PCMS Extended 1 Hour Due to Solar Eclipse

Monday, August 21, 2017

DeKalb County School District (DCSD) will extend its school day by one hour on Monday, Aug. 21, 2017, to provide safe viewing and instructional opportunities related to the expected solar eclipse that day.

Peachtree has planned activities for the Solar Eclipse. We will start our day as normal and students will follow their regular schedule until 2:00 pm. All students will report to their homeroom class at 2:00 pm.

Students who have returned the Opt/In letter will participate in the Solar Eclipse activities outside between 2:20 pm and 2:55 pm. Students who did not return the Opt/In letter will only participate in the Solar Eclipse activities in the Media Center or Classroom during the same time.

The Opt/In letters will be sent home today, August 16, and should be returned by Friday. Students will be released from homeroom and attend their 6th (3:00 pm - 3:55 pm) and 7th (4:00 pm - 4:50 pm) period classes. We will start dismissal at 4:50 pm. Due to the possibility of dangerous driving conditions, I am asking that parents, please, do not check out their children between 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm.

Welcome Back!

On behalf of the PCMS staff, I would like to welcome our incoming sixth graders and welcome back all returning students. We hope that everyone had a restful and enjoyable summer break. We are eager to welcome all students on Monday, August 7, 2017. We are looking forward to an exciting and productive 2017-2018 school year.

As we get ready for the start of the school year, I would like to provide parents with clarity regarding the upcoming meetings. PCMS will host an Open House on August 2, 2017 from 4:30 to 6:30. The purpose of the Open House is for parents and students to walk their schedules and become familiar with the building. There will not be a general meeting before the event. Teachers will be working in their classrooms to have them ready for a productive school year.

A Curriculum Night is scheduled for September 7, 2017 from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm and will take place in the Cafeteria. This event is the general Foundation meeting and an opportunity for parents to hear about the new DCSD approved curriculum and testing changes. Teachers will not be present at this event. 

The final event is the Parent/Team meetings on September 14, 2017 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. This is an opportunity for you to walk your child’s schedule and meet with the team of teachers that will work with your child. Teachers will use this opportunity to explain academic expectations specific to their courses.

The academic focus of the year will be writing across the curriculum and strengthening the STEM activities for all grade levels. We will be working toward whole school STEM certification by 2019. Again, Welcome back and we will see you August 7th.
