"The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without a teacher." Elbert Hubbard.

At Pearl City School, parents can expect a safe environment for the students, an environment where students can express themselves freely. At Pearl City School, our students will achieve success

Leader of the Pack
 

At the Jr. /Sr. High we reward students for showing great character and for being a “Leader of the Pack.”  Each teacher and staff member was able to nominate a student who showed these qualities throughout the month. The Pearl City School District does not only want to stress the importance of academics but also good values.  We continue to strive to guide students to become responsible citizens.  The students of today are the leaders of tomorrow.  Congratulations to all the students for being nominated as a “Leader of the Pack.”
 

BREAKFAST/LUNCH PROGRAM:

Students in grades 3-12 will be implementing a biometric finger scan and/or using an ID card.  Grades K-2 have a bar codes but no lunch card.  It is very important that by the start of school your child has money in his/her account even if they only purchase a carton of milk for lunch.  There will be no cash taken in the lunch line.  All lunch money will be handed in to the office by 9:00 a.m. each morning, so the student’s account can be properly credited.

If you are writing a check for more than one child, the money will be split evenly among your children’s accounts unless you note otherwise in the memo area of your check.  Cash must be in an envelope with your child’s full name on it.

SCHOOL YEAR VACATIONS:

Occasionally students must miss school because their parents take vacations or must be out of town during the school year.  While we wish every student were in class every possible day, we realize absences of this type are unavoidable.

Approximately two weeks prior to such an absence the parent or guardian should write a note indicating the anticipated dates of absence and the reason.  The student should immediately bring this note to the principal for written approval and then should take the note to each of their teachers so absences will be excused and any work can be assigned in advance.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION:

Vocational education opportunities will be offered to Pearl City District students without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, or handicap.  Additional information or help regarding this policy may be obtained from the Superintendent of Schools, 100 S. Summit, Pearl City, IL 61062   815/443-2715

Substance Abuse Testing Program

Pearl City High School established a substance abuse testing program five years ago and will again be testing during the 2010-2011 school year.  The Pearl City School District is taking the initiative to maintain and improve the health and safety of students. 

Students, who plan on participating in any extra curricular activity during the 2010-2011 school year and their parents/guardians must sign the Substance Abuse Testing Policy.  If you are playing a fall sport this policy must be signed before the first contest.  All other participants must have the policy signed by September 1, 2010.
