives the best education possible.
Important Items for The First Day:
- The first day for students will be Monday August 22, 2022. Our school day begins at 8:05 a.m. and dismissal for school is at 2:55 p.m.
- Breakfast (free, reduced or full price) will be served beginning the first day. Lunch will be served on this day in the cafeteria or your child may bring his/her lunch to school.
- You may drop your child off in the morning after 7:15 a.m. We encourage you to drop them off by 7:55 a.m. daily. If you are picking up your child after school, you must park in our Annex Parking lot. The main loop in the front of our building is for buses only. Once the buses are released, you may pick up your child in the loop. Buses will be released daily by 3:10 p.m. Please do not enter the front loop between 2:20-3:10.
Additional information will be included in this newsletter (formally packet pick up). This includes information concerning updating your student(s) Emergency Contact in Home Access Center, our school calendar, PCSD Opening Kick Off Information, Encore Calendar, attendance information, fall school pictures, Nutrition Services information and applications and our school supply list!
Parma City Schools has developed a new fee collection procedure. You will be billed directly by the Board of Education. You will have three options of payment: check, money order or credit. For security reasons we are asking that you do not send cash to school.
On the first day of school, 7th Graders are to report to the Cafeteria, 6th Graders to the side of the B Gym and 5th Graders to the side of the A Gym.
I look forward to working and meeting with you and your child during the coming school year. Please feel free to call if you have any questions or concerns. We are looking forward to an exciting school year!!
Emergency Contact Update:
At the beginning of August you received information from Central Office to login to your Home Access Center to update your student(s) emergency contact information. We want to remind you that if you do not complete the update this year, there is a district wide disciplinary process:
- Students are not permitted to attend sports practices or any extracurriculars until the form is updated.
- Students will not get locker assignments until form is updated/completed.
- If the form is not filled out by September 15th, 2022, the student will be locked out of using their device (Chromebook) until a parent/guardian completes the Emergency Contact Update Form.
- If the parent/guardian still does not update the form, the student could face detention and/or suspension.
Please complete the form for your student's safety!
