🧼💙 Let’s work together to keep PCS classrooms healthy!

✅ Encourage handwashing and covering coughs/sneezes
✅ Keep your child home if they have a fever, vomiting, or diarrhea
✅ Follow return-to-school guidelines for contagious illnesses like strep, pink eye, or chickenpox

By following these steps, we can limit the spread of germs and keep students learning. For more information, contact your school nurse or visit the CDC’s Infection Prevention Guidance for Schools: https://www.cdc.gov/orr/school-preparedness/infection-prevention/index.html

PECHS students had the opportunity to learn more about the programs at NC State on September 4th.

Earth Science students have been learning about astronomy and put their engineering skills to the test by building and racing moon rovers. They had limited supplies and the rovers had to be powered by rubber bands. The winning rover traveled 262cm!

Biology classes have been learning about cell membranes and transport. They conducted an experiment to study osmosis with gummy bears and carrots. No real bears were harmed in this experiment.

🎓Is your student considering a future at a U.S. Service Academy?

Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 20, 2025, as U.S. Senator Ted Budd hosts a Service Academy Day for North Carolina families.
