Piedmont Community Charter School

Welcome

Welcome to second grade! This year will be a growing year for your child. Not only will they learn a lot, they will also learn to be more responsible. Please fill out the yellow cards and turn in $3.00 in the envelope with your child’s name. Please place the yellow cards and money in the yellow basket.
Thank you for allowing me to assist you in educating your child. Education Week states: “When schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like school more.” That’s the conclusion of a recent report from the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory. The report, a synthesis of research on parent involvement over the past decade, goes on to find that, regardless of family income or background, students with involved parents are more likely to:

Earn higher grades and test scores, and enroll in higher-level programs;
Be promoted, pass their classes, and earn credits;
Attend school regularly;
Have better social skills, show improved behavior, and adapt well to school; and
Graduate and go on to postsecondary education” (Henderson & Mapp, 2002).
Our School Day

We start our school day at 8:00 sharp. Please have your child here before 8:00. The door to our building opens at 7:30 and will be locked at 8:00. We have a busy day and many things to learn. When a child is late, he/she misses out on important concepts. The first two weeks of school, we may be heading to dismissal early. We are practicing procedures, so please do not take your child until we finish practicing and I dismiss them. Thank you for helping me keep your child safe.
First Twenty Days of School

Please make sure your child is here everyday for the first twenty days of school. This is very important for a charter school because our funding is based on attendance for the first twenty days. If you do have to take your child out for an appointment, please make the appointment after 11:30. If your child is sick, please send in an excuse note or email. Thank you!!!!
