Good evening Piedmont Families-

I hope you all had a great weekend.  I want to say thank you for a great week of end-of-semester testing.  We have concluded our 1st semester and will begin our 2nd semester tomorrow.  Teachers will work to finalize grades over the next week and we will distribute Report Cards on February 8th.  

2nd SEMESTER SCHEDULES:  Students will report directly to their Homeroom Teacher to begin the day tomorrow.  Homeroom teachers will distribute new schedules for every student.  

STUDENT PICK-UP & DROP-OFF: We ask that all parents use the entrance on Love Mill Rd (Football Stadium entrance) for morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up.  We have noticed an increase in the number of parents using the Sikes Mill entrance at arrival and dismissal.  For the safety of our students, we need to minimize the amount of traffic coming in and out of the Sikes Mill entrance.  

ENGLISH 2 EOC SCORES: We are experiencing a delay in receiving English 2 EOC scores.  Students and parents may see an Incomplete grade (INC) listed in PowerSchool until we receive scores.  We will work to input accurate grades as soon as possible.  

SPRING SPORTS: As a reminder, we will begin our spring sports season soon.  All spring sports athletes will need a current physical and will need to register in FamilyID.  If you have any questions, please call Piedmont High at 704-296-3170.

SPRING ASVAB TESTING: Piedmont High will offer the ASVAB test on February 10th.  Students can register online at ASVAB Sign-up Form.  If you have any questions or concerns, please email Major Richardson at chadrick.richardson@ucps.k12.nc.us.
