Back To School Information

CONTINUING PCHS STUDENTS and RISING TMJH STUDENTS:  
SEE BELOW for your enrollment instructions and information about the new school year. Parents of continuing students MUST complete the Student Enrollment Update process EVERY school year BEFORE the first day of school.  During this process, parents declare whether or not their student will be continuing their enrollment for the next school year, update their contact information, provide updated proof of residency, and agree to annual school policies.

NEW STUDENTS:  
To enroll a NEW student (new to the Park City School District, or a former student re-enrolling after having withdrawn from a district school), see the New Student Enrollment page for enrollment information.  NOTE: If you pre-enrolled your new student and met with the counselor in May, you have already completed your enrollment. See the Back to School information below, just skip the Enrollment Update section.

Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year!  

First Day of School:  TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 2024.  It will be a combined RED & WHITE Day.

PCHS Summer Office Hours: August 1-19, Monday-Friday, from 8:00am to 3:00pm (closed 12:00-1:00pm for lunch). Regular office hours will resume August 20.

Parents: Update Your Student's Enrollment Information (School Registration): ***REQUIRED BEFORE AUGUST 20.*** 

Students will NOT be allowed to attend school until the online enrollment is complete!  The parents of ALL returning students must complete the online Student Enrollment Update EVERY school year.  Parents will receive a “snapcode” for each of their students via email.  Use the "snapcode link" in the email to access the online system.  NOTE: We started sending out snapcodes in March, so many families may have already completed this.  If you didn’t get the snapcode email, a paper copy can be picked up at the school.  If you don’t have access to a computer or the internet at home, computers are available at the local libraries and at the school.  (If you have a New Student and completed your pre-enrollment in May, you will have already completed this.)  Students and parents will not have access to PowerSchool until this is done.

  • Proof of Residency is required for all students this year!  The parents/legal guardians with whom the student lives must provide THREE (3) proof documents in their name. ONLY documents that meet the district’s Proof of Residency Requirements (Requisitos de prueba de residencia) will be accepted. Proof documents MUST BE UPLOADED into the online system--you won't be able to finish and submit it until three documents or photos are uploaded.  For your Column A residency document, if you own your home and no longer have a mortgage, you can provide your most recent Property Tax Notice.  You can save your work, log out, and log back in later to finish if you need time to gather your proofs, but remember to submit it when you are done!  If you have moved outside of the district boundaries, you may apply for Open Enrollment.
  • Not Returning?  Enter the online enrollment system using your snapcode and declare that your student will NOT be enrolled at PCHS for the 2024-2025 school year. Answer the first question, tell us where they will be enrolled, submit, and you’re done. Or email the PCHS Registrar.
  • Need Help?  If your student will be at PCHS (grades 10-12), email the PCHS Registrar, Jennifer Frink, and include your student’s full name, date of birth, your name and your relationship to the student. Jennifer can help with snapcodes for PCHS students, logging into the enrollment system, forgotten usernames or passwords, and proof of residency questions. More info is also available on the Park City School District–Current Student Enrollment Update page.  It’s a very busy time of year, so please be patient and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
  • If you pre-enrolled your NEW student and met with the counselor in May, you have already completed your enrollment. You can proceed to the information below, and skip this Enrollment Update section.

Parking Permits: 
Due to the ongoing construction, we will have a limited number of student parking spaces available. Refer to the Parking Permits page of our website for parking rules and permit purchase information. Alternatives to parking at the school include carpooling, walking, biking, the district's School Bus service, and public transportation services Park City Transit and High Valley Transit. Please contact the main office with parking questions.

Student Laptops:
Laptops will be distributed per the schedule below. Parents, make sure you've completed your student's Online Enrollment Update (registration) and agreed to all the technology policies FIRST. Students must bring a padded laptop bag with them to pick up their laptop. Signs will be posted at the high school to direct students where to go. Please address laptop questions to the main office.

  • Juniors - August 16, 8:00 am to 2:00 pm
  • New students - Every attempt will be made to get laptops to new students for the first day of school, however, it does take more time to set up new student laptops and accounts, so there may be a slight delay.

Class Schedules and Schedule Change Requests:
From 7:00am August 6 through 7:00am August 13, students will have the opportunity to view and potentially make adjustments to their class schedules online via ClassChoice. For full information and instructions, see the ClassChoice page. DO NOT email your counselor for a schedule change. NO schedule changes will be accepted August 13-19 as we finalize class rosters and teachers begin preparing for their classes. NOTE: The schedule you see in ClassChoice is not necessarily your final schedule. Schedules are subject to change prior to the first day of school as we work to balance class sizes. Your FINAL class schedule will be the one you see in PowerSchool* on the morning of August 20. Beginning the first day of school, and for five days ONLY, changes can be requested in person in the Counseling Office (see the secretary, Ms. Jensen, for an appointment slip).  Schedule Change Policy

Red/White Day Calendar:
The first day of school, August 20th, will be a modified schedule of all Red and White day classes so students can meet all their teachers. August 21st will be a White day, August 22nd will be a Red day, and so on, with Red and White alternating daily. You can get a Red/White magnet calendar from the main office. The Calendar page of the PCHS website includes Red/White days, school holidays, and school events.

Lunch Times:
Your lunch schedule, either A Lunch or B Lunch, is determined by the teacher you have for 3rd period. Check the Teacher Lunch Schedules list posted on the main office windows or ask your 3rd period teacher. Your lunch time may be different on Red and White days. At the semester change in January, your lunch time may change if your 3rd period class changes.

These programs would not exist without you. Donations can be made on the PCEF Website.

Parent PowerSchool and Canvas Accounts:
Parents can monitor their student’s grades, attendance, and assignments online using PowerSchool and Canvas. Parent PowerSchool and Canvas Account information will be provided via email shortly after the school year begins. With the information we provide, you will create your own usernames and passwords and can link all your district students to your parent accounts. Parents in separate households can each create their own accounts. If you set up your Parent Accounts previously, you can continue using them; you don’t need to create new ones. For help, see the "Parents" tab on the Technology page of our website. 

  • NOTE: Students and parents will NOT have access to PowerSchool until the student's enrollment is complete for this school year. Refer to the "Enrollment Update (Registration)" section above.

Quarterly Report Cards:
PCHS does not mail paper report cards or midterm reports. PCHS provides quarterly report cards electronically in PowerSchool, and parents can monitor current grades any time in PowerSchool. When report cards are ready (one week after the end of the quarter), they will be uploaded to the student and parent PowerSchool accounts. You will receive a notification via email, then you can log in to PowerSchool to view and print the report card as needed. Parents, please make sure the school has your correct email address! 

Optional Student Insurance Information:
The safety of our students is of critical importance to all of us and we want to protect them from injury. Even so, accidents do happen (at school and elsewhere) and required medical care can be expensive. Please know that your school/district does not assume responsibility for such costs but does offer you access to several student accident insurance plans for voluntary purchase.
