Q: Can I get a tour of the school?
A: Unfortunately, we do not offer private school tours. We will host our Back-to-School Night on September 24, 2026, from 6:00–8:00 p.m. This is an opportunity for students to walk their families through their schedules, meet their teachers, and connect with PCMS administration.
There will also be many volunteer opportunities throughout the school year. Volunteering is a great way for guardians to get involved and become part of the PCMS community, both on and off campus.
PCMS will also host a Welcome Event for 5th Grade Families on March 11, 2027.
Q: Other schools are hosting an Open House, and I haven’t heard anything about this from PCMS. Are you having one?
A: While we understand that some schools have chosen to host an Open House before the start of the school year, PCMS will host a Back-to-School Night on September 24, 2026, from 6:00–8:00 p.m. This event is for students and families and is a great opportunity to meet teachers, learn more about the school, and walk through your student’s schedule.
Q: How can I contact my student’s teachers?
A: Teachers have different communication preferences. Once school begins, your student’s teachers will send information to families about their preferred method of communication. Please use that method when reaching out to them throughout the school year.
Q: My student would like to change their schedule/make a schedule request. Who can I speak to about a schedule change?
A: Building the master schedule is an intricate process that requires hundreds of hours of planning. Even seemingly minor changes can have a significant impact on classes and student schedules. Due to the complexity of the scheduling process, we are not accepting schedule change requests. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Q: My student is advanced in math. How can they move to a higher-level math class?
A: Unfortunately, there will not be math bypass testing available this fall. However, we will review student data in the spring. This is a district-wide change for the 2026–27 school year. Please wait for spring communication from PCMS.
Q: I have a student with an IEP. Who can I speak to about this?
A: Your student’s IEP case manager will reach out to you regarding their plan once they return from summer break. Please allow them time to reconnect with families and prepare for the new school year.
Q: I have a student with a 504 plan. Who can I speak to about this?
A: Your student’s counselor will reach out to you regarding their 504 plan once they return from summer break. Please allow them time to reconnect with families and prepare for the new school year.
Q: I need to request a new 504 plan. How do I do this?
A: If you would like to request a new 504 plan, please email your student’s counselor.
*Please be aware that it may take up to a month for this to be scheduled.
