Please scroll down to read all of the announcements!
i-Ready Testing: Wednesday, August 26 and Thursday, August 27 - Middle School will administer the i-Ready reading and math diagnostic tests. This diagnostic is an adaptive assessment to find a student's level of understanding. We will follow an alternate schedule for these two days.
Medications- Click here for the form parents need to take to their child’s doctor.
Medication
If possible, parents/guardians should administer medications before or after school. If a student needs to take medication during the school day, parents must submit a signed Medication Form from the child’s physician. Parents/guardians must send medications to school in a sealed, original container labeled with the following information.
The student’s name and grade
The name of the medication
The amount of the medication to be taken
The time the child is to take the medication
Authorized school staff must administer ALL medication. Students are responsible for going to the office at the appropriate time to receive medication. Parents are responsible for the following: providing a signed medication form, bringing medications to the school, and picking up any leftover medications at the end of the school year. If your child attends an overnight field trip, bring the medicine to the school one week before the trip, and have a medication form signed for the trip.
Computer Fee: A $25.00 fee is collected from each middle school student for the use of their Chromebook. Send the money to the student’s homeroom teacher. Students will have access to Chromebooks on Monday, August 24th.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
