Good morning, PSA families! 

We are excited to welcome everyone back to school today! Here are a few reminders for today:

  • At 8:10 AM, students will be allowed to enter the building and report directly to the gymnasium only.
  • After being dropped off this morning, students will report to the gym to find out who their homeroom teachers are. They homeroom teachers will be posted on the walls and on the monitor in the gym. Due to the amount of students in the gym before school, no games involving the bouncing or throughing of any objects is allowed in the gym.

During School:
  • Students are encouraged to walk on the righ side of the hallways during transition.

  • Students will have five minutes between classes to stop by locker and/or go to the restroom.
  • During 1st & 2nd Lunches, students will get their lunch items from the concession stand and eat in the gym. Weather conditions and staffing will determine going outside or not for lunches after the first ten minutes of the lunches begin.
  • Students who did not get a chromebook on "Student Pick Up" day will be able to get one during lunches.
Dismissal: (PSA Traffic Map)
  • At 3:20, students will be dismissed for the day.
  • Parents, please follow the traffic map for pick up and drop off.
    • If you are going towards Summerville or Cross County Road when leaving campus, please drop off and pick up in the back loop and use the traffic light.
