High School Retreat

This event is one of the BEST of the year! You won't want your kid to miss it. Check out this video from a prior year. And each year, the retreat just keeps getting better!   

After School  Care begins on Monday, August 11. Regular hours are 3:15–5:30 pm each day school is in full-day session. Information and enrollment in the program is here. 

6th-8th Grade PE Uniforms

Any upcoming 6th–8th grade student is required to dress out for PE each class meeting. Uniforms can be purchased here. These are the same uniforms we’ve used for years past, so if your child still has theirs, they are able to wear it again. You may also buy individual pieces of the uniform or multiples if you’d like. 

9th-12th Grade PE/Weightlifting Uniforms

Any upcoming 9th-12th grade student taking PE, Health/Wellness, or weightlifting is required to dress out for each class meeting. Uniforms can be purchased here. These are new and updated dri-fit uniforms for the high school program and can be used again for each year they take a PE or weightlifting class. You may also buy individual pieces of the uniform or multiples if you’d like. 

*Many PA families have the PE uniforms (gray tshirt and burgundy shorts) from previous years, and we are allowing you to use that uniform as well if you would not like to purchase a new high school one.*

If you ordered a supply kit, it will be delivered directly to the school. Items that stay on campus--like copy paper, hand sanitizer, and Kleenex--will be stored appropriately. All other supplies will be delivered to your child's homeroom teacher and ready for you to pick-up on Orientation Night.

Teacher assignments are released at the beginning of August. You will get an email at that time. Middle School students who still need to select electives will be contacted by Mrs. Chambers. High School students who still need to select electives will be contacted initially via email by our College and Career Counselor, Joni Davis She is working hard now to put together the schedules that your students need. Remember, classes may not be assigned for NEW 9th–12th grade students until we have received a copy of your transcript. 

Families are able to order lunch up to two weeks in advance. You will need to place orders by 8:30am on the Wednesday the week BEFORE being served. The portal will remain open all week except from 8:30–10:30am on Wednesdays while we process orders and update the system. 

If you need to cancel, you'll need to click on this link by 8:30AM the morning that you need to cancel. This link can be found on the Current Families page of the website. 

The catered lunch program will begin the first week of school. For information on how to order, click here. 

P2 is our group for parents. This is a great way for moms and dads get plugged in at the school! Sign-up to volunteer and get involved here.

Background Check Information

As part of our commitment to student safety, all visitors and volunteers are required to check in at the front office upon entering the building. During check-in, you will be asked to present a valid government-issued ID (such as a driver's license), which will be scanned through our Raptor Visitor Management System.

This quick scan performs an instant background check by screening your information against national databases. This step serves as the necessary background check for volunteering on campus and helps us ensure that everyone on site has been properly screened and approved.

Once your ID has been scanned and cleared, you will be issued a visitor badge and may proceed to your volunteer assignment.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and secure environment for our students and staff.

Place your order for a class Tshirt here! These are typically worn during most class field trips. 

Chorus (MS/HS)

All students registered for MS or HS Chorus, as well as, Chamber Ensemble must purchase their attire using this link.  In years past, we have collected a chorus fee for “rental” of attire.  This year, we are using Southeastern Performance Apparel for our choral needs. You will not be charged a choral fee this year.  We feel this helps families who are in chorus for multiple years as a student can use the same dress or shirt from year to year.  The attire is yours to keep at the end of each year.  SPA has created a Providence Academy store with the approved apparel.  Please watch the videos for help when sizing. You will notice that the dresses have a lovely sash with one of our school colors.  

Students will be responsible for their own BLACK dress shoes.  If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Jill Roberts, Fine Arts Director.
