Preparing for Your Arrival at PCA

• Please visit the Enrollment at PCA page for enrollment information.
• Delaware is a school choice state. For more information, visit the Delaware School Choice page.

Preparing for Your Move from PCA

• Notify your student’s school of any upcoming moves or changes in residence.
• Ask for unofficial copies of your student’s records.
• Use the Moving With Military-Connected Students checklist to gather important information to carry to your next duty station.
• The final step in the withdrawal process is for the new school to request the official records.
• Delaware’s compulsory attendance requirements require schools to officially send records before removing students from enrollment records.
• Students will continue to be marked absent until the receiving school sends a records request or the current school contacts the new school.

Support Resources at PCA

PCA has a Support Team that includes a school counselor, school psychologists, behavior interventionist, support paraprofessional, family student interventionist, and nurses. The Support Team provides a variety of resources, supports, and interventions, including schoolwide social-emotional learning, individual check-ins, skills groups, and individual or group counseling. PCA also partners with a local mental health provider with training specific to supporting military-connected individuals to provide in-school therapy for students when needed.

PCA is proud to implement Anchored4Life.

Anchored4Life provides opportunities for peers to enhance social skills, learn leadership skills, build character, improve self-esteem, and integrate into their community. It is a peer-to-peer club that benefits all students, with particular support for military-connected students.

Activities include tours for new and prospective families, character-building activities, an annual service project, positive and motivational quotes, and student support boxes for deployment, reunions, moves, grief, and other life events.
