Happy Friday Bobcat Community!
Greetings Bobcat Community,
First, and foremost, thank you for attending the Back-to-School night earlier this week. We had a good turnout, and it is our hope you learned more about how your child is being prepared for a thriving future. Second, the newly implemented PWCS cell phone policy is going well, and I thank you for being supportive in this effort to ensure our students are engaged in the learning in each of their classes.
We have concluded our grade level assemblies where students got an opportunity to see who their administrator and school counselors are since there have been some changes in staff. We also kicked off our positive message to the students and encouraged them to "Be the One" who models and sets the tone for the school.
PWCS has provided parents with a process to place restrictions on the type of books your child can check out in the school library. Please click on this link for instructions: Parent Library Controls
I encourage you to join your child's Canvas page as an observer so you can have up-to-date information about upcoming assessments, etc. As always, thank you for entrusting me with your child; I am so excited to watch them grow!
As a reminder, schools are closed Friday, August 30 and Monday, September 2 for the Labor Day holiday. Enjoy!

Medication at School
Our GOAL is to keep students in school, healthy and ready to learn. It is very common for teenagers to suffer from headaches, menstrual cramps, orthodontic or musculoskeletal pain during the school day.
Parents can complete the medication form any time during the school year. This form provides the school nurse permission to administer prescription or over the counter medication (ibuprofen, excedrin etc) to your student. Parents must provide a small unopened bottle of medication to keep in the clinic for the entire school year.
Download and complete the Authorization for Medication Administration Form. Please contact your school nurse, Mrs. Mount, if you have any questions at mountja@pwcs.edu or 703-743-3540

Metal Detectors at Varsity Football Games
Bobcats, welcome back to school! Varsity football games are a wonderful social event for our students and families. Please prepare for walking through a metal detector at all Varsity Football games throughout Prince William County. Gates will not open prior to an hour before game time. Also gates will be closed at the end of the 3rd quarter so there will be no entry in the 4th quarter of the football game.
