5. Senior Baskets (Help Requested) 

Dear Parents, 

With graduation drawing close, the middle school staff wants to honor the Senior Class of 2026. Starting with the Class of 2020, baskets were presented to each senior during the week of their graduation activities. Our school wants to continue this tradition. We are asking you to help make these baskets memorable for students. Each senior compiled a list of favorite items such as places to shop and eat, foods, candy, hobbies, etc. Our goal is to fulfill at least 4 baskets with your donations. I have included pictures of the baskets donated by our middle school previously, as well as a sign-up genius link. The link provides items for the Class of 2026. 

Sign up genius link:

Please return all items as soon as possible. Students may bring these to the homeroom teacher, labeled with the senior's name and "Class of 2026".  We would appreciate your help in showing our support for PCA's graduates.  

6. 2026-2027 School Calendar Updated - Please note the 1st day of school.

7. Dress Code Reminders -- Please ensure students adhere to the school dress code. Please note that students are not permitted to wear hoodies or hooded jackets inside the building at any time.  Please ensure that all student clothing, including jackets, coats, shoes, and socks, adheres to the dress code. Refer to the school's website for guidelines. (See a copy of the Student Uniform Quick Look flyer to the right.)

8. We have partnered with Jammin J's Pizza Factory to reward our monthly Character Trait Award winners with a pizza credit (this also applies to August and September winners; they will receive a credit as well)! To ensure your child receives this free credit if they are selected as a winner, parents must create an account on the Jammin J's Pizza Factory website. Please find the PDF of instructions attached below to complete this step.

9. PCA uses Infinite Campus as its SIS grading platform again this school year. If you do not have access, please email adeaton@pinnacleclassicalacademy.com. Mrs. Deaton is our administrator for this system and will assist you if you need help or to create a parent account. 

10. PE will be outside often. Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle and an extra pair of shoes. It is recommended to bring a small, separate bag for dirty shoes.

11. Every Friday will be School Spirit Day. Students may wear PCA spirit wear tops (with the athletic eagle logo) with uniform bottoms on Fridays. Please note: Norris Merchandise is selling some PCA items with hoods - these items are NOT approved spirit wear. Per the dress code, students may not wear hoodies or hooded jackets inside the building at any time.

12. Cell phones and all other personal electronic devices (including but not limited to smartwatches, MP3 players, personal computers/laptops, video games, tablets, etc.) are NOT allowed at school during the school day. Any personal electronic device found during the day will be confiscated. Refer to the school website for the entire technology policy.

14. Mrs. Harrell maintains a Student Care Closet, which she keeps stocked, in her room. It is for those moments when families are running behind, a student forgets breakfast/lunch at home, or a student needs a hygiene product. If you would like to contribute to the care closet, scan the QR code below. 

Athletic Announcements:

For home athletic events starting at 4:00 PM, students staying after school as spectators must report directly to the gym or field at 3:30 PM after dismissal. Please do not send students early—the doors will remain locked until 3:30 PM to allow for setup.

• Students must enter through the outside gym doors or the field entrance near the baseball field so admission can be collected.

• For games starting at 5:00 PM or later, students must leave campus and return at game time.

• Players may leave class at 3:00 PM and report to their locker rooms or other areas as directed by their coach.

• Siblings of players are not permitted to stay after school unless it's a game day and they are attending as spectators within the allowed time frame.

Thank you for your continued support of our students and the Athletic Department.

Fall Sports 2026 (Required Interest Form)

Fall sports season is just around the corner! Please complete this form for each sport your child is interested in trying out for, and be sure to read every question carefully while providing all requested information.

Please note that tryouts for Fall 2026 sports will take place prior to the conclusion of the current school year. Additional details and exact tryout dates will be shared soon.

Although Cheer is officially a winter sport, it has been included on this form because its tryouts occur earlier than other winter sports. Cheer tryouts will take place on or after August 1.
