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. Please refer to the school website for the full technology policy.
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.
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.

7th Grade Math–Mrs. Childers
2025-2026
Pinnacle Classical Academy
MATH Course Objective: MATH , we will follow the Core Knowledge Outline while integrating the NC Standard Course of Study. Students will be exposed to a variety of teaching methods to allow them to grasp all aspects of the subject. Writing will be an integral part of this course.
Class Rules/Regulations:
All students should maintain a certain level of respect and courtesy towards everyone at all times.
Every child will be accountable for the following:
Be Prompt 2. Be Prepared 3. Be Positive 4. Be Productive 5. Be Polite
Cheating and Plagiarism: Cheating is to act dishonestly by claiming the work of someone else as your own, or by enabling/permitting another student to claim your work as their own, or by obtaining for yourself or providing for another student an unfair advantage on a test, quiz, or any other academic work. A testing or quiz session is not over until the teacher states the session is complete. Cheating may include, but not be limited to, the following acts:
Wandering eyes, talking, hand gestures, etc., and/or communication of any kind during a test or quiz are considered cheating.
Allowing someone to copy your work.
Claiming someone else’s work as your own.
Having or providing knowledge of questions or answers before a test or quiz.
Giving or receiving assistance during a test.
When using artificial intelligence (AI) software in any manner not explicitly permitted or authorized by a classroom teacher. This includes, but is not limited to:
Completing an academic assignment with the assistance of AI software when not allowed.
Misrepresenting a portion of the academic assignment as your own without proper attribution or acknowledgment of the use of AI software.
Summarizing or paraphrasing reference material without citing the original source.
Using AI software in any manner not explicitly permitted or authorized by the classroom teacher, including but not limited to submitting academic work created or written in part or whole by AI software and claiming it as your own. 1
Consequences: We will follow the student code of conduct found on our school website in the parent/student handbook. Please carefully review these procedures and guidelines for discipline. Cheating is not tolerated at Pinnacle Classical Academy. Wandering eyes, talking, hand gestures, etc., and/or any communication of any kind during a test or quiz are considered cheating. The result is a zero, and students aren’t allowed to make up this assignment. Work avoidance, or failing to complete the work during class, will result in students being required to complete the work either during lunch or at home.
Grading Policy:
Tests/Projects will count 50%, Quizzes 20%, and Assignments (homework and classwork) will be 30%.
The End-of-Grade level test will count for 20% of a student’s final average.
Infinite Campus: Grades are entered in Infinite Campus weekly. If you do not have access or need your password reset, please contact Mrs. Deaton, our Infinite Campus administrator. adeaton@pinnacleclassicalacademy.com
Make-up Work: Students are responsible for their make-up work. Each student can find missed assignments on Google Classroom and Infinite Campus. It is their responsibility to locate their work upon returning to school. Students are allowed one day to make up their work for each day they are absent.
LATE Work: A 10-point deduction is applied each day an assignment is late. Grades are entered as a zero until the late work is received. After five days, the zero remains.
Newsletters: Weekly reminders, updates, and other information will be sent electronically to parents. Please contact your student’s homeroom teacher if you prefer a paper copy or are not receiving these.
