Questions you may be asking.

We're so excited that you've joined the PA family! See some common questions and answers below as you look forward to this fall. Additionally, be sure to check-out our Current Families page for calendars, important information, helpful links, and news. If you are joining us in the summer, closer to the start of school we'll send you a link to a back-to-school page with even more helpful information!

  • I've completed the enrollment packet. Is there anything else that I need to submit?

    Unless you submitted them with your enrollment packet, you'll need to turn in the following:

    • Birth Certificate
    • Immunizations on the Tennessee Form
    • Proof of Physcial within one year of the first day of school (If you're going to play sports in 6th-12th grade, you'll have to submit the sports physical documents as well)
    • 9-12th Grade Students should submit an unofficial copy of your transcript. Classes cannot be assigned until we receive.
  • Where can I find my child's school supply list?

    School supply lists are available here. 


    Tissues, hand sanitizer, wipes, and paper can be dropped off in the main office. The remaining supplies go to the classroom with the student. 

  • When will I find out about my child's classes and teacher(s)?

    Teacher assignments are released at the end of July. You will get an email at that time. High School students who still need to select electives will be contacted initially via email by our College and Career Counselor, Joni Davis. She is working hard now to put together the schedules that your students need. Remember, classes may not be assigned for 9th-12th grade students until we have received a copy of your transcript. 

  • What if our family needs to sign-up for after care services?

    After School  Care begins on the first day of school. Regular hours are 3:15–5:30 pm each day school is in full-day session. Information and enrollment in the program is 

    here. 

  • How do I order lunch throughout the year?

    You can order lunch in the family portal you used to complete enrollment under the "Student" tab. If you need help doing so, you can watch a brief tutorial here. More information about ordering times will be  included in the summer letter as well.

  • Where can I complete a background check?

    For any one who attends campus events, or field trips we ask that they complete a background check. Please complete the form here. Background checks need to be completed every 3 years. 

  • MS/HS P.E. Uniforms

    6th-8th Grade PE Uniforms


    Any upcoming 6th–8th grade student is required to dress out for PE each class meeting. Uniforms can be purchased here. These are the same uniforms we’ve used for years past, so if your child still has theirs, they are able to wear it again. You may also buy individual pieces of the uniform or multiples if you’d like. 



    9th-12th Grade PE/Weightlifting Uniforms


    Any upcoming 9th-12th grade student taking PE, Health/Wellness, or weightlifting is required to dress out for each class meeting. Uniforms can be purchased here. These are new and updated dri-fit uniforms for the high school program and can be used again for each year they take a PE or weightlifting class. You may also buy individual pieces of the uniform or multiples if you’d like. 


    *Many PA families have the PE uniforms (gray tshirt and burgundy shorts) from previous years, and we are allowing you to use that uniform as well if you would not like to purchase a new high school one.*

  • My child wants to play sports. Who do I contact to sign-up and get more info?
