Happy American Education Week! November 18-24, 2024
We are proud to celebrate our incredible educators, dedicated staff, engaged students, and supportive families who work together every day to build a strong, vibrant learning community. Thank you for your commitment to excellence and for making a difference in the lives of our students!
Parenting with Eyes Wide Open: Hidden in Plain Sight | Thursday, November 21 at 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in Northern Middle School's auditorium | Could you spot the warning signs of substance use in your teen's bedroom? The CDC reports that 50% of youth are using substances alone at home, making parental awareness crucial. Person County Schools and Insight Human Services invite you to "Hidden in Plain Sight," an eye-opening interactive experience that could help protect our youth. Step into a recreated teenage bedroom where everyday items may not be what they seem. This powerful demonstration reveals how common objects can be used to hide drugs, vaping devices, and alcohol, while educating parents and community members about current substance abuse trends and warning signs. Don't miss this opportunity to gain vital knowledge about youth substance use, modern drug paraphernalia, and concealment methods.
No school on Monday, November 11th in honor of Veterans Day!

Reminder: No School on Monday, October 28th, for a required teacher workday!
This workday is for all PCS schools except for Person Early College and Earl Bradsher Preschool.

ATTENTION SENIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES:
On TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1st, beginning at 5:30pm, in Room S100 on the PCC Roxboro campus, we will hold our 1st ever information session for these students, and their parents, to address their concerns, their questions, their hopes. It's our plan to have representatives (college advisors, or counselors) from Person High, Roxboro Community School, Person Early College for Innovation and Leadership, PCS Virtual Academy, Roxboro Home Educators, PCC Financial Aid, and others. Also, we will have individuals knowledgeable of the "DREADED" FAFSA process, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, with help on how to get through it smoothly.
This will not be a panel discussion where each panel member gets 10 minutes to make a formal presentation--it will be a simple Question & Answer session (questions from YOU, answers from US) and we want to do all we can to help you understand the process and what you need to do. I'll be honored to moderate the session.
Please join us....Tuesday, October 1, 5:30pm, PCC Roxboro Campus, room S100. We look forward to seeing you.
Please note that this event is being sponsored by the Roxboro Area Chamber of Commerce as part of their Business After Hours program. PCEF is a proud member of the Chamber!!
Due to possible hazardous weather and road conditions that may arise due to the approaching hurricane, tomorrow, Friday, September 27th will be a Remote Learning Day for all students and staff. Students should have brought home materials and/or laptops to be able to work on assignments. Additionally, students who attend PCC will need to follow the schedules for classes as communicated.
Please also note that all school daycares will be closed and all after-school activities have been cancelled.
Stay safe and have a good weekend.
