Weekly Updates and Reminders - 11/23/2025

Please scroll down to read all of the announcements!

1. PCA will be closed this Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (Nov 26, 27, 28) for Thanksgiving break.

2. Friday, December 5, will be an early release day due to our homecoming parade! Students will be released at 11:30 and the parade starts promptly at 2pm. 

3. We're excited to announce that 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.

4. PCA will use 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. 

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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. 

9. 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.

Are you READY to PLAY?

Dear PCA Families,

We’re so glad to see so many students excited about sports at Pinnacle Classical Academy! Many of you have asked what’s needed before tryouts. Here’s a quick guide to help:

Step 1: Create a DragonFlyMax Account

Go to www.dragonflymax.com and create an account for your child. Link it to Pinnacle Classical Academy and complete all the “Yearly Requirements” forms for the 2025–2026 school year.
Green = Complete and submitted
Red = Needs attention
Yellow/Pending = Waiting for PCA Athletics to verify
Once everything is green or pending, your child’s account is ready.

Step 2: Upload a Current Sports Physical

A physical signed by a medical provider must be uploaded to DragonFlyMax. Make sure it includes the statement: “Medically eligible for sports with or without restrictions.”
Also complete and upload the concussion form (found in DragonFlyMax). These forms help us keep athletes safe.

Step 3: Complete the Athletic Interest Form

Fill out this form for each season your child wants to participate.  This lets us know which accounts to verify before tryouts.  Without it, your child’s eligibility might not be cleared in time.

Spring Interest Form: https://forms.gle/F9vSo4WF42eaHZv37

Checking Eligibility:

In your child’s DragonFlyMax account:
“2025–2026 School Year – Good to Go!” → Ready for tryouts.
If items are missing, review and complete them.
Pending = We’re reviewing your documents (no action needed).
With nearly 300 athletes per season, the review process takes a little time—thank you for your patience!

Before Tryouts:

About one week before tryouts, we’ll email families who are “Good to Go” and those who still need to finish something. Please check your DragonFlyMax account early and schedule physicals in advance to avoid delays.

If you have any questions, please reach out. Go Eagles!
