Welcome to Petersburg City Public Schools and the 2017-2018 school year! To assist in preparing you for this school year we would like to provide you with some important information about your student, your student’s school, and your rights as a parent. This parent handbook will discuss all of those things while also showing you just how important your involvement is to the academic success of your child. A parent (according to Title I, Part A), in addition to a natural parent, is a legal guardian or other person standing in loco parentis. This means that a grandparent or stepparent with whom the child lives, or a person who is legally responsible for the child’s welfare would also be considered a parent.
