The Perquimans County Middle School seventh grade teachers are beginning to bridge the gap between the school and the community by making home visits to parents. The teachers use their planning periods to go out. in teams of two, to reach the parents they feel may not be reached during PTSA. Teacher Workdays, or any other time de signed for parents to visit the school. The mission of Perquimans County Schools is to teach all the children. Keeping this mis sion in focus, the seventh grade teachers feel in order to educate the children one must make the parents aware of what's going on in the school academically and socially. This foat that the PCMS sev enth grade teachers undertook has been met with great suc cess. We are now reaching ap proximately 90 percent of our parents through PTSA, workshops, and team efforts. The seventh grade team will continue to try methods to reach our parents so that they will be aware of what's happen ing with their child(ren) at PCMS.
