Parkway Center City Middle College

Notes from the Principal

Principal Wallace would like to remind the Parkway community of the following:

• Dress Code Reminder

While PCCMC does not require uniforms, all students must follow the school’s Dress Code Policy. Please take time to review the policy with your child. The full policy is included below for your reference.

•  Attendance & Punctuality

Please make every effort to have your child arrive by 8:00 a.m. daily. Consistent, on-time attendance is vital for your child’s success

Back-to-School Night

Mark your calendars! Back-to-School Night will be held on Thursday, September 11, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at PCCMC.

In addition to the 9th and 10th grade teachers being available to the underclassmen, during the evening, we will also hold mandatory sessions for junior and senior families:

•Juniors: Families will review the procedures and requirements for participating as a Community College of Philadelphia (CCP) student.

•Seniors: Families will receive essential information to ensure students are fully prepared for graduation, college, and career success.

We look forward to seeing you there.
