A big welcome to our newly enrolled families! We are so thrilled you are joining the Perimeter School family!
This page has helpful information and resources that will introduce you to Perimeter School.
As you read through this information, you may encounter terms particular to Perimeter School. We have created a guide to our Perimeter School lingo here to help you transition into our community.
You will soon hear from another Perimeter School family member who will welcome you and answer any questions you might have.
Each class will have a get-together the week before school starts in August. This is a chance for students and parents to meet and get to know one another before the school year begins.
Watch your inbox for an important email from FACTS Management Company. This will include your tuition and payment schedule for the year. Please check the amounts listed in the email to ensure your billing is correct.
Contact April Barranco with any questions.

Students are responsible for completing summer assignments before the first day of school, Monday, August 12, unless another date is specified on their assignments.

Please note that not all items on each grade’s supply list can be purchased as part of the prepackaged kit. Some items will need to be purchased separately. Check your student’s supply list for these items.

The care and safety of your covenant child(ren) are of utmost importance to us at Perimeter School. That’s why Perimeter Church has enlisted the help of an organization called Ministry Safe to train all staff and volunteers to protect children. As a parent at Perimeter School, you have committed to being a teacher/volunteer in your child’s class and are required to complete Ministry Safe training. If you receive one or more emails regarding Ministry Safe, please know that each email contains a SEPARATE link for an item that needs to be completed as soon as you are notified.
It is important to note that there are periodic times that parents will need to renew portions of this program, so even if you have completed Ministry Safe training in the past, there may be pieces that need to be updated.
The Ministry Safe program is an ongoing process. Each parent must complete the necessary step(s) once they receive an “Expiring Soon” email. Otherwise, parents will be out of compliance and not be able to participate in school activities involving students.
The week of August 5, plan to attend teacher meet and greets and class get-togethers.
The first day of school will be Monday, August 12. Adventure will begin on this date as well.
Classes begin at 8:15 AM (students may be dropped off as early as 7:45 AM) and afternoon carline begins at 12:15 PM and 3:15 PM.
Mandatory parent meetings and campus meetings are held on Monday nights during the school year.
You can find the most up-to-date calendar information on the school web calendar. The web calendar will be updated throughout the summer, and a printed calendar will be distributed in August.
We desire for all of our Perimeter School parents to feel connected and informed!
Check your inbox. An email containing important grade level information, summer assignments, school supply lists, and other summer announcements was sent on May 27.
A back-to-school email will be sent the week of July 22. This email will include specific details for the upcoming year.
During the summer, please feel free to reach out to your summer mentors with any questions.
Every Tuesday during the school year, you will receive the Week at a Glance. This email will include school-wide announcements, important reminders, and a weekly blog to equip and encourage you and your family.
Teachers and room parents will also send emails with class-specific announcements and reminders during the school year whenever necessary, specifically at the beginning of each month to outline classroom serving assignments, field trips, and other important dates.
During the school year, please feel free to reach out to your room parents with any questions.
One of the great joys and benefits of our school is parent involvement. Roles and responsibilities vary in every grade, but you will find that when your years at Perimeter School are over, the opportunity to be in the classroom with your child was one of the greatest blessings!
The week of August 5, you will receive an email outlining the process for signing up for your parent serving responsibilities for the entire school year.
And first and second grade parents get the special blessing of teaching Friday Enrichment Days! There will be a training at the beginning of the school year to help you feel equipped to lead these days. Details about this training will be available later in the summer.
At Perimeter School, our purpose is to educate and equip generations of students and families to glorify God and pursue kingdom flourishing.
The Perimeter School blog is a great resource for equipping and encouragement. Perimeter School leaders, teachers, parents, and alumni share timely and invaluable wisdom with our covenant community.
Check your inbox for an email from Right Now Media with instructions to access their library of equipping videos and content.
And stay tuned for opportunities throughout the year to be equipped as you fulfill your calling to love, serve, and lead your family.
Follow the Perimeter School Facebook and Perimeter School Instagram pages for encouragement, equipping, alumni stories, and more!
Join the Perimeter School Covenant Family Facebook page and the Perimeter School Marketplace Facebook page. These are private Facebook groups for Perimeter School families, monitored by the School Ministry Team (SMT).
The Honors Reading Program is an optional program offered to students at Perimeter School in grades 1-8. Students who choose to participate read books from the list of living books for their grade level (or above), keep track of the titles they read, and are given recognition at the end of the school year if they read the number of books that qualifies them for “gold” or “silver” (this number varies by grade level). Click here to learn more about the heart behind this program.
The 2024-2025 Honors Reading lists and instructions can be found here.
Contact Barbara Beach, Director of Libraries, with any questions.
The fine arts are a great way for your child to get involved at Perimeter School. While dramatic interpretation, storytelling, poetic interpretation, and class plays are common in our elementary classwork, middle school students have a few more opportunities in the dramatic arts. Perimeter School performs two extracurricular productions each year, which are open to students in grades 4-8 through auditions that take place in August.
Check the back-to-school page for show announcements and audition information.
We are also proud to host a chapter of the International Thespian Society. Any middle school student is eligible to join the Junior Thespians through points awarded for participation in extracurricular productions and activities.
Contact Meredith Bowman, Drama Department Director, with any questions.
The mission of Perimeter School Athletics is to create and develop athletes who love strongly, compete fiercely, and work diligently. Our standard-bearer is Jesus Christ, and it is His example that should define all of these traits. Athletic technique and training will be given in a way that prepares students for the high school level, but that concept will come secondary to the strengthening of their identities in Christ. In short, our student-athletes are spiritually strengthened and athletically prepared.
If your grade 5-8 student is interested in Perimeter Athletics for the 2024-2025 school year, click here to fill out the 2024-2025 athletics interest form.
