Parents, progress reports went home this past Wednesday. If you would like to meet with your child's teachers to discuss their progress please reach out to them at your earliest convenience. Staying on top of their progress now will make their success more likely at the end of the semester.

8th Grade transition night will take place on March 6th at 6:00 PM. This is an opportunity for parents and rising ninth grade students to explore the electives available as students at PCHS. Class registration for all rising ninth graders will take place after this event so it is important to know which electives your child would like to request. We hope to see all members of the class of 2029 in attendance on this evening.

experiences that extend the FFA experience to members across the country.
➢ FFA chapters unite with their communities during this week, leading to diverse service
projects that give back and create meaningful impacts.

Students are encouraged to participate in FFA Week- each day prizes will be given for students participating in the activities. In addition Wednesday Feb. 19 is Ag Teacher Appreciation Day.

Hello from Chowan University,

We are planning Campapalooza 2025 Academic Summer Camp and it is going to be the best one yet! Our academic summer camp offers a 5-day college experience for high school students. Our camps offer fun, learning and friends! We are planning some new camps this year as well as some old favorites!

Please share the interest form far and wide with your students, friends and colleagues so that we can develop the camps that the students want. Camps are for high school students 15-18 years old.

Here is the link to the Interest Form:

As part of Financial Aid Awareness Month, CFNC has made available all the tools and resources to help get the word out about FAFSA February, the special month-long push to help more students and families learn about the resources that can help them pay for college.

Please join us sharing and amplifying the handy Social Media tools, PowerPoint slides for presentations and digital displays, as well as the FAFSA 101 landing page to help inform and guide parents step by step through the FAFSA (Federal Application for Federal Student Aid).

Remember - FAFSA is the First Step to All Financial Aid: With the Next NC Scholarship, most students from households with incomes of $80,000 or less will qualify for at least $3,000/year to attend a NC community college that covers all tuition and fees. For students planning to go to a UNC institution, they can get $5,000/year that covers more than half, if not all, tuition and fees. And for students going to a NC private college there is a state Need-Based Scholarship for them, too!
