Need to make a schedule change? Course Change Request Forms are now available on the JH-HS Counselor webpage: https://www.pettisvilleschools.org/page/jhhs-counselor or in the Counseling Center.
If you're thinking about adjusting your courses, be sure to get your request in within the first two weeks of the semester. Just a reminder, course changes should be based on academic needs or graduation requirements, not social preferences like being in the same class as friends. See you soon, Blackbirds!

'Twas the Night Before August
Twas the night before August, and all through the halls,
Not a creature was stirring... not even dodgeballs.
The lockers were silent, the whiteboards were bare,
While echoes of laughter still hung in the air.
The pencils were sharpened (well… maybe just one),
The custodian’s waxing was finally done.
The lunch trays were stacked in the kitchen with care,
In hopes that no mystery meat shows up there.
In the teacher’s lounge fridge sits a lunch from July,
(If you open that Tupperware… may the odds be on your side.)
The Chromebooks are charging, the Wi-Fi’s alive,
The school is just waiting for students to arrive.
And deep in the library, eerie but neat,
A stack of old yearbooks fell off its seat.
The beanbags were fluffed, the bookmarks in place,
The old legend claims there's a haunted bookcase.
So rest up, young Blackbirds, while summer still gleams,
Because August is knocking with schedules and dreams.
Your teachers are prepping, their lesson plans tight—
Happy Last Day of July… and good luck sleeping tonight. 😄👻

The Pettisville Board of Education will hold its July meeting on Monday, July 14th at 8:00 PM. This meeting is open to the public.


Since we’re already on a roll with planning... let’s talk school supplies! 🎒✏️
Yes, it’s still summer.
Yes, your kids are hopefully still barefoot and covered in popsicle juice, or lost in a great book.
And yes... It’s officially time to start hunting for that one oddly specific folder and a glue stick that isn’t already dried shut. 😅
Check out the 2025-26 supply lists on our website: pettisvilleschools.org

And while we’re in back-to-school planning mode...
Why not go all in? Let’s talk school photo dates while we’re at it! 📸
Now might be a good time to schedule those back-to-school haircuts... ✂️
no pressure, just… you know... your kid’s forever yearbook photo.😉


Summer: “Just getting started!” ☀️🌴
School: “Ready or not... here I come!” 📚✏️
We know you're still in flip-flops and sunscreen, and just trying to stay cool, but those back-to-school vibes are slowly creeping in. To help with your planning (and maybe ease a little calendar anxiety), here’s the 2025 staggered start info!
Enjoy every cannonball, popsicle, and lazy morning this summer, Blackbirds! 😎🍎


The 2025-26 Elementary Roster is posted. We hope your summer is full of sunshine, popsicles, and pool days.
