What are the requirements for enrolling my child?
PMCS accepts children who are between 21/2 - 6 years old and toilet-trained. Primary students must be enrolled for the number of days which corresponds to their age (2 year olds must be enrolled for at least two days, etc.). How are food allergies addressed? We follow VA Dept of Social Services guidelines in addressing and accommodating allergy restrictions. Do you provide lunch? No. Children who stay for lunch must bring their own lunch. Do you provide snacks? Yes, a snack is available in the morning. Parents provide a week's worth of snacks for the entire class on a rotating basis. How does the school inform parents of their child's progress? Regular communication with parents, including a weekly e-newsletter, parent-teacher conferences, and an open communication policy. Parents are welcome to observe their child's class any time. Is parental involvement encouraged? Yes. Parents are the child's primary educator and the teachers at PMCS know that parental involvement is a critical to your child's success. Parents also must commit a set number of volunteer hours to the school for each school year. Parents are invited to volunteer in the classroom, for field-trips, for school events, etc. How do I enroll my child? Please contact us to schedule a visit to see the school.
