Are you wondering if your current school choice is right for your child? Thinking of making a switch but not sure if the timing is right? At PCS WEST, we welcome new elementary school students throughout the school year. Here are five reasons to make the switch today!

1. Your child is not making progress at school
Is your child struggling to read? Not learning at grade level compared to their peers? Our teachers are experts at reaching students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. We use Orton Gillingham-based reading remediation, multisensory instructional methods and individual learning plans so students can succeed.

2. Your child is struggling socially
Does your child look forward to going to school each day? Are they finding friendships and developing social and emotional skills? At PCS West, we support every child as they find confidence as valued members of their classrooms, and join supportive friend groups. Surrounded by peers that face similar challenges, PCS West students learn in a welcoming and caring environment.
3. Your child needs more academic support
A PCS West education is not one-size-fits-all. We offer individualized support and small group learning so each student has plenty of 1:1 teacher time. Each classroom has two co-teachers who get to know their students’ abilities and needs. Our school counselor and interventionists are on hand for learners who need extra support.
4. You want to participate in your child’s learning
PCS West parents are often more hands-on and involved in our classrooms than in other schools. Our teachers partner with parents and caregivers to support student learning through frequent communication about student progress. Families are encouraged to volunteer through our parent group, as reading helpers, and at school events. We value our families!
5. You’re ready for a fresh start
Switching schools guarantees new opportunities for healthy friendships as well as an academic reset. At PCS West, you’ll find that our students have so many reasons to love coming to school. From in-school Tae Kwon Do lessons, to hands-on learning experiences in our Makerspace and greenhouse, choosing a PCS West education is going to be an exciting and positive change for your child.
Why wait to make a switch to a school that will help your child thrive? At PCS West, we are here to help your child succeed – starting right now. Interested in learning more?
