NEW BELL SCHEDULE

Last week we shared with students that there will be an upcoming change to the bell schedule beginning Monday, March 4. We are renewing our focus on attendance and encouraging all students to attend class on time, every day!  We updated our Bell Schedule and we will begin strictly enforcing 4 minutes of transition time between classes (this is an increase from the 2 minutes of transition they previously had).  Randomly throughout the day, after 4 minutes of transition time, an announcement will be made asking staff members to shut their doors and students still in the hallway will receive an unexcused tardy and a warning.

We will allow a few days for everyone to adjust to the new schedule. However, after this week students still in the hallways after the 4-minute transition time, and the announcement being made, will receive an unexcused tardy and disciplinary consequences.  Students and families will be able to view the bell schedule in the Student Canvas Course and students will be provided with reminders throughout the day about the importance of arriving to class on time. 

PTO

The next PTO meeting will be held Wednesday, March 6 at 6pm.  Use this link to join the meeting.

We are quickly approaching our Spring Season, tryouts begin on March 18th, 2024. Please make sure that your Athletic Physical and Online Concussion Training are completed before this date! 

PWCS enacted a no-bag policy for all indoor athletic events at the middle school level. This is in alignment with the policy currently in place at all high schools. This includes backpacks, purses, camera equipment bags, etc. Clear diaper bags and medically necessary bags are permitted. These bags may be subject to search. This policy went into effect for indoor athletic events at all middle schools on Monday, January 10, 2022. Our school will have a plan in place to secure any student bookbags as needed during athletic events. We will not be responsible for securing bags from any attendees who are not students at our school. Signage will be posted to remind attendees prior to arriving at the ticket area. We thank you in advance for adhering to this policy and look forward to having you with us to cheer on our student-athletes.

As a reminder, any student planning to attend any sporting event must go home after school and return for the game.  Students are not permitted to remain at the school until the start of the event.  In addition, If you are Academically Ineligible, more than 1 Failing class from the 2nd Quarter, you are unable to attend any athletic event. We will be checking the Ineligibility list before purchasing tickets for our Athletic Events. 

 

Monday will be an “A” day.
