HOME OF THE PIRATES
Pike County Schools partners with families and our broader community to build a strong, lifelong foundation of literacy from birth to career. By fostering early language development, strong elementary foundational skills, and advanced adolescent literacy across all academic disciplines, we ensure every student learns to read with understanding, write with purpose, and communicate with confidence and shape their own futures.
Pike County Primary School
- Our Kindergartners come weekly to the Media Center to enjoy a book shared by Mrs. Johnson and to check out new library books.
- We have 2 Scholastic Book Fairs through the year and host a Title I Family Math Night in the Fall and a Title I Family Reading Night in the Spring.
- At PCPS we have started a Mini Mates program, and students get to help work in the Media Center. They assist with shelving books, checking in books and fixing the shelves.
- We also give out dog tags for AR at 5 point intervals.
Pike County Elementary School
Our school’s new book vending machine initiative has been a huge success, delighting elementary students with free take-home books. Students can earn a machine token in three exciting ways: by being randomly drawn after getting “caught reading in the wild,” completing the Georgia Children’s Book Awards nominee reading challenge, or becoming a monthly top reader for their grade
