School info
School doors open to students at 9:00 AM. Please do not drop off students before this time. Before doors open, students are at the sole responsibility of parents/guardians and should be under parent/guardian supervision. School hours are 9:30-4:10 PM. Breakfast is offered to students beginning at 9:00 AM.
Attire
Our students are not required to wear a school uniform. However, they are expected to comply with our dress code. The dress code was reviewed with students during the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook Town Halls last week. Our dress code policy is also on our school's website.
Meals
Breakfast and lunch are offered to all of our students. Students will need their lunch personal identification number (PIN) at the time of checkout. Funds can be deposited in students' MySchoolBucks accounts.
Dismissal
Regular dismissal begins at 4:10 PM. We dismiss our walkers and car riders first, then our buses. Early dismissal ends promptly at 3:30 PM to allow us time to organize and prepare for regular dismissal. We ask that you please adhere to this request.
transportation
PGCPS has implemented several solutions to address on-time arrivals and improve communication. These include centralized bus stops, GPS-enabled tablets on buses, and better tracking software.
Transportation questions may be submitted through the Transportation Resolution System.
