Paxon School For Advanced Studies -

Are you a Junior or Senior interested in interacting with prospective students and families? Join us for our interest meeting on August 18th.

Greetings Eagles!

We are back with a final informational update before our return to school Monday, August 11th.

Class Schedules/Bell Schedules

Students will receive a new schedule on colored paper each of the first two days of school. To facilitate this process, we will be on a special bell schedule for the first two days of school. Please review the alternate schedule on the published flyer. Please also make sure you download our regular bell schedule and calendar which are also included in this message.

Regular Bell Schedule

AB Calendar August 2025

Pick-up and Drop Off

Pick-up and drop-off for students occurs at the front of the school. Cars waiting for students and those dropping off students should pull to the right side of the driveway. The left side of the driveway is for thru traffic. We ask all cars to pull up as far as possible. Students can be dropped off as early as 7 AM. Students must be picked up no later than 3:15 PM.

Safety

Beginning the first day, upon arrival to school, all students must pass through our Evolve weapons detection system. Please refer to the flyer for details about procedures for entering the school.

Lunch

During the first week of school, the lunch lines may move slowly, and lunch service may extend past the lunch bell. Please be advised that every student will be permitted to receive a lunch and complete their lunch prior to returning to class while the campus adjusts. To facilitate lunch service, we ask that students refer to the flyer previously distributed to know when they have lunch. We again encourage every family to complete the lunch application to determine your free/reduced lunch status.

Paxon teachers are ready for the return to school!

This week, members of the Paxon English department met for their annual summer planning session. They engaged in reflection and planning for the new year, enjoyed a meal, and engaged in some friendly competition in our Book Spine Poetry Battle.

At Paxon, our faculty works year round to give their best to every student. Thank you to our teachers for getting a jump start on the new year. We are eager to welcome all of our teachers back on August 4th!
