Front Office Reminders

To report an absence: Please submit any absences on the day of the absence or up to 30 days in the future using the Report Absence button in ParentVUE. If the absence has already passed, please email our attendance mailbox at [email protected]. Please include your student's full name, the date(s) of the absence, and the reason for the absence. We cannot accept attendance over the phone.

For late arrivals: You do not need to come into the building when dropping off your student. We will have them sign in and then we will update their attendance and send them to class with a pass.

For early dismissal: You must come into the building to pick up your student. Please have a picture ID available and check your student out using our iPads. We CANNOT check students out between 2:30 PM and our regular dismissal time at 3:00 PM. Please plan to be here no later than 2:30 PM.

To drop off items/lunches at school: Please let your student know that the item has been dropped off by sending them an email. They do not have phone access during the day, but they can check email. The front office cannot always notify students that they have items or lunches in the front office in a timely manner.

Optional Device Insurance

PWCS will contract with a third-party vendor to offer low-cost student device insurance again this year. If purchased,
the insurance covers unlimited repairs or replacements for everything from broken screens, lost chargers, and accidental damage, with a zero deductible for one year on a school-issued HP device. The insurance cost is $29.95 for the full year, which may be significantly less than repair or replacement costs without insurance. For more information, please click here.

After-School Tutoring

Our after-school tutoring program will be back this year and better than ever! After-school tutoring runs every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:00-4:45pm (beginning this Tuesday, August 27th). Activity busses are available for those in need of transportation. Students must sign up in advance through the Student Commons
Canvas page.

This Week in Advisory

Monday is our third house competition! Which House team will design the best catapult? You must be present in advisory to win and earn house points!
Wednesday's advisory lesson will be about the equalities of a good leader and we will hold Student Government elections.
Friday is Drop Everything And Read - please remind your student to bring a book with them.
