Dear Parents or Guardians of sixth graders,


Please be aware that there are additional immunization requirements for entry into the seventh grade.


Immunization Requirements for Grades 7-12



According to our current school health records your child has not received these vaccinations. 


Due to Pennsylvania Department of Health and Allegheny County Health Department Regulations, parents must provide proof that their child has received these vaccinations, proof that they are planning to have the vaccinations administered from a private medical care provider, or a signed exemption form PRIOR to the start of the school year. Students who do not have documentation of these vaccines  WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO START SCHOOL IN THE FALL.


Please bring, send or fax a copy of the immunization records to the school as soon as possible.  Our goal is to get all students up to date so that entry into the 2023-2024 school year is not delayed. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. 


If you have any questions regarding the immunization records, please call the nurse’s office.

Thank you.

EQUITY CORNER

EQUITY STATEMENT

Penn Hills Charter School of Entrepreneurship (PHCSE) recognizes that we are part of an academic and cultural community committed to fostering integrity, respect, and justice. Aiming to learn from each other, we reject all forms of hate and discrimination. To ensure this, our school will continue to adopt and use inclusive practices and programs that create an opportunity for all.  In the classroom, we promote active learning about diversity that allows both students and faculty to effectively acquire cultural competence. Both in and beyond the classroom, we envision an inclusive community. 

PHCSE does not discriminate within its educational programs, activities, or against stakeholders. Students are educated in programs that foster knowledge, respect, and appreciation for the historical and contemporary contributions of diverse cultural groups to society which includes those of all sexual orientations, race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, disability, religion, creed, and socioeconomic status.

The Equity Committee is dedicated to enhancing the equity education at PHCSE. We strive to educate our students and staff about different cultures and how PHCSE fits into our world and society. We strive to instill respect for others who are different from us.


In April, our scholars will be learning about Earth Day. Scholars will dive into learning about what Earth Day is. They will learn how to make the world, and their community,  a cleaner place.  Scholars will then have an opportunity to make a class book entitled “What a Wonderful World” about how they can have an impact on the environment. This book will use the song by  Louis Armstrong, and our students will create illustrations for it.
