_{KEY ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS}

Welcome Back!

We had a wonderful first day of school as we officially launched the 2026–2027 school year! This morning, we began our day in the Fishburne Gym with a brief assembly where we welcomed everyone back, introduced our new faculty and staff, and introduced students to their new advisors.

Afterward, students spent time in advisory and began the process of figuring out their schedules, finding their classrooms, enjoying community time, and navigating lunch. There have been a lot of smiles throughout the day, along with just a little bit of nervousness—which is to be expected on the first day of school!

Tomorrow, we will have another special assembly to review rules and expectations with students and help set them up for success throughout the year. We are excited about the year ahead and are looking forward to all that our students will learn, experience, and accomplish. It is going to be a wonderful year!

Middle School Back-to-School Night
On Wednesday, August 26, we will host our Back-to-School Night from 5:30-7 p.m. As part of our sustainability efforts, we will not print student schedules and ask you to take a picture of your student’s schedule in MyPG. The evening will begin with a presentation in the auditorium followed by an Open House format where parents and caregivers are free to visit any teacher their child has in any order through the night. Staff will be on hand to help find your child’s classrooms. Special area teachers and Ms. Campbell will be located in the Middle School Library. We hope you can join us! 

Extended Day: Cyclone Club
After-school supervision for Middle School students is available through our Auxiliary Programs. The Cyclone Club offers a secure, fun, and relaxed setting where students can complete homework, make new friends, and try something new. Click here to learn more and register. Please note that students may not be unsupervised on campus after 3:10 p.m.

SchoolPass Reminder
Please remember to use SchoolPass for all attendance-related information, including absences, early dismissals, and dismissal changes. SchoolPass notifies all faculty of any updates, so it is not necessary to email teachers separately or call the front office. If you need to install or reinstall the SchoolPass app, click here for Apple devices and click here for Google. To reset your password, click here. For additional assistance, please contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@portergaud.edu.
