Join us at PES for our first PTO meeting of the year! All community members, parents, grandparents, staff, and teachers are welcome - whether it's your first time or you've been involved for years, we'd love to see you there!
We're excited to welcome PES Volunteers for the 2025-2026 school year. To get everyone started, we're hosting a required Volunteer Training session. See the attached flyer for dates and times.
Come out and MEET THE PANTHERS!! Please note the updated times as we add an opportunity to cheer on our Pikeville Junior Hight Football team as they take on Southern Gap, VA! Come and support our Panthers of all age groups in addition to recognizing student athletes competing throughout the fall season! There will also be performances by our PHS Pep Band, Dance Team, and Cheer! We look forward to seeing you Saturday evening! Go Panthers!!!
All students, faculty, and staff are invited to wear purple tomorrow, Wednesday, August 13th, to honor the legacy of Alice Rich!
Pikeville Elementary School is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Alice Rich who devoted 39 years of her life to serving our students and staff in the cafeteria. Alice was more than someone who prepared and served meals…she was a friend to all and a constant presence in our school family. Her smile, her laughter, and her kindness touched generations of students and coworkers. It is hard to imagine our cafeteria without her. Her dedication, love, and service will never be forgotten, and her legacy will live on in the countless lives she touched. Please join us as we send prayers to the family and celebrate her life and the difference she made at Pikeville Elementary School! We love you, Alice! We miss you already!
If you didn't get to start the day with these kindergarteners, I'm sorry you are missing out. Biggest smiles we have had on our faces all summer! These kids have come in to do some testing and begin their journeys as we kick off our revamped Kindercamp week that is all about our kids and getting them prepared for an outstanding school year. We love our kids and team!
Good afternoon! As you are likely aware, Senate Bill 181 requires that all communication between students and staff/volunteers be through a traceable communication system. Those approved systems are on the attached flyer.
In addition, this piece of legislation also did allow for a parent/guardian to complete a waiver for each individual staff member who they determine might have a need for communication with their child outside of the traceable system. The waiver is available with the obvious understanding by employees and volunteers that all communication is required to be ethical, legal and only for the purposes stated on the form. This waiver must be initiated by the parent/guardian and kept on file in the child’s school. Because of the need to assure these forms are initiated and completed by the parent, the forms will need to be printed, with the original signature of the parent/guardian and turned in to the child’s school.
Please notice that there is not an end date on these waivers, as this would become a clerical difficulty, but based upon SB 181, you can visit the school office anytime to revoke the waiver by simply completing the bottom portion.
We want to be clear that this is simply a parent right and completion by you cannot be required by any employee or volunteer for any reason. Also, the participation in any organization, class or activity cannot be limited based upon whether or not a waiver is completed.
We appreciate your patience and willingness to complete these forms as we work to be in compliance with the law and always place the safety of our students as a top priority. Please never hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We hope you have a blessed day!
Sincerely,
David Trimble

Those who are using the city facilities and have scheduled activities through them can park at the baseball field, the Farmers Market or in the PHS Auditorium parking lot.
Just a reminder, the Dead Period begins at midnight tonight. ALL athletic facilities owned by Pikeville Independent Schools will be closed and unavailable for use, and all Pikeville Independent Schools teams will have no further activities until July 10th.
Also, please download the new app “Pikeville Independent School” if you have not done so already and turn on notifications, as all communication will transition to that app beginning June 30th. We look forward to the experience with this new communication tool.
We hope you have a blessed evening!
Reminder that beginning June 25th through July 9th, will be the KHSAA mandated Dead Period!
Due to the limited activity and opportunity to attend to various maintenance and custodial needs, there will be limited front office availability throughout the Dead Period.
-- ALL Athletic Facilities will be CLOSED! As a result of this closure, our custodial and maintenance staff will be conducting their cleaning, sealing, and other maintenance needs during this time in our facilities.
-- NO contact between athletes and school personnel (paid or volunteer) may take place during the Dead Period.
