This is a message from PSHS Parents, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for helping us this morning with picking up your child in a timely manner. I could not have asked for a better response on such short notice. However, I am glad to say that school will resume tomorrow on regular schedule. Once again Thanks you for all you do

This is a message from PSHS Parents, Please listen carefully as there are several bits of information to be announce. School will release early Wednesday September 22nd at 11:30 am. Please make all the necessary arrangement for your child to be picked up if they do not ride a bus. As principal of Purnell Swett High School, safety is the most important part of the school day; so, to add another layer of protection we will be conducting random classroom and bus searches to confiscate any contraband or weapons that students may have. These searches are legal and permitted as I have checked so there is no reason to call the school asking why? Progress Reports will go out Friday September 24th. It is important to remember parents that you ask your students about their grades. Finally, there is a lot of confusion about students learning virtually. Schools do not approve students for virtual school that is the responsibility of the central office. We are currently experiencing issues with students and parents wanting to attend school virtually and I will say it for the 1000th time, I do not have anything to do with that process. Students cannot learn virtually what they would face2face so parents you are doing your child a disservice when you allow them to stay at home. Almost all of the students sent home for COVID has been exposures and not positive cases as you like to think. If you follow protocol it is safe to be in school.

Good evening Ram Family, Just as a reminder that student safety is our number one concern here at PSHS. Today, Wednesday September 8th a 12th grade student’s vehicle was searched based on information from a prior off campus incident. During the search a firearm was retrieved. PSHS does not tolerate or condone this type of behavior and disciplinary actions will be enforced. Additionally, all policies and procedures mandated by the Public Schools of Robeson County will be followed. I want to remind all students if you see something, if you know something then please say something. Thank you and have a good evening.
