  • PSAT

    The PSAT is administered once a year nationwide. The administration date for the 2021 PSAT is Tuesday, October 26th, 2021. As its' name implies, this is a great assessment to get a baseline of expected performance for the SAT that many students will take. Peachtree Ridge (through a grant from the Georgia Department of Education) offers the PSAT FREE OF CHARGE to all students in a 10th-grade PRIDE and at a charge for any student in a 9th and 11th-grade PRIDE. The PSAT is NOT recommended for seniors. Currently, Peachtree Ridge does NOT offer the PSAT 8/9. 
    If you are interested in taking the PSAT, registration for this assessment is done on the MYPAYMENTSPLUS.com website. Only students in 9th and 11th-grade PRIDES would need to register on the site as all students in a 10th-grade PRIDE are automatically registered. The cost of the exam is $18. Registration is open now through September 29th at midnight. Students may register as a LATE REGISTRANT (pending enough materials) on the MYPAYMENTSPLUS site through October 9th at midnight at a cost of $25.

  • Deliveries to School

    We do not interrupt classes for student messages or for the delivery of forgotten items such as lunches, money, keys, books, homework, book bags, etc.  
    Students are encouraged to remember to bring needed items with them to school. In addition, we do not deliver flowers, gifts, or fast food to classrooms.  
    Students may not receive any deliveries from a third party (friends, outside vendors, restaurants, etc.) at any time during the school day, including lunchtime. 
     
    Interruption of classes for deliveries interferes with instruction. Please help us protect the learning environment. P.10 Student Handbook

  • Student Drop-Off/Pick-Up

    We have more drop-off and pick-up riders this year. As a reminder, the pick-up and drop-off location is located outside of the commons near the overhang area. There have been instances of students leaving cars on Old Peachtree Road, across the street in neighborhoods, and at other locations at Peachtree Ridge. Please be mindful that it is a safety concern when students are dropped off or picked up at these other locations.
