Pottsgrove Middle School

POTTSTOWN PA – Pottsgrove Middle School students and their parents who are having a difficult time understanding the school schedules made available Tuesday, hold on; help is available, Principal Bill Ziegler said Wednesday (Aug. 8, 2012).

Ziegler, in two separate e-mails, made these observations about the schedules:

1. If your child’s schedule is missing a class, contact Ziegler directly by e-mail, here.
2. If you see a scheduled period labeled “I/E,” it represents “time for Intervention/Enrichment to increase student achievement.” Club activities, music programs, and other extracurriculars fit in this period. Specific information on enrichment activities probably won’t be finalized until the week before school.
3. Musical groups such as orchestra, band, and chorus are not listed on schedules, as their times will be posted by their directors before school begins.
4. All schedules should be finalized by Aug. 22, but can be subject to change before then.
5. Want your child to be on a specific teaching team? Don’t ask; those requests cannot be honored.
6. Parents needing assistance accessing the district’s PowerSchool portal for information on their children should send an e-mail here.

“We are excited that school is just around the corner,” Ziegler added. “Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.”
