Pitt County Schools Early College High School students are already back in class, and the first day for all other PCS students is just one week away on Monday, August 24th!

As students enjoy these last few days of summer, the incredible PCS staff is hard at work preparing for a strong start to the new school year. Pitt County Schools knows this time can feel overwhelming for families, so they've created a Back to School Essentials page to make things easier.

You’ll find everything you need—immunization info, Infinite Campus (parent portal) details, bus information, school calendars, menus, start/dismissal times, and more—all in one place.
Visit the Back to School Essentials page and get ready for a great year!
