Message from the Principal

At Pike County Elementary School, we believe that every child can succeed. Our mission is to base all school decisions on the individual learning needs of our students while striving for excellence in reading, science, math, and STEM initiatives. We are committed to creating a nurturing yet challenging learning environment where each child can thrive. Your active involvement in your child’s education is essential to their success.

Here are a few tips to help support your child's learning and growth:

  • Establish a consistent homework routine: Set a regular time and a quiet, well-lit space for your child to complete homework.

  • Encourage reading: Read with your child every day, even if only for 15–20 minutes. This helps build vocabulary, comprehension, and a lifelong love of reading.

  • Limit screen time: Set reasonable limits on television, video games, and other devices, especially during homework and bedtime.

  • Celebrate effort and progress: Recognize your child’s hard work and growth, not just their grades.

  • Support healthy habits: Ensure your child gets enough sleep and eats nutritious meals to help them stay focused and energized throughout the school day.

  • Stay connected with teachers: Use ParentSquare to keep in regular contact with your child’s teacher, discuss their progress, and work together to support their learning.

By working together, we can build a strong foundation for your child’s academic and personal success. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or the school office if you have any questions or need additional support.

Warm regards,
Mr. Drish
