First Week of
School Notice
Dear Parents and Students:
PHS is continuing with the
one lunch concept called STAT. Please read
below for more information if you are not
familiar with STAT. Also, we will be
sending a newsletter with instruction and
important information before school begins
so that you have a basic understanding of
what to expect, particularly the first week.
Below is a brief summary.
-
The first day of
school is a two hour late start for
grades 10-12.
-
The first day of
school for freshmen begins at 7:30a.m.
They will go through orientation,
pictures, and STAT training.
-
No STAT for the
first two days of school. This is to
allow students to get their ID cards and
review student handbook.
-
STAT will begin
Thursday, the third day of school.
-
No off campus
privileges the first week of school.
This is to allow for STAT
training. Thursday and Friday during
STAT students will undergo STAT
training, participate in opening
assemblies, and clubs.
Main, ASB &
Counseling Offices will open
7:00a.m.-2:30p.m. with the main offices open
until 3:00p.m.

PHS is
hosted its
annual community service day. This year's
project included a landscape makeover to the
front of our school.
Before
After
The
PE/Health & Fitness Department wants to
inform you that next year all students
enrolled in a PE class will be wearing a PE
uniform. A fee of $10 is required and
includes a PE T-shirt, lock rental fee, and
equipment usage fee. Each student will be
responsible for supplying and wearing their
own black shorts or black sweatpants. Extra
shirts are available for purchase for $6.
All fees will be paid at the ASB office.
Student-Teacher Access Time
(STAT)
2008-09
Parents:
Last
spring PHS adjusted its lunch time schedule.
The purpose was to provide time for students
to meet their individual learning needs,
provide collaboration time for staff,
establish a system of privileges and
establish a detailed intervention plan for
students. This adjusted lunch time is
referred to as Student-Teacher Access Time
or S.T.A.T. This occurs every day from
10:15-11:15 (after 3rd period). The first
week of school students will be trained on
how they can benefit from STAT.
We
encourage you to have your son or daughter
meet with their teachers, create study
groups, and be involved in their school
during STAT time. Students now have time
every day to meet with their teachers or
attend our peer tutoring lab in the library
to get help with their school work.

more about what PHS is doing to improve
student achievement with STAT and why,
