Parents/guardians-- here are a few tips for how you can support your child(ren)'s academic success...

• Check your child's planner daily for assignments, deadlines and quizzes/tests.
• Set a time for your child to focus on completing work and studying each evening.
• Check grades in PowerSchool frequently.
• Reach out to your child's teacher(s) if you have concerns about a specific class(es).
• Set a reasonable bedtime for your child and remove access to technology while your child is sleeping.
• Encourage your child to eat breakfast and lunch daily (school meals are free this year!)
• Support regular all day attendance so your child is not missing instruction.
• Ensure that your child's Chromebook is fully charge each day and limit non-instructional use of Chromebooks.
• Discuss the importance of education with your child, set goals to encourage good attendance, good behavior and good grades.

We are in this together!

Please ensure that your child(ren) attend school regularly. Chronic absenteeism negatively affects academic achievement and adds additional stress to students to catch up with missing work. Notes for absences may be emailed to pcms@pagecounty.k12.va.us. Remember that you must call the school by 9:15 a.m. to report the absence AND must send a note within 3 days of the absence for the absence to be excused.

Progress and Reports Cards will be available through the Parent Portal. Call Mrs. Smith in the front office if you have not yet set up your Parent Portal.

-A Parent Portal Help Session will be held at Page County Middle School between 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. on Monday, September 26. Come on in if you need assistance.

-Parent Portal allows you to check your child's grades in PowerSchool at any time.

Page Middle will be selling Star Valley Candles and Tarts from October 17-28. Profits will be used for student reward activities and the end of year celebration. Orders will arrive around mid-November. Ask a student to place an order. Thank you for supporting Page County Middle School!
