As we prepare for the construction of the new Randy Pope Equipping Center, there are a few important changes to our carline procedures this school year.
No carline walk-ups in the afternoons. For the safety of our students, families, and the construction crews, walk-ups will not be permitted this school year. All students must be picked up through the carline.
Additional changes coming later this fall. As construction progresses, we will make further adjustments to the carline route and procedures to safely accommodate construction activity. We will communicate these updates well in advance.
Click here to access the carline instructions
Students may be dropped off between 7:45 and 8:05 AM and picked up between 12:15 and 12:30 PM or 3:15 and 3:30 PM. Students dropped off before 8:05 AM should go to their morning rooms: Atrium (grades K-PF), Midtown Auditorium (grades 1-2), Depot (grades 3-5), and Gym (grades 6-8).
Please ensure your students know on which side of the barricade they will be picked up at 3:15 PM. This is especially important if we need to use rainy-day carline procedures.
As a Perimeter School parent, you are required to wear your name badge while on campus to identify yourself inside the building. Parents may gain access to school hallways by using the camera at each office entrance to call the school office and be buzzed in.
If you have lost your badge, please contact Amy Adkison, Director of Operations. Replacement badges are $10 and will be billed through FACTS.
New Perimeter School parents, you may pick up your badges at the New Parent Gathering on July 23.
The care and safety of your covenant child are of utmost importance to us at Perimeter School. That’s why Perimeter Church has enlisted the help of an organization called Ministry Safe to train all staff and volunteers to protect children. As a parent at Perimeter School, you have committed to being a teacher/volunteer in your child’s class and are required to complete Ministry Safe training. If you receive one or more emails regarding Ministry Safe, please know that each email contains a separate link for an item that needs to be completed as soon as you are notified.
It is important to note that there are periodic updates that parents must complete, so even if you have completed Ministry Safe training in the past, there may be sections that need to be updated.
If your credit card expires, please update your card information in FACTS.
When your student has a wellness check-up, Perimeter School recommends including a vision/hearing screening.
If your child has medication or special medical needs, such as allergies or asthma, please download and complete the required forms in the medical section of the Helpful Resources page and turn them in to the clinic (along with any medication) during the first week of school.
We encourage you to put a Perimeter School magnet on each of your vehicles to show your membership in our covenant family. Also, this helps us better identify Perimeter School vehicles in the carline. Magnets are available in both school offices.
GOAL is now accepting tax credit applications for 2027. Sign up now to help make it possible for students who qualify to receive a covenant education at Perimeter School.

Something amazing is being woven this fall! This year’s fall play is Charlotte’s Web by E.B White (dramatized by Joseph Robinette).
Auditions will be held on Wednesday, August 19, and Thursday, August 20, with callbacks on Friday, August 21, for students in grades 5-8.
The audition checklist is available here. It contains everything you will need to complete before auditions, in order.
Auditions for the fall play and spring musical will be held separately, and students may audition for both. We will celebrate those students who have strength in both dramatic and musical arts, which means it is quite possible to be cast in both shows!
Please contact Katherine Brown, Drama Director, with any questions.
