A note from Nurse Shroyer...
Food (or drink) for thought: Energy drinks are becoming increasingly popular with students. Not only can these drinks cause anxiety and jitters, but can lead to heart problems. Studies also suggest that certain ingredients in energy drinks can be detrimental to learning in the developing brain.
End of Semester
We are approaching the end of the first semester for our staff and students. We have 18 more days of learning before the semester ends and students have 18 more days to improve their grade if they are behind.
Semester exams will take place on December 19 and December 20 for most students, some teachers may begin on December 18. It is important that students are in attendance during semester exams, there are no exemptions in the first semester.
For many students this time of year is where their attendance declines, they struggle to get up in the morning - this is where we need our parents help, students struggle to close out their semester when they aren't at school!
STUCO Blood Drive - November 27
The money raised through the Red Cross Blood Drive also provides a scholarship to one of our 2024 graduates. We hope you will sign up today!

Policy Reminder: Spectator Expectations at Events
As we ramp up basketball season, we just want to remind everyone of the expectations of spectators at events. Basketball is a physical and high-intensity sport, tensions can run high. We want all of our athletes and Blu-Jay fans to be able to enjoy the game!
From the PHS Student/Family Handbook:
Parent/Adult/Spectator Expectations at Events: In order to ensure a safe and orderly environment in which our students can maximize their educational and social development, the following regulations are enacted with respect to the conduct of adult visitors:
1. Access to extracurricular locker rooms, meeting rooms, school transportation, and the like is strictly limited to students involved in extracurricular activities, sponsors/coaches, and administrators. Access by all others is prohibited by the Board of Education. Failure to comply with this policy will result in a suspension of the individual from extracurricular activities and/or school premises.
2. Verbally aggressive behavior, which would include, but not be limited to, threats, intimidation, and profanity, will result in limited access to school premises and school activities for up to one (1) year. The length of the restriction will be determined by the administration.
3. Physical or violent behavior will result in a ban by the Board of Education from school premises and activities and will be referred to law enforcement.
4. Failures to comply with the restricted access provided in these regulations will result in the filing of civil and/or criminal charges.
