Back to School

  • The Back to School Resource page is full of information and resources for both students and parents. Please be sure to look at all resources that you can access through the general topics on the menu to the left.

    Each page includes information, along with links, to support both students and parents. 

    Porter Ridge High School staff is excited to see our students and to get back to learning. We consider parents to be partners in this process and hope that you will let us know what additional information we can provide for you. We will continue to encourage our high school students to gain independence by communicating with their teachers, counselors, and administrators with any questions, concerns, or problems.  

    This page will continue to have information added as we increase resources.

Back to School information is located on our website under Quick Links. There is information about finding your child's schedule, how to read the schedule, and how to request a schedule correction if your child falls into one of the specific categories listed on this site. A school map is also available here for a student to access through their UCPS Google account. All students will report directly to their first-period class in the morning. Students can see their schedule through NCEdCloud on their Chromebook, or by downloading the PowerSchool App on their device. Students can see how to view their schedule by going to the "Back to School Information" link above. If a student cannot accomplish this and needs assistance finding their schedule, they should report to the high school cafe when they arrive and staff will be there to assist them with accessing their schedule through their Chromebook and/or phone. Students who enrolled this summer and need help finding their schedule should also report to the cafeteria for assistance.
