Veterans Day Slideshow Submission

PACT will hold Veterans Day assemblies at each campus. As part of the program, we are creating a slideshow to honor veterans with an immediate family connection to our students or staff. If you would like to include a veteran in the slideshow, please send the following information to Ms. Erntson at news@pactcharter.org no later than Friday, October 31.

  • A photo of the veteran
  • Full name of the veteran
  • The name and grade of the PACT student(s) they are related to
  • The branch of the military in which they serve(d)
  • Where they are/were stationed

If your veteran was included in last year’s slideshow, you don't need to resubmit their information—we will use the previous submission. You can watch the last slideshow here for reference. Questions? Contact Ms. Erntson at news@pactcharter.org 
 

2026-2027 Enrollment Lottery Closes November 1

The 2026-2027 Enrollment Lottery will close on November 1! Current PACT families do not need to reapply – you are “in” until you graduate high school! However, if you have siblings still on the waiting list, you must continue to apply for them each year for the 2026-2027 school year and keep doing so until they receive an enrollment offer. Also, remember to apply for your students not at PACT (especially Kindergarteners!). Questions? Contact Ms. Hatchner (enroll@pactcharter.org).

Halloween at PACT

As Halloween approaches, we want to remind families that students are not permitted to wear costumes during the school day at PACT. Students who come to school in costume will be asked to change into regular clothing. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
 

Be Sure To Order Your Yearbook!

Yearbook orders are open through Jostens! Remember, extra copies won’t be available at the end of the year—you must order online in advance to ensure your student gets a yearbook.

Changing your dismissal plans?

If you need to change your dismissal plan for the day after 1:30 p.m., please contact the front desk, since the Silent Dismissal app won't allow changes after this time on the day of the absence. This helps us ensure students go home as their parents instructed.
