THE FIRST 3 DAYS OF SCHOOL ARE MINIMUM DAY SCHEDULE
A friendly reminder that Monday, August 21 - Wednesday, August 23 we will be on a minimum day schedule. Student will be released at 12:44 PM. A copy of the daily bell schedule is available on our school website.
WHEN WILL MY CHILD FIND OUT THEIR CLASS SCHEDULE AND WHO THEIR TEACHERS ARE?
Students will receive their class schedule on the first day of school. Sixth graders will make their way to the grassy area in front of the school just inside the gates where tables will be set up. Students will be able to pick up their class schedule at the tables. They will line up by their first period teacher's name and then their first period teacher will escort them to their first class.
Seventh and eighth graders will report to the lunch arbor before school begins. There will be large posters in the lunch arbor with your last name and your first period teacher's name and room number listed. When the 7:55 AM bell rings you will proceed to your first period teacher's classroom. Your first period teacher will hand out your class schedule for the new school year.
PANTHERS DO YOU STILL HAVE TEXTBOOKS OR BOOKS FROM LAST SCHOOL YEAR?
If your Pershing student has one or more textbooks checked out to them from previous years, you may return these textbooks to the Pershing Library Monday - Friday from 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM. If there are any additional questions, please call Jakalah Jones at 619-362-3550 or email her at jjones7@sandi.net. Thank you in advance for your support.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES
As a public school, Pershing will provide any school supplies that are required for a student's academic program (i.e. paper, pencil, etc.). Teachers will also typically provide a suggested supply list for their specific course in the class syllabus they distribute during the first week of school.
That being said, many families prefer to purchase their own personalized supplies. Below is a list of SUGGESTED school supplies that will work for all grade levels and aligns with our AVID program:
- Backpack
- 1 1/2" 3-ring binder with subject dividers
- pencil pouch
- pencils
- pens (blue & black ink preferred)
- highlighter
- scissors
- calculator
- glue stick
- colored pencils
- lined paper
- college-rule single subject spiral notebooks (one for each core subject)
FREE SCHOOL MEAL PROGRAM CONTINUES FOR 2023-24
The State of California has continued its commitment to its Universal Meals program that allows CA public school students to receive one breakfast and one lunch each school day at no cost. However, this school year meal eligibility applications will be necessary. A copy of the meal eligibility application will be sent home in the welcome packet all students will receive from their first period teachers during the second week of school.
