You can call the school or email Mrs. Warren at warrena@person.k12.nc.us. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NBt7rG-cixtjc100SrOqXQuLY4MS-a2GcdfnX7S53NI/edit?usp=sharing

At the PCS Board of Education Meeting this evening, the Board approved a tentative start date of Tuesday, August 27th for the 2024-2025 school year. This date is for PCS traditional schools and does not include PECIL (start date 08/13) or students who are enrolled in PCC Courses (start date 08/15). Additionally, Directors at Earl Bradsher Preschool and Early Intervention & Family Services will let families know of their start dates.

Reminder- if you have not completed registration or enrollment with Person County Schools by the end of Friday July 26th, you will not have transportation at the beginning of the year. If you are unsure if you are on the bus list please email Ms. Solomon at solomonc@person.k12.nc.us. If you are not on the list, you will have to first complete registration (she can assist with this as well.) When you email Ms. Solomon, please include a current phone number in case she needs to call you for assistance.

Important Info for Incoming Kindergarten Families: -Kindergarten students will participate in staggered entry. As discussed at Open House, this means your child will attend ONE day the first week of school. You will receive a letter (to be mailed out by July 29th) letting you know which day your child is assigned to attend (Tuesday 8/13 or Wednesday 8/14 or Thursday 8/15). Students will work with all three kindergarten teachers on their staggered days. Teachers will create class rosters on Thursday afternoon. -You are invited to attend a special Kindergarten Open House on Friday, 8/16. Two times are available- 10am and 5pm. This Open House is when you will receive your child's teacher assignment and get to meet your child's teacher. Kindergarten parents are not required to attend the 1st-5th grade Open House on Tuesday 8/6. You are welcome to attend to complete registration, learn about PTSO, and Daycare, but you are not required to do so. This same information will be available on Friday 8/16 and you will get to meet your child's teacher. **Students assigned to our Separate Setting Exceptional Children Classrooms do not participate in staggered entry. Your child will attend each day the first full week of school and your child's teacher will provide additional information.

The deadline has been extended until June 20th. If you have not done so already, please complete returning student registration. You can email Cindy Solomon with any questions you have solomonc@person.k12.nc.us. REMINDER: Our registration portal will close soon. We are transitioning to a new student information system. Completing registration will assist in this transition. For more, check your email or visit this link: https://www.pcsnc.org/page/returning-student-registration
