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.

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. 

 







8., 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.

9. 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.


10. Mrs. Harrell maintains a Student Care Closet in her room, which she keeps stocked. 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.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we approach the end of the school year, I wanted to send a quick reminder of our classroom expectations so we can finish strong together.

Please encourage your child to come to class each day ready to be prompt, prepared, productive, positive, and polite.

Students should arrive in their approved school uniform each day, including appropriate socks and shoes. To help minimize distractions, toys such as gadgets, Nee-Doh, slime, squishies, plush items, or similar items should stay at home.

Water bottles should contain water only. Students may enjoy soda or other drinks during lunch, but at all other times, we ask that they stick to water.

Our Chromebooks are for educational use only. Students should not use them to take pictures or videos, play games, email friends, or use them during lunch.

We also continue to emphasize the importance of respectful communication with classmates, teachers, and staff. Students are expected to remain seated, stay focused on their work, and avoid getting involved in others’ conversations or conflicts.

Thank you for your continued support, it truly makes a difference as we work together to maintain a positive and productive learning environment.

Sincerely,
MS Teachers



Thank you for your continued support at home.
