Students should not arrive on campus before 8:45am. Students should enter through the side doors and wait for a staff member. Please bring a charged laptop, charger, water bottle, snack and come well rested. Mid-year assessments help us determine student growth thus far in the school year and how to adjust plans to ensure students remain challenged.

We are proud of our students and look forward to seeing you! You may park on the gym side of PHS and enter through the side door (follow the sidewalk and signs for the main entrance). Someone will greet you to come to the 3rd floor. Please do not arrive before 11:50am since students will be completing their assessments.

You can now download the Instructure’s Canvas Parent app in both the iTunes and Google Play stores. View the Quick Access sheet by clicking on the graphic to the right.

Parents and facilitators will need a “pairing code” from the student’s account to connect with the student. Students must generate a separate pairing code (directions below) for each person who wants to connect to their account. This might include parents, advisors, and mentors.

A lot has changed over the summer in regard to the facilities at Person High School. Much work has been completed, but much is still underway. We thank you for your patience as the construction takes place!

The main entrance of the building is not available for access to the building. Instead, visitors are asked to park in the top part of the gym-side lot, walk down the sidewalk toward the building that is lined with fence and labeled “School Entrance”. At the end of the walkway, there are doors that are serving as the entrance to PHS while the front is not accessible. PCSVA students and families will enter through the Visitors Door at the top of the breezeway to enter near the Media Center.

For the 2024-2025 school year, students must be dropped off in front of the gymnasium and not any other building location, such as the front of the school or T-wing lot. Carline is indicated on the map below with yellow arrows. Due to construction, students will enter the building at the entrance indicated by the pink star on the map below.

Student drivers will enter and exit the student parking lot by using the Ridge Road entrance shown in red arrows on the map below.

Visitors to the building will need to park in the upper part of the gym-side lot and enter the building by the media center, indicated by the green star on the map below.

We align with the traditional school calendar with PCS; the first day for students is Tuesday, August 27, 2024. PCSVA utilizes the Google Workspace platform where teachers will instruct using both Google Meet and Google Classroom. Students enrolled in grades 9-12 also participate in courses through NC Schools of Science and Math. These courses begin on Tuesday, August 27 and courses for students who are enrolled at PCC will begin on Thursday, August 15, 2024. PCSVA courses are asynchronous on Wednesdays.

Our program is designed to focus on effectively providing a high-quality, virtual learning environment for all students and we ask that families commit to being enrolled for the entire school year. Student engagement is critical in the virtual learning environment; therefore, students will be expected to keep their cameras on during synchronous (live) instruction with their teachers and peers. Attendance will be taken based on this policy. There will also be opportunities daily for students to work asynchronously and having parent/family support is strongly encouraged.

While we are able to instruct our students virtually, all district and state-mandated assessments will need to be conducted in person onsite at our location. Assessment schedules and detailed instructions will be provided in advance of each district and state-mandated assessment for 6-12 students.

All athletic packets are now digital. Please go to https://www.dragonflymax.com/ and create an account. Athletes will need to link parents to their accounts. All necessary forms are listed on https://www.dragonflymax.com/. Questions? Please reach out to Coach Dacus, athletic director, at dacusc@person.k12.nc.us.

Students in grades 6-12 are eligible to participate in athletic programs at their assigned base schools. If your child is interested in trying out for these sports, please complete your child's sports physicals. Forms can be picked up in the main office of the assigned base school.

Person High School Athletics requires students to register online here. You may email the coaches directly for more information about workout/tryouts for each sport.
