Synergy
Registration and enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year has been paused while PGCPS transitions to a new student information system, Synergy, and will reopen on July 22, 2024.
We are excited to continue registering and enrolling all new and returning families in the new Synergy student information system, beginning July 22, 2024.
Birthday Celebrations & Food Policy
Classroom birthday parties will not be approved. Parents may send party bags with approved individually and pre-packaged foods with a label to be distributed by the teacher at the end of the day for students to take home.
C. In order to protect the health of all students and avoid the risk of food borne illness, allergic reaction or food intolerance, only foods that are pre-packaged with a label; from a licensed commercial vendor and sources; whole fresh fruits and vegetables; or prepared by Nutrition Services will be allowed to be served to students.

Alphabest Update
Alphabest
Next year we will have new school hours. Our school hours will be 7:30am to 1:40pm. Students will NOT be permitted in the building prior to 7:15am. We will have Alphabest Before & Aftercare program. Alphabest aftercare enrollment information for next year is available at alphabest.org.
Online Interventions
Have your child work on their interventions at least 20 minutes daily: Lexia (k-3), iReady (4 & 5), Math Shelf (Pre-K and K), DreamBox (K-5), and Joy School English (K/1 ELD Students ). Read with your child at least 20 minutes daily.
TIP: Encourage your child to read, read, read! Reading exposes your child to a wide variety of words and phrases.
